I am not as down on new NASCAR as others, but I sure will feel a void, if no Petty or Petty entry is in Sprint Cup races. There is another rumor floating around, by the way, that Bobby Labonte is doing to be moving to the No. 41 EGR car and that A.J. Allmendinger would become the 4th GEM driver. No wonder he hasn't signed anywhere yet and the No. 41 remains open still. Thanks for the responses and for reading, guys! This deal is not done, but it appears imminent.

And the world would be right for one Sunday afternoon.

But then I just can't comprehend what NASCAR has become in the 20+ years that I've followed it, either. We basically see IROC cars each week, and they might as well only run the top 15 guys, as we never see/hear anything about any of the rest of them, unless they crash and cause problems for one of the top 15. Truck racing is the only really exciting series, and it looks to be a big victim of this economic downturn. I hope it survives, or there will not be much racing to watch anymore. Maybe I can watch sports cars and/or touring cars? I just can’t comprehend NASCAR without a Petty.

No more Petty. That has got to be killing the King. Just one more thing to make fans turn away from NASCAR. Holy cow. No more Petty. That has got to be killing the King.
