One of the most storied NASCAR teams will move to new address.
Petty Enterprises, one of the few perpetually administered NASCAR organizations since the golden era, has left Level Cross, North Carolina. The organization has resided in Level Cross since 1949. The Petty's will set up shop in the former building in Mooresville, North Carolina that Robert Yates Racing previously used. The Yates operation is moving closer to Roush Fenway Racing, the organization they are closely affiliated with.
The relocation for the Petty's is bittersweet as their shop has been compared to other storied venues such as the Boston Garden and Yankee Stadium. At the same time, they recognize the importance of operating the team closer to Charlotte.
"Level Cross will always be the home of the wins and championships that the Petty family built. It is where Petty Enterprises was founded and where the team has won and built a legacy in NASCAR. Petty Enterprises and Level Cross are the same as Lambeau Field and the Green Bay Packers, Yankee Stadium and the New York Yankees and Boston Garden and the Boston Celtics," said Richard Petty, team owner.
Petty Enterprises fields the 43 Dodge driven by 2000 champion Bobby Labonte and the 45 Dodge driven by Kyle Petty and Chad McCumbee.
