Is Kasey Kahne Gay?

Sometime in mid-2008, there was a publication in a U.K based sports magazine, SportsPro which reported a rumour that Kasey Kahne is gay. One of the reasons for these insinuations was because of his handsome, boyish looks coupled with the fact that at the time, there were no openly gay drivers.

A closer look at Kasey’s antecedents and track record as regards partners, he dated Ashley Speegle in 2005 and was also involved with Kristy Labonte. He also dated Britney Hagy in 2006 then Ashley Miller before he met Samantha Sheets.
