Gillett Evernham Motorsports driver Kasey Kahne has filed a written plea of not guilty to a charge of misdemeanor battery stemming from an alleged pushing incident with a security guard Nov. 16 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

The not guilty plea was filed Thursday and cancels the arraignment scheduled for Tuesday.

Kahne has hired Richard Sharpstein as his attorney. Sharpstein has been in the news recently as the attorney and family friend of murdered Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor.

Kahne also faces a civil suit stemming from the incident. According to witness statements, Kahne's brother said Kahne was pushing the guard's hands off of him, while the security guard claims Kahne shoved him.

    This is unbelieveable, makes a person wonder about the court system in Dade County. Is this because of Kahne's reputation as such a bada**. (That would be sarcasm, folks).
