If you’re a Jimmie Johnson fan or a Jeff Gordon fan, I’m sure that this year has provided you with one of the most entertaining Championship runs in recent memory – especially since NASCAR rolled out with their current playoff format.

As I stated in a post of mine late last week, Bobby LaBonte appears to have gotten Petty Enterprises headed at least a step into the right direction. I also outlined in that same story, the same cannot be said for the other drivers that have graced the cars owned by Richard Petty, including his […]
