Home Sweet Home


During a question and answer session with Kasey Kahne’s mom Tammy, at Charlotte, she said her son wanted a snowmobile for Christmas.


She spent some time with the Official NASCAR Members Club the day of the Bank of America 500. That's me pictured with her (a perk of the Club.)

No word on the snowmobile, but Kasey spent Christmas in Australia at a Sprint Car race, far, far away from home.

He thought it would be fun, doing something different for the holidays.

Sounds like John Grisham’s “Skipping Christmas,” which was made into the film “Christmas with the Kranks.”

In a break at Daytona this week, he told NASCAR.com "Once I was there, I realized I was wrong. It was not the right thing to do. From now on, if I go to Australia or anywhere else, I'll go maybe on the 26th [of December] instead of the 20th and stay at home for Christmas."

Dorothy said it best.

“There’s no place like home.”

Hey! 37 days to Daytona!

Glad to see H-D doing a blog on NASCAR and hope it grows. Nice posts so far. What are the benefits of the NASCAR Club and how do you become a member?
