RIchard petty annoucned that he will put a car in the 500 with john andretti drivin. How cool is that. I may have to watch this race now. Just think if andretti could win this what it would mean for petty

I would love to see it too, but a brand new 1 car team in the biggest race of the year,,, come on. Yeah I know look at mind that bird at the derby. Odds are way worst for petty.

Will be a long shot just to get a spot in the field but I hope they can get in and do well.
