Consistent run-ins with Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth in 2013 prompted Kahne to actually take to Twitter last August after Watkins Glen to say that he was "headed to Joe Gibbs Racing to talk to whoever will come out front." Things eventually died down, even to the point of Kahne and Busch burying the hatchet and combining for a friendly Super Bowl wager that pitted the Hendrick Motorsports driver's home state Seattle Seahawks against Busch's NFL loyalty to the Denver Broncos. So when the pair got together with 18 laps to go in Sunday's Pocono 400 at Pocono Raceway, relegating the struggling No. 5 car to a 42nd-place finish while the No. 18 rode to a 12th-place result, it'd be easy to joke that Busch was still a little bitter about having to wear a Seahawks jersey during Speedweeks in February.
