Gordon, Kahne race Go-Karts for a cause

KNOXVILLE, Iowa -- This week, Jeff Gordon and Kasey Kahne joined fellow NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competitors Tony Stewart and Kyle Larson for a good cause.

At Slideways Karting Center, the foursome took part in the third annual Weld Racing Go-Kart Spectacular.

All proceeds benefited Kick-It, which partnered with the Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation in 2012 to accelerate a cure for children with cancer.

Gordon chronicled the event on Instagram -- and it appears Kahne came away the winner.
