@kaseykahne is holding a teleconference at this moment. He’s been experiencing some sort of rapid dehydration over the last year that has put his body in dangerous situations despite being in great shape. Until that gets addressed/figured out w/docs, may not be in the car.

Kahne just wrapped up a very detailed call about his condition. It’s been quite extreme at times; more serious than most people probably realized. Will have a post up ASAP with his comments.
From Bob Pockrass:
Kasey Kahne, out for the Brickyard 400, says since last year, he is getting worse by end of races with his hydration. He said during Darlington was the worst he has been and lingered all week. He said he was hydrated for four days prior to the race. He said his heart rate was high and he had trouble seeing for final 100 laps of Darlington and couldn't drink over last half of race. He said he vomited several times after the race.
