Kyle Petty was in Richland and was asked why there are no NASCAR tracks in the Pacific Northwest.
“We’ve tried to come up here 5 or 6 times but every time we come up here, the people you guys vote into office seem to vote us out of the states,” said Petty. “That’s not our fault, so don’t blame us because you guys have great drivers.”
Well, that’s kind of a simplification of what happened here last, but Mr. Petty may have some reason to be bitter with Washington lawmakers after House Speaker Frank Chopp suggested Richard Petty, Kyle’s father, had a DUI. He didn’t.
