GRAND FORKS, N.D. (December 18, 2018) – Former NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series star, Kasey Kahne, will be making his first-ever appearance at River Cities Speedway during the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series’ first visit of the season on June 7th.

The event is a part of an aggressive 50-plus winged Sprint Car race schedule for the Enumclaw, Washington native.

Kahne retired from NASCAR competition in 2018 after a 15-year career that yielded 18 Cup series wins.

Kasey Kahne Racing (KKR) drivers have claimed three World of Outlaws wins at the Bullring. Joey Saldana visited victory lane in the series’ first appearance in 2007 and again in 2010. Most recently, Daryn Pittman scored a River Cities Speedway win for KKR in 2014.

Full-time World of Outlaws driver for KKR, Brad Sweet, will return to the Outlaws tour again in 2019 in his NAPA Auto Parts No. 49 entry. Sweet finished second in the standings in 2018.
