Replacing a half piece of drywall
I need to replace the drywall in my kitchen. The only part of the wall that is damaged is from the red line down to the floor. Is there a way to replace the drywall from the red line down to the floor or do I have to replace it all the way from floor to ceiling?

How did it get blown out like that?
A whole lot easier to if of you remove that chair rail and make the cut in the middle of it, then there's no seam in that area to deal with.
Both those door casing are going to need to come off to have access to the drywall and the seam on the left.

If I remember correctly the wall got hit by a car on the other side 
As noted you can replace as little or as much drywall is needed. Have you opened up the wall to see how many studs needs to be replaced? I'd work on getting the framing right before I decided how much/little drywall to replace.

Based on Mark's info, you may be replacing floor to ceiling drywall anyway due to the damage to the structure you need to analyze as well.

I'm sure you'll have to replace a stud or two. It's really too early to determine if it's best to patch or replace the drywall on the house side. Once you get into repairing the framing you'll be able to tell what will work best.
