Kasey Kahne's 2004 Rookie season could have been the greatest if it wasn't the unluckiest. (Thank you guys for 3 wonderful years on youtube!)

Kasey Kahne was the kinda guy that could win six races and finish below the Top 20 in points in the first half of his NASCAR career.

Let’s be honest it wasn’t just his rookie year. His entire career he was so damn unlucky.

This is probably the closest you'll get to a complete "Checkers or Wreckers" season

He isn't just the unluckiest rookie. He's probably the unluckiest driver. His final season was cut short due to health issues. He never seemed to catch a break and he wasn't in consistent equipment until he joined Hendrick.

That Mopar paint scheme is still one of my favorite schemes of all time.

Imagine if Kasey won the last cup race at Rockingham

Before there was a Chase Elliott of 2016, there was a Kasey Kahne of 2004.

As I transitioned from being a lifelong Bill Elliott fan to Kahne in the 9, this 2004 season was one of the most exciting and frustrating all at once. I remember every moment and you covered them perfectly. When Chase's runner-up streak haunted him I started think that 9 was cursed for sure. Made this 2020 championship such a vindicating experience personally.

Kasey Kahne at the end of 2004: All I do is finished 2nd.

Kasey Kahne is a perfect example of a guy who should have had way more wins than what he actually had. It’s a shame things didn’t work out well during his last couple years at Hendrick too. Overall he had good career and won a lot of races, but he definitely had the talent to do even greater things. It just didn’t work out.

Hell of a driver, I feel like he never really had consistently good equipment under him. It was either really good or really bad. He was fairly consistent at Hendrick, but let's face it, the 5 team was not the same after Mark retired.

Kasey Khane is the most underrated driver. Shame what happened to him

He reminds me of Chase Elliott the first few years of his career. They both had great runs on a consistent basis, but they had issues, choked, or lost in close finishes

You know what was weird? When Kahne finally got his first win, it felt weird -- it really felt like it wasn't his first win for me as a viewer.

I dont think I can remember a single time where Kasey Kahne caused his own DNF, sure, maybe he wasn't the fastest driver towards the end of his career, but remember, he was also battling an illness for a while that forced him to retire. So you gotta really feel for the guy.
