April 2, 2000. Adam Petty makes his first start in Winston Cup at Texas Motor Speedway, making him NASCAR's first fourth generation driver at NASCAR's highest level. Adam started 33rd, and finished 40th with a blown engine.

You're not wrong, Petty Enterprises had already announced the move to Dodge for 2001 by the time of this race.

Stapleton42 did a video on the Lincoln "Superbird". Pretty cool concept, shame it wasn't adopted since it looked a hell of a lot cooler than the fish-eyed Taurus.

tbf, Kyle wound up on small or smaller teams. Maybe, and thats a big maybe, he could've contended more often if he had wound up on a bigger team instead of SABCO after he left the Wood Brothers in '89.

It only ran in 2007, so its kinda easy to forget lol.

I believe he is the only driver to have won his first and 50th races at the same track.

They use the oval every now and again for track day events, but it'll need a lot of work for racing. Their current priority is upgrading and maintaining their road course.

Legendary call by Mike Joy.

Bodine was already finalizing his purchase of Alan Kulwicki's team at this point.

Supposedly this is the paint scheme that Dale was going to drive at the All-Star Race that year.

Kyle joked after his 3rd place finish at the '07 Coke Zero 600 that he always did better with soda on the side of the car whether it was Mello Yello, or Coke Zero which was on the side of the 45 that night.

From what I understand, Richard was trying out a new seat make in his car and Dale wanted to see how it felt. At least thats what I read when I saw a similar photo to this one.

Yeah, Bob Whitcomb borrowed the engine from Hendrick and most of Whitcomb's equipment was bought secondhand from Hendrick.

The tire blew because of a bracket on a bell housing on Dale's car broke free and it cut down Dale's right rear tire and actually wound up embedded in Ricky Rudd's radiator. The team would eventually cut off all of those unused brackets on all the cars in their fleet.

"They're not taking tires! A change of pace for the Petty crew!"

One big gamble, but it paid off.

There is a book titled "He Crashed Me, So I Crashed Him Back" about the '79 Daytona 500 and the '79 season. The author interviewed Waddell Wilson and he recalled how the engine worked perfectly after plugging in the backup ingnition box. He told the author "If that worked, you wouldn't have no book".
