Retired NASCAR star Kasey Kahne reveals 50-race Sprint Car schedule

The next stage of Kasey Kahne's career now has a schedule.

The retired NASCAR star will compete in over 50 dirt sprint car events in 2019 alongside full-time Kasey Kahne Racing driver Brad Sweet. The schedule was revealed alongside a sponsorship announcement that sees Kahne's No. 9 funded by Wicked Energy Gum and Wicked Energy.

"This is the most excited I have been in a long time to get back to racing," Kahne said in a press release. "I feel great, and I’ve been working out a lot preparing for the upcoming season. Returning to sprint cars on a more regular basis is something that I have been looking forward to for years."

Kahne was forced to retire in September due to lingering health issues related to fatigue and dehydration. The condition prevents him from taking part in endurance length races but not shorter sprints like those the World of Outlaws and All-Star Circuit of Champions utilize. He won 18 NASCAR Cup Series races in 529 starts with a best championship finish of fourth in 2012.
