That is what I had thought he had done in the past. In an attempt to be more brief in my messages, I guess that meaning got lost in the translation. I knew he hadn't missed many, and I couldn't recall if he had missed any, of the races after Adam's death but I was pretty sure he didn't go to the track unless he absolutely had to do so. Sandy, THT (who's glad to know that a few brain cells are still firing after all those concussions! ;-)) I am not the eminent authority Sandy, but those were my best recollections. See my other reply today in this thread, and realize I am not, and never have been, a fan of Loudon. So some lingering bias may be influencing my train of thought if not downright derailing said train. U r right Sim about KP only showing up for the races for a few years. Guess my sporadic memory is just that, sporadic. Cowboy heal / heel thyself, eh THT?

I know he has a hard time coming to Loudon, for obvious reasons, but I know he did qualify for the July race. Just curious. Sandy, THT Yes, indeed it was Kyle Petty that qualified 16th at NH. Perhaps in yore sporadic memory since 'Adam's Accident', KP has made 22 of 24 NH Starts. I have no memory of him not showing up at NH, but i thot it was great that Tony Stewart 'strongly encouraged' Patti Petty to show up at this year's race. CRU Didn't Tony actually use his latest bug contribution to the VJGC to get Patty up there this last time? (I think there were several TV spots about the situation.) And you can also confirm or deny this, stat dude, but I think Kyle has "skipped" everything but the race at least few times since Adam's death up at Loudon, to the extent of having someone else Q and practice his car, and then he came in on Sunday and just ran the race IIRC. Of course he started shotgun on the field as a result those times, but I think that has happened. Also IIRC, he said at the time that he and PEI owed it to their sponsors to race the car, but he didn't come to "that" track until he absolutely had to. |
