Kasey Kahne's transition, at least image-wise, to Hendrick Motorsports is off to a rough start.

He concluded the grocery-store diatribe by saying, "I don't feel like shopping anymore or eating."
In his apology Wednesday, Kahne said, "My comments were not directed at the mother's right to breastfeed. They were just a reaction to the location of that choice, and the fashion in which it was executed on that occasion. I respect the mother's right to feed her child whenever and wherever she pleases."
Kahne is set to take over the No. 5 Chevrolet with juggernaut Hendrick Motorsports in 2012, a ride previously manned by Mark Martin. At Hendrick, Kahne will be part of a four-man team that includes Jimmie Johnson , Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Kahne drove for Red Bull Racing in 2011 and finished the year strong, including a win at Phoenix International Raceway on Nov. 13. Red Bull shuttered its NASCAR program following the season.
