lots of them seem to be so far.... they will start thinging the pack soon if no one makes a screw up.
In the off season Petty Enterprises combined forced with GMS to form Petty GMS Motorsports. They have the 42 car with Ty Dillon and the 43 with Erik Jones.

the cars used to really do some flying before they came up with the really smart roof flaps that prevent a lot of that now a days
They have roof and hood flaps along with a flap on the diffuser.

I thought / think so too. I had to look real close. I did manage to spot a 43 car but it IS NOT listed as a Petty Enterprise car. Found out somethings I had missed the last few years.
R.P.E. is just like a bunch of other big corporations these days. Apparently he sold majority a while back keeping about 30% and SOME race controls. They have had 3-4 owners and CEOs since. Again, under new management this year. Richard recently said he thinks the current folks in charge this year actually seem to care if they can and will try to win some races. That is nice. Hate to see that 43 just going round an round with little to no chance of getting up front since he retired.
20 to the garage, mechanical. He had met minimum speed so he is not under the DVP.

Woof! How did #43 get to the front? Stage change stuff? Left Tv for a bit and ..... then? #43 way up front? I like it. Would love to see that car in victory lane once again. Nostalgia / brings back memeories when it seemed like #43 was the only car on the track. I admit , they had such a sponsorship advantage over many others but they were very talented like the entire Wood brothers teams. Both those teams put 100+ % in to it every day at every track.
I believe they did fuel only on the last pit sequence.
Fun fact: that is usually a bathroom break for the broadcasters.CRANK IT UP!

I was wondering if Harvick was even in the race! He is rolling thru the pack now. This field of drivers today has some really very talented young guns.... not many mistakes or loss of patience so far
99 speeding on pitlane, drive through.

Well they could NOT run the race today without the "Demolition Derby segments" twice at that. Still, two scariest wrecks ever was Richard Petty
at Dayton in the 80s & Dale Earnhardt Talladega 1990s.

That second pic is earnhardts death in 01, but I remember the wreck you're talking about. Very violent.
