Petty Week News From The Petty Page.......... www.pettypage.com

Jayski has set the record straight with information from The Williams Company. Kyle Petty WILL NOT be joining the IRL ranks and as a matter of fact, will not be testing in an IRL car. This all started when a friend of Kyle's made a simple request for him to ride a few laps in an IRL car, following Cup testing next Monday at Atlanta. Kyle had to say no, due to prior commitments.

Petty Page Joe Opinion: This whole deal of Petty driving IRL, Andretti leaving, Adam to cup, is all PURE RUMOR. First of all, Kyle has committed to Petty Enterprises more this year then ever before. Andretti is enjoying his best year in NASCAR ever (See the Statistics Page), and Adam may drive a few Cup races next year if the circumstances are right. In a nutshell, Kyle will never leave Cup racing, John will be here for a long time, and Adam eventually will be a Cup driver.
