Who sponsors Kasey Kahne in the Nascar Cup Series?

These change from year to year, month to month, even week to week, and on an occasion a one time shot, yes you do have your stalwart sponsors such as, DuPont, Budweiser, Lowe's, Home Depot, Miller Lite, etc., but there companies who make several brands of things and change that brand from time to time, but still sponsor the same car(s), so to answer with any sort of exactitude it is impossible. Some cars have more then one major sponsor, so figure 50 cars, the front runners get over 20 million a year from the major sponsor, now consider the small decals on the fenders, these sponsors pay if the car wins and/or places. You can go in the pits and record every sponsor including small ones, next week it will change, a car had 12 altogether last week, may have 18 this week. "IMPOSSIBLE"
