Who's Hot?

Is Kasey Kahne pouring it on now or what? After a dismal 2005 season, he is finally answering all skeptics out there. Yes, folks the boy is not only the subject of every female NASCAR fan's desire, he can also compete at NASCAR's top level. Through 9 races of the 2006 season, Kasey has finished with 5 top 5's placing him tied for 3rd in the championship standings.

The next stop on the Nextel Cup schedule is Phoenix. Expect Kasey to finish well there. In 3 starts, his average finish is 16th.

 An important fact about all 3 of Kasey's career Nextel Cup victories is that he was the pole sitter for each race.
