Kahne finds short track frustrating

“It was just a frustrating day for the Budweiser Dodge team today,” Enumclaw NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Kasey Kahne said after Sunday’s 19th-place finish at Martinsville Speedway. “We just fought tight all day. I never could get it to turn. We did our best and got the best finish we could with what we had.”

Kahne started sixth, based on Sprint Cup drivers’ standings after qualifying was rained out Friday, but quickly fell to the middle of the field and stayed there all day.

Jimmie Johnson picked up the win.

Kahne fell three spots to ninth in drivers’ point standings, 214 points behind leader Jeff Gordon.

Racing continues Sunday from Texas Motorspeedway. Television coverage begins at 10:30 a.m. on FOX.
