Comments on: When Two Teams Are Really One http://www.thenascarinsiders.com/2008/09/08/when-two-teams-are-really-one/ A blog by insiders for outsiders Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:03:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bobby http://www.thenascarinsiders.com/2008/09/08/when-two-teams-are-really-one/comment-page-1/#comment-934 Bobby Wed, 10 Sep 2008 13:38:15 +0000 http://www.thenascarinsiders.com/?p=176#comment-934 It's not just Kyle Petty that is still in NASCAR because of his family name. Over the years there have been many drivers riding the coat tails of their famous name. If his last name were not Mears would Casey really still be around? He has done absolutely nothing in NASCAR, but he still gets top rides, the name sells. Michael Waltrip is another, if her were not Darryl's little brother he would have been sent packing in the 80's It’s not just Kyle Petty that is still in NASCAR because of his family name.

While I agree that Kyle has done some amazing things off the track (His camp and other charity work), he has done very little on the track in his entire career. The only reason he is even still in NASCAR is because of the Family name. His comments sound like sour grapes because Petty Enterprises has not been able to keep up with the other owners in the garage.
