Kahne eyes possible Indy 500 go

When former open wheel short track star Kasey Kahne won the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe's Motor Speedway the same day as the 90th Indianapolis 500, Kahne spoke at length about his desire to one day race in the 500. IRL driver Ed Carpenter is interested in talking to Kahne about that possibility.

"I talked to him after Indy, and I knew he made that comment," Carpenter told National Speed Sport News. "Since he made that comment, it's something I want to talk to him about to see how serious he really is. If he wants to do that, I'd try to make it happen. Anything I could do from my side of things, it would be good for the whole sport if a Kasey Kahne was able to run in the Indianapolis 500. I don't know how Dodge would feel about that because he is their big star, but I'm going to pose the question to him and see how serious he is."
