Kahne again battling for spot in NASCAR Chase

This is getting to be quite familiar for Kasey Kahne. Ten races to go until the field for this year’s title Chase is set and Kahne is battling for a spot. His win Sunday at Infineon Raceway moved him within three points of the 12th and final transfer spot. Twice he’s entered the September Richmond race - the cutoff point to determine the Chase field - either trying to race his way into the Chase or protect a spot. “That’s a tough spot,” Kahne said. “There’s a lot of things that can go on. We’ve been through them all. I just want to start performing and do it each week and be strong and hopefully not be so close when it does come down to the Chase.” — Virginian-Pilot
