Late in Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup road course race in Sonoma, California Juan Pablo Montoya spun out Kasey Kahne and naturally Kahne was irritated by it. However, it’s what Kahne said about Montoya in a postrace interview that really bothered me. Kahne said: “last year when his cars were good he still couldn’t win a race; shows about what he can do in NASCAR.” Well, I know Kahne was talking in anger, but in the real world Montoya has been more successful than Kahne since the start of the 2010 season. Montoya, in fact, did win a race last year at Watkins Glen, which is one more race than Kahne’s won in the last year & a half. Montoya also had a higher points finish and more top 10s than Kahne last year. In fact, since Montoya has come into the sport in 2007 Kahne has only had 2 more wins, 2 more top fives and 5 more top 10s than Montoya (who took a few years to get acclimated to stock cars), and Montoya who finished 8th in the points in 2009 has a higher points finish than Kahne in any of the last 4 ½ years. Kahne is basically still living off the one really good season he had in 2006, when he won 6 races. He continues to be an overrated driver and continues acting like the princess he really is. Kasey Kahne you need to seriously man up.
