Todd Parrott to the 43!

I'm telling you guys - PE is making some moves to put them back on the map. Been a long time since I've been this excited about an upcoming nascar season. With Loomis, Labonte, and Parrott onboard I truly thing PE will find victory lane in 2006.

The way I see it, it's one more guy going over there to never be heard from again. It doesn't matter who they have driving or setting up the cars, the need better equipment first which means they need to get their rear ends out of Randleman and over to Charlotte where all the resources are. If this was 1970, I'd say yeah, they'd be tearing it up, but the rest of NASCAR passed by PE a loooooooooong time ago.

I agree. PE isn't a threat and they'll never be a threat. Labonte is a great driver, but I think he is past his prime. He has really struggled the last two years in TOP quality equipment. I wouldn't expect much more than mid-pack out of the 43 bunch. And the 45, well...

I wouldn't mind however coming on here this time next year and saying I was wrong. But I don't think it's gonna happen.

I can see the 43 in victory lane again in 2006. Would be great to see "The King" back where he belongs and has visited 200 times himself!!

Going to be a great season for Petty Enterprises!!
