Hendrick Motorsports announced that it has signed driver Kasey Kahne to a three-year contract extension, keeping him in the fold through 2018.
The news comes one day after a major shakeup with Hendrick's No. 5 Chevrolet team in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, with Keith Rodden accepting a crew chief role and Kenny Francis, atop Kahne's pit box since the 2005 season finale, shifting to the position of vehicle technical director.
Kahne, an 11-year veteran and 17-time winner in NASCAR's Sprint Cup, and Francis joined the Hendrick organization in 2012.
In addition, Kahne will have LiftMaster on board as a primary sponsor for three races in the 2015 Sprint Cup season as well as an associate sponsor for the rest of the races.
The agreement will be for the next three seasons (2015 to 2017). LiftMaster will be the primary sponsor for Kahne on May 24 (Charlotte), July 11 (Kentucky) and October 18 (Kansas).
