Kasey Kahne comments on engine change and Toyota

DID YOUR TEAM FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS WITH YOUR ENGINE? "They're saying it was a piston and when NASCAR gives them the OK to take the engine apart and go through it, (we can) kind of see why it happened. Our engine has been really reliable, so I was a little bit surprised."

WAS THAT ONE OF THE NEW R6 ENGINES? "Yes."

DID YOU PUT IN ANPOTHER DODGE R6 ENGINE? "Yeah, another R6 and that's our back-up (engine)."

DO THEY EAT UP MORE GAS THAN THE R5? "No. Our R6's fuel mileage is good. We've been able to get pretty good fuel mileage and not kill the power doing that. Early on, we weren't able to do that, but since we've had some time to work with it, it's actually been getting pretty good(fuel mileage)."

ARE YOU ABLE TO PULL ANY INFORMATION FROM THE 44 OR 43? "We don't use much from them. Everybody uses stuff from us."

WHAT ABOUT THE REPORT THAT YOU HAD A PHOTO SHOOT WITH TOYOTA? "I don't know what the deal is with that. I did my Budweiser photo shoot and obviously you guys know that it was a Toyota. Why? I don't know why it was. I'm Dodge, man. I think I'll be Dodge next year, truthfully. The Gillett's put a car in there to do the photo shoot and I took my pictures and hopefully I don't have to take my pictures again." Dodge Motorsports PR
