Ah well, Elliot ran off the tires it seems, no bells in North Georgia this evening sadly it seems

Well done on the burnout Larson, almost half the lap burnout Kulwicki style as well, think the PJ traction compound stopped a full lap.

Kyle Larson absolutely dominated this year and deserves to be champ. Good for him!

That's a shame but it's Elliott with two Ts

Tell Samsung, the Koreans don't give to Ts about it

Absolutely. The lad was dominant all year and on pretty much every type of track. Congrats!

One thing I do wonder... is old Smoke $%€@ed with Ford for not letting him sign Kyle or did he just shrug his shoulders and get on with it. I reckon the latter. Ford's miss, Chevy's hit. I did see a video of Smoke watching a race on TV recently and he had a diecast of the 5 on the stand. Want one of those myself but been struggling to get one.

While NASCAR has been self destructive of late, people like Larson keep it worth following. No wonder Smoke is very interested in him, they would make a great combo. But there are other factors to consider. Hope something happens

Richard Petty has sold up shop to GMS says AutoWeek.

No detail other than both charters were in the deal. My memory fails me as to who has been using the second Petty charter - but suggestion is GMS will be running two chartered cars.

Another one of the "big" names going saddens me. Time moves on I guess and I can always watch footage of old races to see my heroes Petty, Waltrip, Labonte and Earnhardt.

He was leasing it to RWR for 2021. Yeah, the team has 2 signed drivers, Erik Jones (RPM) in the 43 and Ty Dillon(GMS) in the 96. The 96 did not have a charter before the sale


Remember though this was NOT Petty Enterprises but rather RPM of which The King was only 15% shareholder and the rest of the family was not involved. it removes the name but everything else was gone years ago

Some money being spent on Wilkesboro and Rockingham...

Dare we dream of Cup racing?

Petty name continues, I get the feeling it literally will be the name and nothing more. Ty Dillon's ride has become the 42. Hopefully the Jones boy will get a ride worthy of his talent if GMS has enough $$$ and talent. He impressed me a lot that year he was teammates with Truex.
