JEFF GORDON WINS! SCOTT RIGGS RACES HIS WAY INTO THE DAYTONA 500!
Since Tony Stewart "raced" his way into the field, he won't need his
previous locked in position (via speed). The next fastest driver on the
speed charts, Regan Smith, just got locked into the Daytona 500.

King, Kyle Haven't talked

Richard Petty said Tuesday that he hasn’t spoken to his son Kyle about
Kyle’s comments to a Florida newspaper blasting the new Richard Petty
Motorsports effort that resulted in the merger of Gillett Evernham
Motorsports and Petty Enterprises.

Last year, GEM ran a three-car team, while PE had two cars. This year,
RPM has four cars, using two car numbers from GEM, the 9 and 19, and
two from PE, the 43 and 44. The 44, which AJ Allmendinger drove to a
third-place finish in the Daytona 500, has an eight-race sponsorship
deal from Valvoline, but no sponsorship beyond that and may not race
the full season if additional funding isn’t secured. And it’s the use
of the No. 44 that has Kyle Petty furious.

Kyle was incensed that at Daytona, Allmendinger’s car carried his old
number and the paint scheme he had when he won the ARCA 200 at Daytona
in 1979, when he was just 18 years old. At the same time, Kyle was not
part of the GEM-PE negotiations and was not offered a spot with the new
organization. In fact, Kyle was told last June, when Richard sold
majority ownership of PE to investment banking firm Boston Ventures,
that Kyle would not be part of the team’s plans going forward.

“I was crushed. I was hurt and I'm not going to get over it for a while,
” Petty told the St. Petersburg Times.
“And that's a personal thing. That's me. That's not … anything to do
with anything else. That was my paint job and my car and my number and
my stuff from my first win. Not for Petty Enterprises or GEM or whoever
that is.”

The elder Petty acknowledged that his son was angry about how things
have transpired. “It kind of upset him because that’s where he
started,” Richard said of Kyle. “He started with the 44 car at Daytona
and was lucky enough to win the race. When we did our deal with Boston
Ventures, we never had a place for Kyle at Petty Enterprises.

He sort of got out of the loop. When he got out of the loop,
he’s been doing his own thing … he run the 24 (Rolex 24) and
doing some TV.”

In fact, Richard said, the two have not met face to face to talk things
out. “I’ve not seen him since Christmas,” Richard said. “He’s been so
busy, I’ve been so busy. He got snow-bound in Pittsburgh for a few days
one time. We just really never have gotten together. I’ve really not
talked to him. I spoke to him a couple of times on the phone. You can’t
get much done on the phone. He talked to his mother.”

And the seven-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion and seven-time Daytona
500 winner knows there are fences to mend with Kyle. “He was really
crushed that we didn’t include him in that part of it, and I can
understand that,” Richard said. “We were so busy trying to get our end
of the deal done and make it work with a new team that it fell through
the crack and I’m sorry that it did.”

Kenseth back to back. Amazing feat!

This race was a bit disappointing. Almost seemed like a real race the last 30, until Gordon used up his tires. Tough break for Gordon but he's running well so far this season.

Number of posts: 38 Registration date: 2008-01-18

I really feel bad for Kyle Petty. He is just one of the good guys,and I miss seeing him at the track. I just hope it doesn't hurt his relationship with his dad and they can work things out, I have a feeling that Mrs Petty(Kyle's mom and Richard's wife)will see to that.

I'm happy for Matt, I just don't like his owner and really wanted to see Jeff win last nite.

I disagree, Matt Kennseth didn't win a race last season, nor did Jeff Gordon. Plus if you look at current standings, Dale Jr is 35th, Jimmie Johnson is 27th,,,,Micheal Waltrip is 7th (OMG!)

Las Vegas should give us a clearer idea of who is going to be the car(s) to beat. The Fords are entering their best tracks (cookie cutters....) so we'll see.

BTW: I am on cloud nine...my guy Matt "the brat" is 2 for 2...and my other guy Mark "the kid" Martin has been a contender.
