Kasey Kahne is coming to town

Ollie's Bargain Outlet Store seems to be tied to NASCAR. Elliot Sadler, Kevin Harvick and Kasey Kahne are all scheduled at these store openings around the country now through the end of the year, according to jayski.com. Store openings are from New York to Pennsylvania to Tennessee and North Carolina.

And West Virginia.

Kasey will be at the Barboursville, WV, Ollie's on June 1 to meet and greet. Actually, jayski.com says it's supposed to be Kevin Harvick, but the KHI website doesn't have this. Kasey's site, however, does.

Now, NASCAR fans know how this works. Show up at the appointed time, in this case, 7:30 a.m., to receive one of 250 available tickets for the autograph session at 10 a.m., at the store's grand opening in the former Circuit City building at the Huntington Mall.

The release from Ollie's says you can have 1 item autographed and have your photo taken with Kasey.

On another Kasey Kahne note, this weekend his and Brian Vickers' cars will have a special paint scheme for the Coke 600. Hundreds of fan submitted photos will be on the two Red Bull cars Sunday, including mine.

On the roof of the #4 Red Bull car will be a photo taken at then-Lowe's Motor Speedway two years ago of me and friends Roberta Hunter, Laura Hepner, both of California, and Terry Hollow of Arizona. Woo-Hoo!

Now, let's hope the car survives and doesn't go sliding along the track on its roof. Ouch.
