Re-purposed Kyle Petty show car - maybe a third life?


Stock Car Racing History

@mazdaracer153 Are you on Twitter? If so, we need to get Gary Nelson re-engaged if possible. I'm not sure how he did it, but he picked out THAT car to take to SABCO. I'm guessing he told Felix Sabates about it so Felix and Rick Hendrick could work out a sale. I'm not enough of a Hendrick Motorsports historian to know who else may have been involved in the building of it. I'd love to see some photos of the car in its current "barn" state!

Racing History Minute-Riverside 500 at Riverside Raceway


Stock Car Racing History

I'm guessing the Petty crew was glad to put that Riverside race in their rear view window. Richard fell out with his AT problem, and Paschal destroyed his #41 Plymouth. A few days earlier during practice on January 15, both cars had issues even before qualifying. The future King lost a wheel and sailed through two sections of guardrail. Paschal clipped the discarded wheel and did some damage to his Plymouth. Who knows, that hit may have led to his brake failure on Sunday.
