Over at the Klub Kahne board they are saying that Kasey said he was going to be added to the Gillette Young gun's next year.

Did he say it at the picnic?

I didn't hear that but I no likey. I like scruff!

Court! Knock some sense into the boy.

Although we would get more commercials...

It's true.

I tried talking to him, but you KNOW that he doesn't listen lmao He doesn't like to shave, but he likes the $$.. not like he needs more.. lmao

as a purveyor of fine beards, I'm sadden to hear this.

yes! More commercials and... no offense to the girls that love it but I can't stand too much facial hair. A little 5 o'clock shadow is fine but "Tony" Beards are a little too much.

But hey think of it this way... Jr still sports scruff every once and awhile. Maybe Kasey will too

Yes Kasey announced at the picnic that he will be a young gun next year, but he also said that he HATES to shave so its going to be a challenge for him :rolofl hehe go Kasey, the only Young Gun with scruff!!!

Me no likey! :no

I like the scruff......and I believe they only have to be shaven on raceday so, practice and quals are okay But don't quote me on that.

Yay for Kasey being a Young Gun. They needed some more life added to thoes commercials. I was waiting to hear this announcement. I knew it wouldn't take long for them to add him.

That's cool for Kasey!

I guess I texted everyone about it but never posted about it........

I was going "NO, NO, NO!" Thats one sponsorship we don't want him to have.......

but like Kat said, he said it was gonna be hard for him so hopefully we'll still get some scruff

I am not really surprised by this. When they added Kurt Busch, I was like "WHAT?" Kasey has more appeal as a Young Gun than Kurt does.

If they only have to be shaven for raceday, then maybe we will see more scruff.
Since Kasey hates to shave he will probably take advantage of not shaving more.


I know that Jr. had scruff after the California race, so maybe there is hope for some next year.

Yeah for more/different commercial.

I'm not surprised about it, either. I actually brought it up at home a couple months ago. The consensus was that they'd just added 2 new Young Guns, so why add more? Then I forgot about it. Hehe.

I'm okay with it, really, because I know it's good for Kasey and more exposure and all that. I just... like the scruff. Not beard scruff, just scruff. Like what we had at the fan club picnic. Mmmhmm...

Yay! and Boo!

Yay for more commercials with Kasey and sponsorship is always good.

Boo! I like the scruff.

I'm torn here, really I am

I like the scruff too, so I'm a little saddened -LOL

but YAY to more sponsorship and more commercials

Boo I like the scruff - this saddens me a little.

But like someone else said Juniors had scruff on more then one occasion, so hopefully we'll still get some scruff outta this.

Oh no, the world is ending. Kasey will be contractually obligated to shave.

for some reason that line had me rolling :rolofl

i couldnt care less what kasey looks like or if he has scruff or not so yay for sponsorship!

i wonder which one he's replacing though

Hopefully Newman just so they can quit with the cheesy Seinfield references.

Yeah. I don't really care.

Oh Helena. Don't act like you weren't all swoony over the scruff last week! I've got your number, woman. B)

:hearts

Okay, the scruff was nice I won't lie. But I honestly don't care one way or the other. :)

Ooh, do they still do the thing during the race where they check in with the Young Guns? Like see where they're all running or whatever?

That'll be fun.

I'm looking forward to the commercials. Yeah buddy.

Noo!! haha. I like his scruff! Although I love the young gun commercials so that will be fun to see. lol poor guy. Can't even shave without a thread about it... :lmao

Junior had MAJOR scruff during qualifying, so my bet is that they only have to be clean-shaven for the race itself.

And Kasey's usually clean-shaven for the race anyway. *shrugs*

:lmbo :lmbo :lmbo
That just cracked me up

I just noticed that too... he had like full grown beard going on there

Yay for Kasey being a Young Gun!

Aww YAY! Although I like Kasey with scruff!

YAH!!! Kasey is going to be a YOUNG GUN!!! :yay So excited!!! Congrats Kasey!!!

Well Kasey is sponsored by Gillette anyways they are just making him a young gun

my friend and I had been waiting for this lol

my theory is that they should be scruffy one week so the next they can shave and prove they use the product lmao.

and hopefully they do more commercials unlike this year where it was kinda half done and we have a great comm in my opinion, its funny but just one? nah need more. I liked all the ones from the first year

I'm curious to who he is replacing......

who is the oldest?

Jr?

and Jr was def scruffy on Wind Tunnel the other night

Ain't no way they're gonna get rid of Junior. I'm thinking Kurt.

I'm thinking the same thing

Kurt Busch's PR people need the Young Guns right now. Maybe Newman. Or Jimmie Johnson. The whole married thing might now appeal to the demographic Gillette wants to reach. Although, I guess same could be said of Kurt, because he's married, too, but like I said, his PR people need the Young Guns right now.

I could see maybe Newman, but he's the class clown of the Young Guns. Junior and Jimmie are just TOO successful at this point to let them go. Jamie and Carl they just added, so I don't see them getting the boot just yet. Which leaves Kurt. Or, I guess, Newman.

Strange things have happened, though. So I guess we shall see. :)

Do they really have to boot someone?
