Yet another new chapter for Petty Racing?
Current NASCAR
Guys, I was a Petty fan too, growing up; I was convinced the sun rose and set over Level Cross. I remember how devastating it was in '69 when Richard switched to Ford, and how a bad situation became even worse when Richard won the first race of the year at Riverside. See, it wasPlymouth by Petty.Ford by Petty just didn't get it. Besides, the insiders were all convinced that Riverside car was actually one from Holman-Moody, supplied for the sole purpose of making the Petty/Ford coming-out party as successful as possible. True or not, it did soften the blow.
But that was a long time ago, the entire world has changed and, somehow, perhaps, inexplicably, the top-of-the-mountain Petty's got left in the shuffle. The NASCAR/monopoly board game, is now the sole possession of HMS. Sure every now and then, somebody else wins..........but all the big stuff: drivers, races, sponsors, championships, is won by Mr. H. Sadly, it won't make any difference where RPM winds up, Toyota, GM, Ford, even if Dodge returns, it won't change the status-quo. It is, what it is.
