Good news for Kahne: Season's almost over

The end of the season can’t come fast enough for Kasey Kahne, who got into an accident with Tony Raines midway through the race.
“That there was driver error,” Kahne said. “We’ve only got one week left, so I’m happy about that. I drove like an idiot all day and finally wrecked. We were slow. We were way off the pace.”
Kahne was evaluated and released from the infield medical care center.
Raines’ car is owned by Arizona Diamondbacks executives Jeff Moorad, the general partner and CEO, and Tom Garfinkel, executive vice president & chief operating officer. It featured the Diamondbacks’ National League West championship logo on the wheel well.
