Parrott and Labonte test at Kentucky: Crew chief Todd Parrott and driver Bobby Labonte ushered in a new era for the storied Petty Enterprises No. 43 NEXTEL Cup Series car with a test at Kentucky Speedway today. Labonte, the 2000 series champion who finished 24th in the 2005 standings with Joe Gibbs Racing, and Parrott, who helped Dale Jarrett win the 1999 series title with Robert Yates Racing, will join new Exec. VP of Operations Robbie Loomis, who guided Jeff Gordon to 23 wins and the 2001 championship with Hendrick Motorsports, in an attempt to rejuvenate a Petty program that hasn't scored a series race win since Loomis last worked there in 1999. Temperatures in the low to mid 20s didn't curb the enthusiasm both crew chief and driver expressed for their new project during their first test together. The new team agreed that the focus of the one-day test was to begin to establish solid team communications. "It's different," Labonte said. "I was kind of jittery at first because it's been 11 years since I've had anything like this go on. It's a little too cold here for me, but, so far, so good. "I'm just real excited to work with Todd and all these guys. Hopefully, I understand Todd and when I talk, he can understand the language I'm talking. For us, today is about getting a feel for everybody and everybody getting a feel for Todd. He's the main character here that everyone will have to look up to. When I'm on the racetrack, they've got to know what to do next and he's the guy leading them." Parrott was encouraged by his team's early results. "Not to say that we're not looking for great success right off the bat, but I'm throwing things at him, he's feeling it and that's good. Just from some things he's said this morning, I think it's going to be a great year." Both veterans also spoke about the reasons behind their respective moves to Petty Enterprises. "I just thought that I needed something different at Gibbs," Labonte said. "Those people treated me great and I had a great time there, but I felt like a change was needed. The Petty operation is very similar in that the people are real sincere. I felt like I could fit in here, kind of like when I went to Gibbs. I had some other opportunities, and they were awesome, but this is the No. 43. When I put my heart to it in terms of my family and myself, I felt like this was the place I'd like to be. "Robbie was the first domino that fell into place here and that attracted me because I know his leadership will be a plus. Then, we were able to get Todd. What a no-brainer that was. I guess it goes to show you that the Pettys weren't happy with just sitting there after the way they've run the past couple years." (Kentucky Speedway PR)

Parrott named Bobby Labonte's Crew Chief: Nextel Cup Series champion Todd Parrott has been named crew chief for the #43 Cheerios/Betty Crocker Dodge team and driver Bobby Labonte. Robbie Loomis, Executive Vice President of Operations and a NASCAR Nextel Cup Series champion himself, made the announcement. "While few can match him in knowledge and strategy, no one can match Todd Parrott when it comes to the desire to win," Loomis said. "Working together with Paul Andrews (crew chief for Kyle Petty's #45 Dodge and a former NASCAR Nextel Cup Series champion) and the talent we have here, we feel we have the ingredients to return Petty Enterprises to victory lane." Greg Steadman, who had been serving as crew chief for the #43, has been named Competition Director for Petty Enterprises and is involved with both race teams. "I can't begin to tell you how excited I am to be a part of Petty Enterprises," Parrott said. "I've been a fan of Richard Petty since I could talk, and one of the most exciting times of my life is when my dad (Buddy Parrott) was crew chief for Richard. When I see the people who are coming into the organization and how hard everyone is working to get Petty Enterprises back to the top, I can't help but be excited to be a part of that," Parrott continued. "Robbie Loomis, Bobby Labonte . . . these guys are coming here for one reason, and that's to win." Parrott, 41, is a native of Charlotte, N.C. Winner of the 1999 NASCAR Nextel Cup championship with driver Dale Jarrett, Parrott begins his 12th year as a leader of NASCAR race teams in 2006. He grew up in the sport and began working on race cars when just 14 years old, developing into one of the top mechanical and strategy-minded names in motorsports. (Williams Company PR)

Petty to leaves NSL: Richard Petty Driving Experience announced that it has withdrawn its support of the National SprintCar League effective immediately. "We formed this series with the intention of rebuilding and growing winged sprint car racing," said Kyle Petty. "We had a clear vision about how to undertake this. Unfortunately, our vision for the future of sprint car racing was not shared by all of the key stakeholders in the sport. We believe that a prolonged battle over control of the sport is not in the best interest of anyone involved. Hopefully, by stepping aside at this point, there is time for a common vision to emerge. We still believe that sprint car racing can thrive in the United States and we hope that the tracks, drivers, teams and sanctioning bodies will put their individual interests aside and work towards some common ground to unify this great motor sports platform. We appreciate everyone who supported us in this endeavor." (Williams Company PR)

Kyle Petty Nominated SI Sportsman Of Year: Kyle Petty has become the first stock car driver nominated for one of the most prestigious honors in athletics. The NASCAR Nextel Cup Series driver is up for Sports Illustrated’s “Sportsman Of The Year” honor, which the national magazine has awarded since miler Roger Bannister won the first in 1955. Others such as the Boston Red Sox, Tiger Woods, Arthur Ashe, Jack Nicklaus, Muhammad Ali and Pete Rozelle have won it. Others nominated this year include cyclist Lance Armstrong, NBA star Reggie Miller, and World Series star Scott Posednik, among others. Writer Lars Anderson, in making his argument in nominating Petty, noted mostly his and wife Pattie’s leadership of the Victory Junction Gang Camp. “Put simply,” Anderson wrote, “he’s got the biggest heart in American sports today. “Kyle Petty as Sportsman of the Year? Take a look at those beaming kids and tell me he’s not.” The winner will be announced next month. (Williams Co., Of America, Inc.)

Ellen takes a ride in Petty driving experience: Talk Show Host Ellen DeGeneres took to the speedway in southern California to quell her need for speed and to see what NASCAR is all about. DeGeneres, host of the popular daytime TV talk show, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", was a recent guest of Richard Petty Driving Experience at California Speedway and had the opportunity to ride in and drive an actual NASCAR style stock car. "It was thrilling! I haven't been on a roller-coaster or anything like this for years," said DeGeneres. "So with this kind of excitement, I was like a kid in there. I think we have the traffic problem in Los Angeles solved, though. I had clear sailing all day and only saw one other car out there the whole time." Her visit to the speedway came as a surprise to the other guests there on Friday. Other participants were told of an impending guest but voted to have it kept a secret until the last second. "We were really excited to see her come through the door," said Brent Swain, a first-timer from Coronado, CA. "She had us cracking up the whole time and made the day truly memorable. It's not everyday you get to live out your own dream and do it alongside a celebrity like Ellen." "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" is nationally syndicated throughout the country and the episode featuring Ellen at Richard Petty Driving Experience will air on Monday, November 14, 2006.

B. Labonte to Petty's Officially: Bobby Labonte, 2000 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series champion, will drive the #43 Cheerios/Betty Crocker Dodge beginning with the 2006 season, it was announced this morning by Robbie Loomis, Executive Vice President of Operations, Petty Enterprises. Labonte, 41, joins Petty Enterprises from Joe Gibbs Racing where he won 21 Cup races and the 2000 NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship during his 10-year stretch with the team. He will be a teammate to Kyle Petty, and will also work first-hand with Loomis, who is rejoining the organization after a successful championship-winning stint at Hendrick Motorsports. "Winning in our sport is a learned process," said Loomis. "The heritage of Petty Enterprises, coupled with a talented, successful driver like Bobby Labonte, will lead to some great things. There's a lot of work to be done, but we have some tremendous tools here and we're excited about the future." "We're bringing some serious firepower to the #43 Cheerios Dodge next year and I am excited about having Bobby Labonte as a teammate," Kyle Petty said. "Bobby knows how to win races and how to win championships, as does Robbie Loomis." "I'm really pleased to be part of Petty Enterprises," Labonte said. "When I first came into this sport, my heroes were Terry Labonte and Richard Petty. To have the opportunity to drive Richard Petty's #43 car is something I could not have imagined growing up. The #43 knows its way to victory lane, and we'll get it back there. I am looking forward to working with Robbie, Kyle, The King and the entire Petty team. And, I'm excited about working with households names like Cheerios and Betty Crocker, along with the entire General Mills team. I had a great run at Joe Gibbs Racing, and have the utmost respect for that organization and appreciate all they did for me. I am fortunate to be going to another high quality organization in Petty Enterprises," Labonte said. "Just like Cheerios and Betty Crocker, Bobby Labonte is committed to winning, to family and to community," added General Mills Vice President Laurie Greeno. "We at General Mills are thrilled to have Bobby join the #43 team." (Williams Company)

B. Labonte to 43: On Friday, November 10th at Phoenix International Raceway, Petty Enterprises will announce that Nextel Cup champion, Bobby Labonte, will drive the #43 Cheerios / Betty Crocker Dodge in 2006. Labonte won the NEXTEL Cup championship in 2000 driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, has 21 career NEXTEL Cup victories and claimed the NASCAR Busch Series Championship in 1991. Labonte started racing quarter midgets at the age of five in his hometown of Corpus Christi, TX. His brother is NASCAR champion Terry Labonte.

Labonte to Petty #43? Bobby Labonte apparently is on the short list of "proven winners" NASCAR legend Richard Petty plans to consider as driver of the famed No. 43 beginning in 2006. Labonte, the 2000 Nextel Cup champion, has a contract with Joe Gibbs Racing that runs through 2008. But a source said Friday that Labonte had informed some crewmen two weeks ago that he would not be returning to the No. 18 Chevrolet in 2006. Labonte has driven for Gibbs' organization since 1995, scoring all 21 of his Cup victories with the team owned by the coach of the NFL's Washington Redskins. But Labonte, 41, is winless since November 2003 -- a span of 68 races heading into Sunday's Bass Pro Shops MBNA 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He qualified 38th in the 43-car field Friday. Labonte is 24th in points and has failed to qualify for the first two editions of the Chase for the Nextel Cup. A team spokesman said Labonte has been "noncommittal" about his plans for next season. The source added that though Labonte respects Gibbs and his organization, he wants a change of scenery. (Star-Telegram)

Green looks to leave Petty: Petty Enterprises CEO Kyle Petty confirmed Jeff Green likely will leave the team's famous No. 43 Dodge to replace Mike Bliss in the No. 0 Chevrolet in 2006. Petty said the team has "two-thirds" of the 2006 sponsorship needed for his No. 45 Dodge, which is losing Georgia Pacific, and is extremely confident of landing the funding for the car. (Times-Dispatch)

Loomis to take couple weeks off before joining Petty Enterprise, credit Richard: Robbie Loomis, Jeff Gordon's former crew chief, will take two weeks off after the Nextel Cup season before moving to Petty Enterprises to become vice president of race operations. Loomis, who has been Gordon's crew chief since the middle of the 2000 Winston Cup season, stepped down last month after Gordon did not qualify for the Chase for the Nextel Cup championship. He is staying on as a consultant for Gordon and car owner Rick Hendrick until the season ends. 'Right now, I'm able to take a step back and look at things a little differently, and that's really good,' Loomis said Friday after a practice session for Sunday's race at Kansas Speedway. 'The on-track stuff I'm concentrating on is all with the Hendrick team, but I can think a little bit about the big-picture stuff with the Pettys.' At a sponsor's event Wednesday in Overland Park, Kan., Kyle Petty said he was happy to let Loomis set the timetable for the switch - and credited his father with making it happen. 'Kyle Petty didn't steal Robbie back from Jeff,' he said. 'Richard Petty stole Robbie back from Jeff.' (Ludington Daily News)

Stewart and Pettys among those starting Sprint Car League: Sprint car racing's biggest names have split into two separate series for 2006, drivers confirmed Wednesday. The World of Outlaws, owned by DIRT Motorsports, will retain five of its 18 full-time drivers — Altoona's Terry McCarl, Craig Dollansky, Brooke Tatnell, Daryn Pittman and Donny Schatz — and plans to add more for 2006. "I'm a loyal person," said McCarl, who stands 11th in Outlaws points this season. "This group didn't offer any reason to leave them." Danny Lasoski, who drives for Tony Stewart Motorsports, represents one of 13 current Outlaws teams who have signed with the National Sprintcar League for the 2006 season. The group is backed by Petty Enterprises and has lured drivers such as Steve and Kraig Kinser, Jason Meyers and Tim Shaffer. Lasoski's concerns with DIRT included the lack of live television - Outlaws events air on the Outdoor Channel on a tape-delayed basis. He expects the Petty organization to rectify that situation, although no TV package is set yet. He added that NASCAR names such as Stewart, Kasey Kahne, the Pettys and Dave Blaney would field cars in the National Sprintcar League next season. (Des Monies Register)

Petty sits out qualifying and practice: Still fighting feelings of grief from his son's death at New Hampshire International Speedway more than five years ago, Kyle Petty will skip Friday's practice sessions and Saturday's qualifying at the track. Petty still plans to race on Sunday. "It's a funny thing, because I thought the longer I went, the easier it would get," Petty said in a telephone interview. "The truth is, the longer it goes, the harder it gets." Adam Petty was killed in an accident during a practice session at New Hampshire International Speedway in May 2000. NASCAR officials determined that he died of a neck injury, the same injury that would kill Dale Earnhardt nine months later. Petty has raced at New Hampshire several times since the accident, but it hasn't made him any more at ease there. He said the most recent race weekend at New Hampshire, in July, was particularly tough. (USA Today)

Loomis to join Petty Enterprises: Kyle Petty, CEO of Petty Enterprises, today announced the organization’s addition of championship-winning crew chief Robbie Loomis as executive vice president of race operations. In his new role, Loomis will head the day-to-day operations of Level Cross-based Petty Enterprises and its two full-time NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series teams -- the No. 43 Dodges driven by Jeff Green and the No. 45 Dodges piloted by Petty. “We are excited that Robbie will be rejoining Petty Enterprises,” Petty said. “Robbie won races as a crew chief here, and then won a lot of races and a championship with Jeff Gordon and Hendrick Motorsports. We have great respect for the entire Hendrick organization, and know that Robbie’s experience with the Hendrick team has prepared him well for the role he will take on at Petty Enterprises. “Robbie Loomis will direct our entire race operation, and we expect his experience and his ability to mold a team to help us get to the next level. Robbie has been a part of our family for a long time, and we’re happy to have him come home.” Loomis, 41, will leave his position as crew chief of Hendrick Motorsports’ No. 24 Chevrolets. Before joining Petty, the Forest City, Fla., native will work as a consultant to Concord-based Hendrick as the operation pursues the 2005 NEXTEL Cup championship with the No. 48 Chevrolets. “We still have a job to do,” said Loomis, who won a Cup title with driver Jeff Gordon in 2001 after coming to Hendrick from Petty Enterprises in 2000. “Our goal is winning that championship with Jimmie (Johnson), Chad (Knaus) and the No. 48 team. I’m here to support them in any way I possibly can. (Williams Company)

Petty hints at retirement? But both Green and Petty Back in 2006: Kyle Petty hinted that he may soon join the exodus of veteran NASCAR drivers because of the growing time demands. "No 9-year-old kid dreams about someday signing autographs at Target," Petty said. "One day I'm going to wake up and decide to get on my motorcycle and go riding around the country. It's getting close. Maybe next year. Who knows?" Petty, 45, has not won since the summer of 1995, a string of 313 races. His famous father Richard won a record 200 times. Petty Enterprises also fields the No. 43 driven by former Fairgrounds Speedway champion Jeff Green. Petty said Green will be back in the car next season. (Tennessean)

Kyle Petty On CNN's "Larry King Live" Monday Night: Kyle Petty, driver of the #45 Georgia-Pacific/Brawny Dodge will be a live guest on Larry King Live on CNN Monday night, August 15. Petty will be joined by Jeff Gordon and host Larry King on CNN’s most watched program at 9:00 p.m. (EDT), and will discuss NASCAR racing, as well as his work with the Victory Junction Gang Camp and the Chick-fil-A Kyle Petty Charity Ride. Those were featured in Newsweek magazine a few weeks ago, as well as in national media across the country. Petty Enterprises is no stranger to national media such as Larry King Live and CNN. Kyle and his father, Richard Petty, have been interviewed numerous times by the national cable network, as well as on every national broadcast network. (The Williams Co., Of America, Inc.)

Kyle Petty Charity Ride Kicks Off: “This is our 11th year, and obviously, it’s the Chick-fil-A® Kyle Petty Charity Ride now. We’re excited about this year because, in the past, when we’ve run the charity ride we’ve had to go from either San Francisco or from Southern California and we’ve left according to the race schedule. We just basically left after the race and would ride motorcycles back to North Carolina. That’s how simple the charity ride really is. We’d stop at a few Children’s Hospitals along the way, and we used to end up at our farm with a concert. But now, all of that has kind of changed. When the schedule changed this year, we really didn’t have an open week after any of the California races. So, it kind of put us in a bind, since we’re running from Pocono and the Charity ride is leaving from Portland, Ore. So, basically, what we’re going to do is we’re going to leave when the race is over with and fly out and meet everybody out in Idaho Falls. They leave on Saturday when we’re in Pocono, they leave Portland and they go to Boise (Idaho), and from Boise to Idaho Falls (Idaho), Sunday night. And that’s where we meet with them. Then on Monday we ride from Idaho falls to Cody (Wyo.) and then from Cody, Wyo., to Deadwood, S.D., and then from Deadwood to Sioux Falls, S.D., and then from Sioux Falls to Burlington, Iowa., and then from Iowa on into Louisville, Ky., and then from Louisville to Knoxville, (Tenn.) and from Knoxville back to the Victory Junction Gang Camp. It ends up being a nine day ride because we end up Saturday and Sunday, while we’re racing they’re riding, but for all of us it ends up being a seven day ride. We’re pretty excited about this year because we’re coming through parts of the country up in Wyoming and South Dakota and parts of Iowa and Minnesota that we’ve never been through before on the Charity Ride. So, we’re hitting a different part of the country this year.” (Williams Company PR)

Pettys in Newsweek: Kyle and Pattie Petty are featured in the national news magazine Newsweek this week as part of a new series, “Red, White and Proud.” The series “honors those who make helping others their priority.” The Pettys are noted in the prestigious national news weekly for founding the Victory Junction Gang Camp. (Williams Co., Of America)

Petty Enterprises Changes in 2006, GP no longer primary sponsor: Petty Enterprises has announced plans to restructure its primary sponsorship of the #45 Dodge driven by Kyle Petty in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series beginning in 2006. The change is part of a broader initiative that will be announced in more detail in the coming months and will involve multiple corporate partners. “We’re excited with the possibilities of working with new sponsors and structuring our program to allow for our partners to share the assets of the #45 car throughout the season,” said Kyle Petty, CEO of Petty Enterprises. “Although they will no longer be our primary sponsor, Georgia-Pacific and its Brawny brand has been a great partner for Petty Enterprises and for me personally. They have been supporting us since the mid ‘90s with our Craftsman Series truck program, and have been a valuable part of not only the racing team but the Charity Ride Across America and the Victory Junction Gang Camp as well.” In the course of discussing the coming years and evaluating the long-term objectives of the racing team, Petty Enterprises envisions a different kind of sponsorship model. In elaborating on the plans for 2006 and beyond, Petty stated that “… next year our program will provide us with the opportunity to leverage several promotional tie-ins and other marketing elements with a select group of complementary partners working together to do some pretty cool stuff. Because we will have multiple partners, the entry point dollar-wise for this program is significantly below what companies are paying to be full-time primary sponsors. We’ve had great reaction to this program already and we think it is an exciting way to be involved in our racing platform. We look forward to presenting this strategic marketing platform to potential partners/sponsors who are interested in being involved in a unique Nextel Cup marketing program.” (Williams Company)

Petty and Jones Scuffle: Postrace tensions boiled over once again at Infineon. After the race concluded, an irate Kyle Petty tried going after P.J. Jones in the garage area, presumably over a collision that took place at turn 11 midway through the race. Legendary driver Richard Petty, Kyle's father, reportedly had to step between the two to help break it up. After the 2004 race, Tony Stewart tried attacking Brian Vickers in the garage area while Vickers was still in his car. (contracostatimes.com)

Petty Enterprise sends cars to German Win Tunnel: As the ever-expanding engineering and technical side of NASCAR Nextel Cup racing continues to grow, Petty Enterprises took a huge step to the forefront of wind tunnel testing this week. Accepting an invitation from Dodge Motorsports, Petty Enterprises spent this week in Stuttgart, Germany, at one of the world's state-of-the-art wind tunnels. The wind tunnel in Stuttgart, Germany is equipped with a rare and unique "Rolling Road" wind tunnel system. Cars travel on a belt and can simulate different pitches and angles. Used by Mercedes, Petty Enterprises hopes the facility will provide them with unmatched information. "The 'Rolling Road' wind tunnel can actually give us better, more realistic data comparable to on-track conditions," stated Petty Enterprises General Manager Jerry Freeze. "We're hoping to use this data and compare it to the 'static' wind tunnels we use here in the States." (ThatsRacin)

ESPN SportsCenter & Petty Racing: ESPN Sports Center Airing Petty Feature Piece Tonight:A feature story on Petty Enterprises and including interviews with Richard and Kyle Petty is scheduled to run on ESPN Sports Center tonight at 6 p.m. Eastern. The piece was taped earlier this year at Petty Enterprises.

Petty Rips Harvick: Count Kyle Petty as another driver who isn't ready to sing "Kumbaya" with Kevin Harvick, who instigated Thursday's big crash after "bump-drafting" Jimmie Johnson along a turn. The dicey strategy involves a trailing car bumping the car ahead of it. "It is absolutely, positively idiotic," Petty said. "At 180 mph, whether you're running in a straight line or you're running in the corner, you shouldn't be running into people. We should be better drivers than to run into each other. Let's go back 10-15-20 years; who heard of bump drafting? People raced each other clean." (Orlando Sentinel)

Richard Petty Honored: Seven-time Daytona 500 winner Richard Petty was the first driver inaugurated into the Goodyear Legends of Daytona, new attraction in the Nextel Fanzone that honors stock car, sports car and motorcycle racers for their accomplishments at Daytona. Petty said some of the aggressive driving of today can be attributed to the increasing pressure put on drivers to perform quickly or risk losing their rides. “You’ve got a lot of young drivers coming in and they’re getting a lot of pressure on them real, real, quick,” Petty said. “In their minds, they got to get the job done today. They get overaggressive just because of the pressure put on them. And a lot of times, if it’s not put on ‘em, they put it on themselves.” (Speed)
