Kasey Kahne's future has been settled. The present doesn't look too bad for him, either.
After finally finding out where he'll be driving next season, Kahne turned in an impressive performance for his current team Friday, with a lap of 187.183 mph to win the pole position for Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway.
Kahne isn't sure whether facing an unsettled future affected his driving in recent weeks, but he does know it's nice to know he'll be driving for Red Bull Racing next season.
''I don't know how much that's been on my mind,'' Kahne said. ''It's hard to say. I feel like I'm focused pretty good each week and really trying to do the right thing. It's something I definitely think about a lot. So I think that can help me some.''
It is Kahne's second pole of the season and the 18th of his career. Jimmie Johnson qualified second, followed by Clint Bowyer, Tony Stewart and Juan Pablo Montoya.
