Kahne to start eighth at Infineon

Kasey Kahne was the highest qualifying Dodge in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Sonoma. He will start the race eighth.
He said his car was way to loose in qualifying and had some trouble turning right during practice. It affected his qualifying run.
"I eased in the throttle too much, just like in practice," said Kahne, driver of the No. 9 Dodge for Evernham Motorsports. "It was a good lap. The car handles good. We’ve just got to figure out how to get the back better and we haven’t been able to do that yet. The track is cooler and we ran about what we ran in practice, so we really lost a little bit I guess. I wish we could have gained some. We just need to tighten the car up a little bit and have a good race on Sunday. Everything feels good about the car. We just need to keep working on it and making it better.”
