Any Kyle Petty fans? - Page 3

I watch NASCAR to fill the void between football season. I tend to favor Kyle Petty...the King was awesome.

Most of my kids friends like the younger ones, but I was just talking about the ending of an era

Dale Gone
Rudd retired
Rusty retired
Martin probably going to retire
Ward Burton Gone

jeesh...how do you fill those shoes?

Um, I believe he was referring to Dale Sr.

Rusty was definitely one of my favorites, great guy and a great ambassador to the sport.

There's some good young drivers to get excited about though, most of them seem to have the competitive spirit to keep things interesting. It's all good.

If you make it down to get fireworks you and my mrs are going to hit it off instantly.

There are some automobile races that begin with a footrace across the track to jump in their cars.

Then they start driving in a race.

But they are already at work.

When they reach their final destination, they're off for the rest of the day.

A persons favorite doesn't always have to be one of the best, does it? I mean hell, you are a fan of the Chiefs. You should be used to liking year in and year out losers.

Far from the worst though. Besides, he knows he will never win a championship, let alone a race anymore. He uses his position to further his charitable causes. He spends hundreds of hours a year giving his time and position helping those less fortunate.

Kyle's charities

(camp for seriously ill children)

He also works with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Boy Scouts of America. One thing is for certain, there should be more people like Kyle Petty.

Now that Rusty's gone, there's no need to watch. I'll turn my attention to IRL and see what ol Marco Andretti can do. I forsee him switching to NASCAR or F1 if he starts getting real good real fast (which I'm hoping he will).

He could be like his grandpappy, the only person to win an Indy 500, Daytona 500, and the F1 championship.

Moooo

Petty races on his name only. Sucks big time as a driver. I'm suprised they let him trash so many cars.
