Race Report for the Daytona 400

Kyle Petty, #45 Georgia-Pacific/Brawny Dodge Finished: 24; Started: 33

ATLANTA, GA. July 07, 2004 -- A strong performance from Kyle Petty and the #45
Georgia-Pacific/Brawny Dodge team left Kyle Petty with a 24th place finish
Saturday night. Kyle Petty was pleased with the car's performance throughout the
night and the team made minimal changes to the handling of the
Georgia-Pacific/Brawny Dodge. Kyle Petty was able to move to the front where he
battled in the lead pack of cars throughout the night. The right decisions in
the draft proved critical through the course of the race as drivers positioned
themselves for the race's final stages. Kyle Petty was just unable to catch up
to the lead draft of cars at the end, and raced with his pack of cars to a
24th-place finish.

"It's a shame that we didn't get a better finish," said Kyle Petty. "The car was
pretty easy to drive and the guys did an awesome job with the car all weekend."


OVERVIEW:

Jeff Gordon stayed hot at Daytona, winning his second straight race Saturday in
the Daytona 400 at the 2.5-mile Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. Gordon
and teammate Jimmie Johnson were able to beat the Dale Earnhardt Inc. (DEI) team
of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Michael Waltrip, who had dominated Daytona in recent
years. The win was Gordon's fifth win at the track and 68th of his career.

A hard rain just a few hours before the start of Saturday night's race postponed
the start for over two hours. The rain showers over the track resulted in very
green race track - one with little or no rubber ground into it from earlier
practices and qualifying - but actually helped make the track more "racer
friendly." The race was started under yellow conditions, allowing extra time for
the track to dry, but once the race went green it didn't take long before a
four-car wreck slowed the field. The race went green for a while after that and
it was then the Dale Earnhardt Inc. (DEI) cars of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Michael
Waltrip showed their strength. Both took turns up front, but Earnhardt Jr.
proved to be the most dominant. He lost the lead under the yellow on pit road
when he was forced into the rain-soaked infield to avoid another car. It didn't
take long before Earnhardt Jr. was able to get back to the front and race with
Waltrip for the lead. The DEI contention didn't have the
  night wrapped up, however, as Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jeff Gordon and
Jimmie Johnson swapped the lead with the DEI pair. The end of the race boiled
down to pit strategy. The leaders came to pit road with about 20 laps to go and
the stage was then set. The final contenders included Gordon, Johnson, Earnhardt
Jr. and Tony Stewart. Stewart, who took only two tires on his final stop.
Stewart faded, leaving Gordon and Johnson in front. Earnhardt Jr. was unable to
break up the duo and was left with a third-place finish. Gordon beat Johnson to
the line for the win.

1. Jeff Gordon, Chevrolet
2. Jimmie Johnson, Chevrolet
3. Dale Earnhardt Jr., Chevrolet
4. Kurt Busch, Ford
5. Tony Stewart, Chevrolet
24. Kyle Petty, Georgia-Pacific/Brawny Dodge
30. Jeff Green, Cheerios/Betty Crocker Dodge


Jeff Green, #43 Cheerios/Betty Crocker Dodge Finished: 30; Started: 30

Jeff Green and the #43 Cheerios/Betty Crocker Dodge team had to fight for
everything they got Saturday night after fighting handling woes all night. Jeff
Green developed the problems in the night's first wreck when he was forced into
the grass to avoid the accident. That move unbalanced the front end of Jeff
Green's Dodge and the team had to work to improve the car throughout the race.
The "Helping Hands" crew made major adjustments and gave Jeff Green a car that
he worked up to a 30th-place finish at the end. Jeff Green did lose a little
engine power in the final laps of the race, that resulting in him losing a
little track time at the end.

"There was something off with the car at the end," said Jeff Green. "It was
still a pretty long night for us. We just couldn't get the car to handle the way
we needed to. It was pretty tough to get it through the turns, but we hung in
there to the end."

Pre-Race Report for the Tropicana 400

The thoughts of Georgia-Pacific/Brawny Dodge driver Kyle Petty heading into the
Tropicana 400

ATLANTA, GA. July 07, 2004 -- 'The guy in the grandstands'

“We went through a period a few years ago where we started adding tracks. That
was about the same time as a pretty good growth spurt for NASCAR racing. I don’t
think that’s a coincidence.

“We need to run near cities like Chicago and Los Angeles, just like we need to
take a hard look at what we’re going to do to run closer to Seattle and Denver
and New York City. These are major markets with a lot of fans, and there is
potential for even more new fans. But we have to actually be there – or be
pretty close to there – to get their attention and create some excitement.

“Is Chicago another mile-and-a-half track? Yes. Do we have enough
mile-and-a-half tracks? Probably. Is it a ‘cookie cutter’ deal? Somewhat but it
offers some differences too. It’s more different than you might think from
Charlotte to Chicago to Kansas but, yeah, those tracks are closer together in
styling than Chicago and, say, Martinsville. That’s pretty obvious.

“But for the race fan who lives in downtown Chicago and gets to go to one NASCAR
Nextel Cup race a year, do you think he cares whether Chicagoland is a
mile-and-a-half or not? The main thing that is important to him is he gets the
chance to go to a race, to actually be there, to actually experience it.
Chicagoland this week versus New Hampshire in a couple of weeks versus Pocono
after that means something to the drivers and the people who race week to week
to week . . . but to that guy in Chicago who just wants to go to a Cup race, who
maybe wants to take his kid and experience it, man, that is one happy guy.

“Chicago is different because every race is different. The track might look a
lot like other tracks out there but the race is going to be different. If Jimmie
Johnson runs away with this one like he did at Charlotte, well, then the guy in
second and the guy in third are going to have to run different races. If cars
racing inches apart at 180 miles per hour can’t keep your attention, I’m not
sure what can.

“You hear, ‘Yeah, but they should have built a Bristol up there,’ or ‘They
should have built a Rockingham up there.’ That’s kind of the track du jour, I
know, but they are selling all their seats with a mile-and-a-half track now, and
the television ratings have been pretty good. What would they have gained with
building a Bristol? Rockingham had some great races but there were some races
there, too, that were snoozers. Those kinds of races are going to happen from
time to time, whether it’s Chicago or Sonoma or Daytona or wherever. Rockingham
built a Rockingham, and they couldn’t sell all of the tickets. Why would
Chicagoland be better off with a Rockingham than with what they have?


“There have always been ‘You shoulda builts . . .’ out there. At one time,
Daytona was the epitome of the great race track. If you were going to build
something, you would want to build at Daytona. OK, restrictor plates . . . you
wouldn’t build a Daytona now. Then Dover was the track everyone wanted to model.
They had problems with asphalt there and had to go to concrete. Then Michigan
was the track everyone should build. But you don’t have enough cautions
sometimes at Michigan so the field doesn’t get bunched up enough, so you end up
with some fuel-mileage races. So then it has become ‘Build a Bristol.’ Bristol’s
fine, but in 10 years, it will be another place.

“Nobody wants ‘cookie cutter’ but there isn’t as much appreciation for
innovativeness either, not as much as you might think. Try building a road
course – now that’s different – and see what people think. Look at the criticism
Texas got, and Las Vegas got. They were different and were criticized. Chicago
and Kansas are like a lot of other tracks, and they get criticized. What do you
do?

“As far as me and these Georgia-Pacific/Brawny Dodge guys, we’re more than fine
with running Chicagoland this weekend, and we’re looking forward to it. That guy
who lives in downtown Chicago, the one you’ll see up there in the grandstands
with his kid, that guy is looking forward to it too. When it all comes down to
it, let’s face it. That guy and his kid are the ones we have to please anyway.”

Jim Paschal, the third winningest driver in the history of Petty Enterprises
behind Richard Petty and Lee Petty, died Monday at the age of 77.
Paschal won 9 races in 65 attempts for Petty Enterprises from 1960-70. His best
year was 1963, when he won in five of 29 starts for the team.
In addition to his wins for Petty Enterprises, Paschal won three races while
driving for Julie Petty, Lee Petty's brother.
During his career, Paschal won 25 races in NASCAR's top division.
My condolences, prayers, and best wishes go out to the Paschal family.

and now adam will watch over him on his love - road courses!


Pre-Race Report for the Dodge/Save Mart 350

The thoughts of Georgia-Pacific/Brawny Dodge driver Kyle Petty heading into the
Dodge/Save Mart 350

ATLANTA, GA. June 21, 2004 -- Road courses through eyes of one who likes them

"I like road courses. That's not going to surprise a lot of people but I just
like them. They break up the ovals, they are challenging and they are fun to
drive.

"A series with nothing but ovals wouldn't be as fun, and it wouldn't carry the
same prestige, I don't think. A series with nothing but road courses would be
the same way.

"One of the great things about the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series is that we run on so
many different types of tracks. We run short tracks, intermediate tracks,
superspeedways and road courses. Even the tracks in the different groups are
different from each other. Martinsville and Bristol, for example, are both short
tracks and both just over half-a-mile in length, but that's where the
similarities end. Bristol is banked high and, because of that, the speeds are a
lot greater. Martinsville is banked only a little, so that puts a premium on
braking.

"Infineon and Watkins Glen are both road courses but they are different too. The
length is different, obviously, but the way you approach each of them is
different as well. Watkins Glen is almost a disjointed oval with a majority of
right-hand turns. Infineon puts more of a 'trick' into it, with that hard
right-hand turn at the top of the hill, and that hairpin Turn 11. That doesn't
mean one is any better than the other, just different.

"Infineon is not as forgiving as Watkins Glen. Even though they have increased
the runoff areas in a lot of spots, you have to be extra careful in several
different areas. There are several spots where, if you get off the pavement just
a little bit, it could grab hold of you and tear your car up. You might consider
'short-cutting' a couple of turns, letting your right front or left front ease
off the pavement a little bit, but for the most part, you need to keep it on the
pavement.

"I've never liked that old racing saying, 'Sometimes you have to run slow to go
fast,' because I don't think it's true. But sometimes you have to run
deliberately to run fast, and sometimes you have to take the cautious route to
make your car go faster. That really comes into play at road courses, and
especially at Infineon.

"This is a bigger race than some people give it credit for being. While we are
north of San Francisco, this is one of the biggest markets on the circuit and
it's important to our sponsors and to a lot of racing fans. For a lot of fans,
this is the only chance they get to see us race each year. The next closest
track for Cup racing would be Fontana, and that's almost 500 miles away. For a
lot of fans, if they are going to see a Cup race in 2004, it's going to be at
Infineon. For that reason alone I'm glad we run there.

"Plus, it's fun. Hey, there are tons of people who pay a lot of money to come to
this very same area for vacations. This is our job but we end up spending four
or five days in the same area and come for business reasons. True, we have to
work most of each day but, still, it's a great area to visit. Bruton (Smith) and
his people have worked hard to make the speedway better and better, and it gets
a little better every year. I remember the first time we came out here and, when
you compare that to what we see now, it's night and day. We didn't even have
garages our first few trips to Infineon. They've added that, new grandstands,
redone the course a few times . . . essentially, they've done everything they
could to make the track better.

"We're planning on a good weekend at Infineon for this Georgia-Pacific/Brawny
Dodge team. Like I said, I like road courses."

in a traffic backup for 3 hours, baking in the sun, spending 5 hours
to get out of the parking lot, driving 5 hours home, getting up the
next morning at 5am, going to work on 3 hours sleep, and telling
everybody what a GREAT time you had!

changed the photo today - the old picture was from the charity ride)

May your memory never fade from those lives you've touched.
May we always remember you in our hearts.
