CONCORD, N.C. -- This week, we asked Kasey Kahne five questions during a lightning round interview. Take a look at what the driver of the No. 5 Great Clips Chevrolet SS had to say about his favorite activities, family time and a heart-pounding bucket list idea.
1) What are some of your favorite outdoor activities?
"The lake, running, biking, working out -- anything outside, I enjoy. During race weekends, I like to bike, run and explore outside of the track."
2) What are two things you never leave the house without and why?
"Two things I don’t leave the house without are my phone and my backpack. My phone, because you have to have them these days. My backpack, because I have all of my racing stuff in it."
3) What is your favorite thing to do with your son, Tanner?
"Pretty much anything, whatever he is enjoying -- and he pretty much likes everything. Whether we go to the park or we are at the house sitting on the couch watching TV and he is playing with his toys, I love spending time with him. Basically, you can do anything with him and he has a smile on his face having fun."
4) What are the first things you do on race morning to prepare for the day?
"I have a morning drink and then I make a little bit of breakfast. Practice days sometimes we can get a bike ride or a run in prior to practice. Over the whole race weekend, we are always trying to do something rather than sitting in the bus."
5) What is one thing on your bucket list that you have always wanted to do?
"I have always thought about skydiving. I think that would really be a thrill, a lot of adrenaline. It would be unbelievable to see everything that there is to see when you are falling from the sky."
