MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- Kasey Kahne Racing announced Thursday the addition of Cody Darrah as the driver of the No. 91 Great Clips/Sage Fruit/ASE Mopar sprint car in the 2010 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series.
Darrah, 20, of Red Lion, Pa., served as a fill-in driver for KKR's No. 19 entry for the last three World of Outlaws races of the 2009 season.
Darrah, a member of the Pennsylvania Posse group of short track racers, comes from an accomplished racing family that includes his mother Kitty, a former local stock car winner. His uncle, Rick Eckert, a leading driver on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, is a former Pennsylvania dirt track legend. Darrah cut his own teeth aboard microsprints at age 14 and then started racing 410 winged sprint cars at age 16 in the competitive racing-rich market of Central Pennsylvania at tracks such as Williams Grove and Lincoln speedways.
