Pettys headed to Mooresville
Associated Press
Petty Enterprises will leave its longtime home in Level Cross and move its NASCAR shop 70 miles down the road to Mooresville next month to be closer to the center of racing in the Charlotte area.
The company said team owners Richard and Kyle Petty agreed to lease space in the shop formerly used by Robert Yates Racing until the team can find land to build its own facility.
Most NASCAR teams have built shops in Charlotte’s suburbs, with the Pettys among the last to make the move.
“We just felt like, over a period of years, we’ve been in Level Cross for 50 or 60 years, and it worked for us,” Richard Petty said during Wednesday’s announcement. “But, over a period of time, the face of racing has changed so much. As it changed, we didn’t change as quickly as some of it. We said, ‘OK, we’ve got to get back into the fold here.’ “
