IS THIS TRUE OR FALSE
Stock Car Racing History
Well, Patty. All the BIG money aside. Petty was the BIG Fish for a long time. They had the best of everything. Factory support including the first HEMI racing engine and they secured one of if not the first corporate sponsors with STP.So here we are.This was bound to happenWhen Corporate America got a hook in it was a done deal. Eventhough I dislike Nascar's business model I am not sure that Fryin Brian is to blame.This is a performance based business as all are and when Petty Enterprises shuddered it happened because of subpar or mediocre results. Petty tried to address it with Boston Ventures and then Gillett neither of whom are racers so to speak.The time could be near that there will no longer be a 43 on track. This number should be retired from competition befitting it's legacy in racing.
