Well, maybe not an actual beatdown...but he did make his blood pressure go up...lol.

If a security guard can't handle a little fella like Kasey Kahne, he better go into a new line of work...

NASCAR.COM - Kahne under investigation after☻incident at H'stead - Nov 17, 2007

methinks Kasey had his bimbette stalkers flash the guy and his poor old arteries couldn't handle the pressure of his brain being fried by images of... ah-hem.

so he had to make up a story like the mighty Kahne running roughshod over him.

[Robertdjr]

Well, if true, I guess that's one way to start building that Budweiser beer drinking image.

He'd be mighty lucky to have some of us 40+ women, although the youngster's don't do much for me. He's probably sick of the bimbette's wrecking his car all the time.

In a way, it's funny, yet in another way, it's pathetic. If his brother didn't have his credentials, what makes him better than anyone else? The guard was doing his job. I'd hate to be in the spot of telling this rich kid he can't come in with his brother, but the guard did the right thing, and was treated badly.

From what I've read on the matter (it's not lost on me that there may well be more to this story than has been reported), I find Kasey's actions deplorable. The implication is that his attitude was "I'm so famous and well known that your silly rules and regulations are beneath me. Go screw yourself!"

This seems to be similar to an incident which happened in D.C last year, involving Congressperson Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) and a Capitol security guard:
The Capitol Police incident
Main article: March 29, 2006 Capitol Hill Police Incident
On the morning of March 29, 2006, McKinney entered the Longworth House Office Building's southeast entrance and proceeded past the security checkpoint, walking around the metal detector. Members of Congress have identifying lapel pins and are not required to pass through metal detectors. The officers present failed to recognize McKinney as a member of Congress because she was not wearing the appropriate lapel pin. She proceeded westward down the ground floor hallway and about halfway down the hallway was grabbed by United States Capitol Police officer Paul McKenna, who states that he had been calling after her: "Ma'am, Ma'am!" Two days later, Officer McKenna filed a police report claiming that McKinney had struck "his chest with a closed fist."

In the midst of a media frenzy, McKinney made an apology on the floor of the House of Representatives on April 6, 2006, neither admitting to nor denying the charge, stating only that: "There should not have been any physical contact in this incident." Minutes before making the Congresswoman's apology, McKinney's security officer made contact with a TV correspondent outside of the U.S. Capitol.

Though not indicted for criminal charges or subjected to disciplinary action by the House, the president of the Fraternal Order of Police has advocated the filing of a civil suit by Officer McKenna

I think that if a Congressperson can be censured by her peers, then, at the least, Kasey owes the security guard a public apology and needs to be taken to the NA__AR trailer for a "Come-to-Jesus" meeting.
