Petty To Field Indy 500 Car
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Richard Petty will make his first
foray into the Indianapolis 500 as an owner when he fields a car for John Andretti in next month's race. Petty will be joining fellow NASCAR team owners Roger Penske and Chip Ganassi at Indy. A news conference is scheduled Monday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but details were confirmed Friday by a person familiar with the arrangement. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because the deal has not been announced. Andretti drove for the now-defunct family-owned Petty Enterprises team in NASCAR from 1998 through the middle of the 2003 season. Andretti has driven in nine Indy 500s. Petty is a partner with George Gillett in the team formerly known as Gillett Evernham Motorsports. Most PopularMore Good Stuff |
