Kasey Kahne Special to ESPN.com:
My cousin and spotter Kole Kahne is getting married back home in Enumclaw, Wash., so I'm spending my off weekend doing the whole wedding thing.
I'm glad it's him and not me. I'm not looking to get married anytime soon, and I hope nobody is planning to set me up like always seems to happen at weddings.
My parents and friends know better than to do that, I think.
I'm not even taking a date, just like I didn't take a date to the Nextel Cup banquet in New York City at the end of last season. Once you take somebody to a banquet or something, everybody thinks you have a girlfriend and it gets written up in the magazines.
I don't have a girlfriend right now and am not looking for one. So when I take somebody to something like this, you'll know it's because I have a serious relationship ...
I've been to some great bachelor parties the last five years. A lot of my friends already are married. Coming from a small town, people tend to get married and have kids at an earlier age.
As I said, I'm a ways from that.
Mainly, I'm looking forward to some good snowmobiling and good dinners at home. My mom's cooking one night and my dad always cooks, too, so I'm pretty sure there'll be plenty to eat.
It'll be nice to be just Kasey Kahne and not Kasey Kahne the race car driver for a change. My friends and family treat me normal, and we do the normal stuff we've always done in the past.
