Fanning the Flames: When Life Deals You Lemons, Sign a Multi-Year Deal with Rick Hendrick
It’s a five-year deal that links Kahne and Hendrick in 2015. Seems that’s the length of choice for Hendrick nowadays; Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s contract is a similar length (2008-12)

Fanning the Flames: Earnhardt’s Adversity, Cookie-Cutter Construction & Decal Dealin’
Q: First, I am a Dale Earnhardt Jr. fan, but enough is enough. I think it’s time to go and be a car owner and hire Kasey Kahne to drive the No. 88 while he’s available. “It’s loose, it’s loose,” that’s all we hear. I, for one, am tired of the whining. Thanks, just had to vent.
