Kasey Kahne to Make a Return to NASCAR Racing? Former Hendrick Motorsports Driver Reveals Future Plans
After a seven-year break from NASCAR, Kasey Kahne’s return to the track at Rockingham Speedway on April 19 nearly stole the whole spotlight. Driving the #33 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Kahne qualified P4 and brought the car home inside the top 15 — a commendable feat given his long […]
After a seven-year break from NASCAR, Kasey Kahne’s return to the track at Rockingham Speedway on April 19 nearly stole the whole spotlight.
Driving the #33 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Kahne qualified P4 and brought the car home inside the top 15 — a commendable feat given his long absence from the sport.
However, many believe he left plenty on the table. A Stage 1 incident left his car wounded for the remainder of the 256-lap race, likely costing him a top-five finish.
That glimpse of competitive form has sparked speculation among fans about whether Kahne might return to the Xfinity or Cup Series later this year, or if he has other plans in the pipeline.
Speaking with Shannon Spake on NASCAR Daily, Kahne shed light on his future. He said, “We have two sprint car teams and we race in the High Limit series… So, and that they start next year… Really happy to be part of that. But I want to run the entire series and try to get one of those franchises for KKR [Kasey Kahne Racing] in the future, whether I’m in the car or not.”
Kahne also hinted at the possibility of bagging in another NASCAR appearance, saying, “There’s a few open weekends, I don’t know if we could squeeze another race in or not this year on the NASCAR side. One thing I would like to do is that Rockingham race again next year.”
“That to me just made a lot of sense. It was just a really cool, fun, put-together week. So maybe doing that next year would be something that would work as well,” he added.
So, although no NASCAR races are currently set in stone for Kasey Kahne, his consistent involvement in dirt track racing has kept him sharp behind the wheel.
Now at the age of 45, he remains active through Kasey Kahne Racing and is set to compete full-time in the 2025 Kubota High Limit Racing Series. His initial exit from NASCAR, however, wasn’t by choice.
At 38, Kahne faced recurring issues with overheating and rapid dehydration inside the car, an issue he discussed on a February episode of Dirty Mo Media’s Dale Jr. Download. After spending several years away from the demanding heat and duration of a stock car cockpit, he felt the time was right to strap back in, this time with Richard Childress Racing.
Whether Kahne takes another swing at NASCAR — be it in Cup, Xfinity, or Trucks — remains up in the air. Still, a return would undoubtedly fire up the fan base. If given the green light for a Cup start, similar to how NASCAR accommodated drivers like Katherine Legge, his appearance would surely turn heads.
Famed Atlanta NASCAR Facility Now EchoPark Speedway
EchoPark Speedway, then known as Atlanta International Raceway, hosted its first NASCAR event in 1960, and has been a stop on the calendar ever since.

EchoPark Speedway, then known as Atlanta International Raceway, hosted its first NASCAR event in 1960, and has been a stop on the calendar ever since. The venue hosted the NASCAR season finale from 1987 to 2000. It was the site of the memorable conclusion to the 1992 NASCAR Cup Series season, which saw Richard Petty’s final race, Jeff Gordon’s first career NASCAR Cup Series start, and a dramatic championship battle with Alan Kulwicki narrowly claiming the title.
The 1.54-mile oval was reconfigured following the 2021 season, with banking in the turns increased to 28 degrees. This repave and reconfiguration brought superspeedway-style racing to the Hampton, Georgia facility. In 2024, Daniel Suarez defeated Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch in a three-wide finish where the trio was separated by just 0.007 seconds.
EchoPark Speedway will host two NASCAR national touring series during the spectacular June 26-28 summer event. Schedules, tickets, and camping for the Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart weekend, can be found online at EchoParkSpeedway.com.
NASCAR’s Bubba Wallace Brought To Tears As He Shares What Motivates Him The Most
Key Takeways Bubba Wallace finished in sixth place in the Cracker Barrel 400. Bubba and Amanda Wallace welcomed their first child in September of last year.

Bubba and Amanda Wallace welcomed their first child in September of last year.
Wallace shared with the post-race show panel that “having a kid changes your life.”
This week the NASCAR Cup Series rolled into Music City for the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. While Ryan Blaney took the checkered flag Sunday night, another driver’s unexpected, emotional post-race moment is what has people talking.
Bubba Wallace finished in sixth place in Sunday night’s race and stopped by the post-race show set to talk about it with the Prime Video crew Danielle Trotta, Carl Edwards, and Corey LaJoie.
Wallace’s impressive top-ten finish comes after several frustrating weeks of finishing outside of the top 30. With just 11 races left for drivers to make the playoffs, every little bit of momentum and points earned per race finish placement helps. This sixth place finish could be what Wallace needs to turn his season around and give him a chance to win a championship.

When asked about finding support when going through a difficult moment, Wallace was briefly overcome with emotion. “The biggest part, and it’s incredible. I wish everyone could experience it but having a kid changes your life,” he said.
NASCAR Hall of Famer Carl Edwards let out a knowing laugh as he patted Wallace on the shoulder and said “Amen.”
Edwards famously walked away from racing when he was at the height of sport in 2017, in large part to be more present for his own two children. It was clear in his reaction, he understood the emotions Wallace is just beginning to experience. Wallace and his wife Amanda welcomed their first child, a son named Becks Hayden on September 29, 2024.

Trotta followed up by asking how becoming a father has motivated or changed him and Wallace answered, “That’s the biggest support system. He’s 8 months, he doesn’t know what’s going on but he’s excited to see me every time.”
The driver of the number 23 car for 23XI Racing became visibly emotional from this discussion and briefly became too overwhelmed to speak as he wiped tears from his face.
Edwards again comforted him and said “Aw buddy, that is beautiful to hear a father share that. Thank you. Thank you for sharing that with us.”
With a quick sip of a beverage and a handshake and words of encouragement from his pal Corey LaJoie, Wallace is able to regain composure as they close out the segment.
Wallace and the whole field of drivers head to Michigan this week. Maybe we’ll all get to see little Becks in Dad’s arms in Victory Lane on Sunday afternoon. Coverage of the NASCAR at Michigan International Speedway begins at 1:30 p.m. EST streaming live on Prime Video.

HAMPTON, Ga., June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Speedway Motorsports and EchoPark Automotive introduced the new identity of Georgia’s only NASCAR track today; the iconic, 66-year-old facility in Hampton, formerly known as Atlanta Motor Speedway, is now EchoPark Speedway.
Through a new partnership, the speedway – which hosts two NASCAR Cup Series races annually, including the upcoming June 28 Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart – will carry the EchoPark brand for the duration of a seven-year, multi-million-dollar agreement.
Editor‘s Note:Supporting logos and b-roll available for download here.
Specializing in pre-owned vehicle sales, EchoPark Automotive is one of three operating segments of Sonic Automotive, Inc., a Fortune 300 company and one of the largest automotive and powersports retailers in the United States. EchoPark Automotive operates 17 locations in 13 markets, including Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama, where a majority of Atlanta NASCAR fans travel from each year to visit the historic speedway. From restart zone signage to fan zone activations and race entitlements, the pre-owned car dealership chain has leveraged resources across nine Speedway Motorsports facilities nationwide to activate its brand and reach race fans and potential new customers. Acquiring the naming rights to one of NASCAR’s most iconic tracks is the latest and biggest step in this strategy for EchoPark Automotive.
“We have enjoyed serving guests in the Atlanta metro area since EchoPark Atlanta opened its doors in 2020,” said David B. Smith, Chairman and CEO of Sonic Automotive. “This partnership allows us to share the value of the exceptional EchoPark car-buying experience with more guests in Atlanta and the surrounding area who enjoy the excitement of NASCAR racing at this iconic venue.”
EchoPark Automotive is seen as the number one pre-owned car buying experience, reflected in over 100,000 five-star reviews. Using this iconic sports venue, which is the largest in all of Georgia, will help EchoPark Automotive share the message of the brand to millions locally and nationally through major televised NASCAR events.
EchoPark Speedway’s entire 850-acre facility has undergone a massive facelift in preparation for its upcoming national debut as the opening race for the TNT portion of the NASCAR broadcast schedule and the kickoff event for the new in-season Cup Series tournament. Fans will see the new EchoPark Speedway’s signature green color and the new track logo across track walls, Victory Lane, and throughout the concourse when they attend the Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart on Saturday night, June 28, or tune in nationally at 7 p.m. ET on TNT.
The winner of the race will also receive a “nearly new” EchoPark Chevy Silverado and a trailer equipped with an 85th Anniversary, Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Limited Edition Harley-Davidson motorcycle. These exclusive motorcycles can be pre-ordered now at SturgisHD.com, but the very first one of only 26 manufactured will go to the winner of the inaugural EchoPark Speedway race. This incredible prize will be presented to the winner in Victory Lane courtesy of EchoPark Automotive.
“This is a great opportunity to showcase the incredible vehicles we sell at EchoPark and share the exposure with another important entity in our Sonic Automotive family,” said Jeff Dyke, President of Sonic Automotive. “The Sturgis Rally is right around the corner, and we know NASCAR fans and drivers will not only love the new presentation of this track, but also the opportunity to see this limited edition Harley-Davidson presented in Victory Lane.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with an innovative, customer-focused company like EchoPark Automotive as the entitlement partner of our newly named EchoPark Speedway,” said Speedway Motorsports President and CEO Marcus Smith. “EchoPark Automotive is as committed to exceptional customer service as we are, and we know that together we’ll elevate our fan experience to a new level unmatched for Southern hospitality. This partnership will fuel great experiences for fans attending our speedway for years to come.”
EchoPark Speedway has a storied history in NASCAR, hosting races every year since it opened as Atlanta International Raceway in 1960. The speedway hosted NASCAR’s season finale from 1987-2000, including the epic conclusion of the 1992 campaign which saw “The King,” Richard Petty, compete in his last NASCAR race; future legend Jeff Gordon make his first NASCAR Cup Series start; and Georgia’s own Bill Elliott win the race – narrowly losing the title to underdog owner-driver Alan Kulwicki.
Racing enthusiasts have long celebrated EchoPark Speedway’s high-speed, close-quarters racing action and exhilaratingly close finishes. Since its reconfiguration to a 28-degree banked, superspeedway-style track in 2021, that reputation has only been further bolstered. Three- and four-wide racing with abundant lead changes have become the norm when NASCAR visits Atlanta. In February 2024, EchoPark Speedway saw the closest three-wide finish in NASCAR history with race winner Daniel Suárez eclipsing Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch by just 0.003 and 0.007 seconds, respectively. Earlier this year, a new record was set for most lead changes at the speedway. This month’s Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart is expected to continue that trend of thrilling NASCAR action in Atlanta.
EchoPark Speedway will host two NASCAR national touring series during the spectacular June 26-28 summer event. Schedules, tickets, and camping for the Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart weekend, can be found online at EchoParkSpeedway.com.

Corey LaJoie secures major NASCAR Truck deal with Spire Motorsports
Fans have been getting to see plenty of Corey LaJoie over the last two weeks as an analyst for Prime Video’s NASCAR Cup coverage, but soon they’ll get to see the third-generation racer behind the wheel once again.

Fans have been getting to see plenty of Corey LaJoie over the last two weeks as an analyst for Prime Video’s NASCAR Cup coverage, but soon they’ll get to see the third-generation racer behind the wheel once again.
Starting with this weekend’s race at Michigan, LaJoie will drive for Spire Motorsports in nine NASCAR Truck Series, running a total of nine races this year. LaJoie previously competed with Spire full-time in the Cup Series between the 2021 and 2024 season.
LaJoie has also run three Cup races this year with Rick Ware Racing including the season-opening Daytona 500. And while he has 275 starts in the highest level of NASCAR, LaJoie has just five Truck Series starts throughout his entire career. He competed with Spire in the Truck Series for one race in 2024 and two in 2023. However, his best result came way back in 2014, finishing tenth at Bristol while driving for Ricky Benton.
In these upcoming Truck races with Spire, he will be piloting the No. 07 Chevrolet, which has already reached Victory Lane this year with Kyle Larson at Homestead.

After Michigan, LaJoie will drive the truck again at Richmond in August before running the final seven playoff races of the year as he tries to help the team win the 2025 owner’s championship.
“I’m looking forward to getting back in the seat and chasing some NASCAR Truck Series wins,” said LaJoie. said LaJoie in a release from the team. “I put in a lot of work in the early days to help shape Spire Motorsports, and I still have some friends that have been there since day one, so it’ll be good to see them. The No. 07 team has been bringing some fast trucks to the track this year and are looking for a spot in the owner’s playoffs. It’ll be nice to have some consistency with the team to get acclimated to these vehicles, chase some wins and hopefully, a Truck Series owner’s championship.”
Explaining the decision to bring LaJoie in for the title fight, team co-owner Jeff Dickerson said: “While discussing our best path to bring Spire our first Truck Series Championship and describing what we needed in a driver, the driver we were all talking about without saying his name was Corey LaJoie.
“So, when I ran into Corey in the motorhome lot one morning earlier this spring, I asked him what he thought about coming home and doing this. He is synonymous with what we’ve built here over the last few years and deserves this opportunity. I’m looking forward to getting him in the truck at Michigan to work out some kinks and start getting a game plan together for the playoffs.”
