We all knew this day was coming, but did anybody think it would come 5 races before the end of the season? I sure didn't. The decision came days after Kasey's brakes failed for the second time in three weeks. Kasey was furious. Who wouldn't be? He had two great practices and his brakes fail about 30 laps into the race. Havig no brakes caused him to wreck with Sam Hornish Jr. He brought the car to the garage. He was physically sick, saying her threw up. People are saying that he was just mad and not sick. It could be the reason but we don't really know. What made him even more mad was a RPM employee came up to him saying that he needed to start doing his part. How can he do his part when he is getting shitty equipment? I know he had only 5 races left until he and crew chief Kenny Francis make the more to Red Bull. Now, with Kasey making the move early, will Kenny do so as well? Another question is, what made RPM decide to release Kasey from his contract early? Did they finally realize that Kasey knew that they were screwing him over? Something like this is not going to quiet him. This absolutely disgusts me. I have been a fan of Kasey Kahne's for almost four years and NEVER in those years have I EVER been upset with his raceteam like I have been for the past few months. Ever since RPM heard that Kasey wasn't returning to the organization, they decided to give up on him. Since Richard PEtty joined them right before the 2009 season, they have a total of 2 wins, both of which have come from Kasey. They have a chase appearance, from Kasey. Can you see the pattern here? Kasey WAS the best driver at the organization and they just threw that away. Who is Kasey going to be passing the torch to at RPM? Can any of them live up what Kasey as done? He has 11 wins, 49 top-five and has led 3,011+ laps in his career. None of them have come close. Elliott has three wins (none with the organization), AJ and Paul have none. Kasey has pulled the wagon for the organization since 2006, where he won 6 races and finished 8th in the chase. Richard Petty Motorsports, in my opinion, is one of the WORST teams in NASCAR. I know it's mean to say, but it's true. They all have their heads up their asses. There is NO team out there that would screw over a driver that wasn't renewing their contract with the team. You can say everything that went wrong with Kasey's cars this season was an accident, but you tell me why Kasey had brake problems TWICE in THREE weeks? FISHY!!! After the whole 'Kasey released from RPM' thing, Kasey tweeted about his day: 'Just finished testing Sprint cars in South Carolina. Went real well. Sounds like I have lots to do tomorrow!' I wonder what he meant by the last part. Is it referring to Sprint Cars or Sprint Cup? There's only one way to find out. Kasey tell us! All of RPM's drivers are racing at Martinsville, BUT RPM MAY BE CLOSING UP SHOP! This is because they are losing funding from RFR (Roush Fenway Racing). Parts and cars were taken back to RFR this week. The Petty name is slowly fizzling out of NASCAR. Back to Kasey. Kasey WILL be racing this weekend and the rest of this season with Red Bull in the 83 car, which was previously going to seat Aric Almirola, but he is taking over Kasey's old ride. Next year, Kasey will be in the 82 car, BUT it won't be the 82. it's going to be the 84. Why? Kasey's number racing Sprint cars was 84. Now, you're probably asking 'what about Scott Speed?' I have one thing to say about that. I HAVE NO IDEA!!!
