Wow, that does just suck. It's a shame, everyone talks about Nascar losing it's tradition, and here's another step away from tradition. These huge corporations merging with racing teams is killing everything we grew up with.
Petty racing died when they hired John Andretti. It was almost dead, then Bobby Labonte went on a three year vacation. Now that he's been awakened and relieved from his nightmare, looks like Petty is now off life support and is just about finished.
