Kasey Kahne returns to roots to promote, compete in USAC event
By SceneDaily Staff
Wednesday, July 08, 2009
Kasey Kahne is returning to his roots once more, now serving as race promoter in the inaugural event as the United States Auto Club Silver Crown Series returns to Oswego (N.Y.) Speedway Aug. 6.
Kahne, who drives for Richard Petty Motorsports in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, owns a USAC Sprint and Midget team. He is helping promote the inaugural Kasey Kahne Steel Palace Classic at the track. Kahne plans to race in the event as well, as does Ryan Newman. The USAC Sprint cars last raced at the track in 1968.
"Oswego Speedway has such a storied history with open-wheel cars, so when I found out that the track hasn't hosted a USAC National race for many years, we decided to revive the series back East," said Kahne, who won the 2000 USAC Midget championship. "The Silver Crown cars harken back to the days when USAC used to run at Oswego, so in a sense, it will be like it was back in the golden days of open-wheel racing for one night."
Newman won the 1999 USAC Silver Crown championship and is the only driver to win all three USAC National rookie-of-the-year honors in the Silver Crown, Sprint and Midget series.
Oswego Speedway is a 5/8-mile paved track that seats up to 15,000 spectators. Built in 1951, it hosts the annual Budweiser International Classic each Labor Day weekend.

Jul 8, 2009 at 7:08 PMman if that race was only a little closer to me! (not that far, but just a bit too far for us to travel) I would LOVE to see those cars out there on that track, being especially that Kasey is sponsoring AND racing. What a thrill that would be!

Jul 8, 2009 at 7:14 PM#3 - No kidding! He's so busy. He's in Iowa tonight watching his World of Outlaws teams, he raced in Ohio last night, and went ARCA testing in Kentucky on Monday to act as a mentor for Brad Sweet [his USAC driver] and Ricky Carmichael. All I can say is good for him! He really enjoys everything he does, so more power to him.

Jul 8, 2009 at 8:12 PMI am really hoping I can attend this race. I am originally from the Oswego area and have attended races at the Oswego Speedway before. Now I live only an hour away, so it is possible my husband and I can attend. Too bad it is on a Thursday night, but no matter, we are going to Watkins Glen on Sunday.
