by Mike Irwin ~ June 11th, 2008 @ 12:07 pmKyle Petty hosted the press conference at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, with NASCAR’s Brian France, #43 driver Bobby Labonte, Richard Petty, new CEO David Zucker and Andrew C. Davis, Managing Director of Boston Ventures seated at the front table.
The partnership between Petty Enterprises and Boston Ventures was announced.
Zucker becomes the first non-Petty to be in charge.
Zucker says he plans to expand to more teams/cars in the future.
Boston Ventures would not say what percentage of Petty Enterprises they invested in.

Problems w/Stock Car Gazette
by Mike Irwin ~ June 11th, 2008 @ 8:38 amI sent out a Stock Car Gazette e-zine edition for today at about 6:30 AM eastern time, and approved it not long after.
Apparently it’s stuck somewhere in the outgoing e-mail server, because I have not received any copies in either of my inboxes, and I figure that you probably haven’t, either.
This problem also might mean that you might receive duplicate copies of today’s edition, dated “Wednesday, June 11, 2008″. We apologize in advance for any duplicates.
You would think I would learn not to send out such large editions, but there was a lot of good stuff I wanted to send you today.
You don’t have to miss out on anything, though, because I posted today’s edition right here on the website. It should be right below this notice, or you can click here to read it also.
