04/27/08 - CARPENTIER GRABS HARD FOUGHT EIGHTH-PLACE FINISH AT TALLADEGA  
TALLADEGA, Ala. - Patrick Carpentier may be a rookie in the Nationwide Series this year, but his statistics certainly don’t show it. Carpentier has three starts this season and after another remarkable finish, this time at Talladega, the rookie earned his third top-10 finish of the year in the Lipton Dodge. It also was the second week in a row that he earned Raybestos Rookie of the Race honors. Read more...
 
04/07/08 - KAHNE FINISHES 21ST IN HELLMANN’S DODGE  
FORT WORTH, Texas – Rain was once again a factor in NASCAR Nationwide Series racing this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway when qualifying was rained out on Thursday evening.

That put the No. 9 Hellman’s Dodge starting 11th based off Owner Points. That’s not a bad start, but when Kasey Kahne slapped the outside wall with the primary car during the one pre-qualifying practice session, the team was forced to pull out the back-up car. Read more...

03/17/08 - KAHNE AND RAGU DODGE TEAM EARN THIRD-STRAIGHT TOP-10  

BRISTOL, Tenn. – It was a race against time. NASCAR officials knew that heavy rains were on their way to the half-mile bullring known as Bristol Motor Speedway. They hoped they would be able to complete at least 150 of the scheduled 300 laps to make it an official race.

Rain had washed out qualifying and the field was set by 2007 Owner’s Points. This left Kahne and the No. 9 Ragu Dodge to start in the seventh spot. Read more...

 
03/14/08 - Kahne hopes to make it two in a row at Bristol  
BRISTOL, TN – For NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Kasey Kahne this is a weekend he has looked forward to all year long. Kahne will bring his No. 9 Ragu Dodge Charger to Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend looking to make it two consecutive NASCAR Nationwide Series wins at the historic high-banked half mile track. Last August, Kahne worked the high line to lead 10 of the race’s 300 laps on the newly resurfaced track en route to his first Bristol victory. Read more...
 
03/10/08 - HELLMANN’S Pit Crew helps Kahne score top-10 finish in Atlanta  
ATLANTA, Ga. - Neither rain nor would snow stop the Nationwide Series from running the Nicorette 300 at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend. With rain washing out practice on Friday and snow putting a stop on qualifying early Saturday morning, the series still managed to complete the 195 lap event under frigid and windy conditions.

Kasey Kahne and the No. 9 Hellmann’s Dodge Charger put on an impressive display. The team went a lap down about midway through the race only to battle back and receive the lucky dog award, placing them on the lead lap. That momentum shift started what would bring a strong ninth place finish. Read more...

 
03/03/08 - Carpentier makes the most of his opportunity  
LAS VEGAS, NV – While Patrick Carpentier wasn’t expecting double duty last weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway he was given a chance to drive the No. 9 Wisk Dodge for the first time and the Las Vegas resident made the most of his chances Saturday afternoon. Kasey Kahne was scheduled to drive the car but stepped out of the car due to a lingering sinus infection.

Despite not getting one lap of practice in the car before qualifying, Carpentier made his debut performance in the Ultimate Chargers program a memorable one. Carpentier qualified the No. 9 Wisk Dodge 29th but used patience in the 200 lap event to move up through the field to finish eighth. The top-10 finish was the first for the Ultimate Chargers Dodge of the season for Gillett Evernham Motorsports. Read more...
