No. 5 Chevrolet
Hendrick Motorsports

With the combination of Kasey’s natural driving talent and marketability he has been a star since his arrival into the world of NASCAR.  Coming up through the open wheel sprint car ranks in Washington and the Midwest, Kasey honed his car control and driving abilities while collecting accolades such as the 2000 USAC National Midget Championship.  Success transferred over to stock cars as Kasey took the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year in 2004 and picked up his first win the following season.  Kasey’s star power is as high as ever after winning the NASCAR Sprint All Star Race in 2008 and driving for brands like Budweiser and Red Bull, two of the motorsport’s biggest sponsors.  Kasey has won at every type of track and remains one of the most popular drivers with NASCAR fans and sponsors.  His jump in 2012 to drive the No. 5 Chevrolet car for perennial power Hendrick Motorsports at the peak of his career will certainly add to Kasey’s career win totals and greatly improve his chances to compete for the championship each and every season.
