Leavine Family Racing owner Bob Leavine said he just found out Wednesday that Kasey Kahne would not return to full-time racing in 2019. Leavine holds no ill will against Kahne, who had recently sent the proposed contract back with changes he wanted made. Leavine said he would not consider replacing Kahne prior to the end of the season to get a jump on next year if his 2019 driver is available. Leavine: "We don't know what we're doing. ... I haven't worried about it this weekend. It's more concentrating on finishing the last races for him because to me that's important."
