Hate to see it, but its about time.

He's long done as a driver, but my Lord. Just cut out his heart and stomp on it, why don't they. This is still a Petty. I'd like to see him treated with a little more respect than we're seeing here.

Petty has been done for years but refuses to let go. You have to do something to build winners. If he cared about his company he would manage and realize his personal feelings should be gone. Do what is best for others. Sadly he wants to carry the name and like so many athletes do something that he cannot do anymore.

It's sad but I did predict this a few months ago. The minute Petty hooked up with the big money backer, it was inevitable. The love and loyalty is gone now and it is all bottom line. Follow the money.

"That pending departure-not of Kyle Petty's own doing-is the stunning word from Patti Petty, Kyle's wife."

Am I the only one who rolls their eyes when they hear of a wife/mother complaining to the media about what's going to happen to their husband/son in the sporting world?

You had to think it might come with the change of majority ownership. I have to believe that the 45 car might run better if A. J. was driving it.

Well maybe they won't push him out until he atleast stops the car, now that would SUX

"And Patti Petty says her husband is determined to stay at the wheel of a Cup car.....for someone." Can't tell if "for someone" means he'd drive for someone else, or if she's trying not to say "for Adam." While I don't wish on anyone what they've had to live with - after eight years he needs to transition "honoring Adam" from Dad driving the #45 car at the back of the pack, to Dad getting the ship turned upright and maybe gettin the #45 car to victory lane in the next few years.

Kyle has become better at the business part of racing then behind the wheel. I think in the long run this will be best for Petty Enterprise...

did i miss something but isn't Kyle the President of Petty??? if anyone is taking him out of the car it would be him.. he had said that he was ready more move on to do more things... they are opening another camp of kids, and that is great.. i hope that they look at Allmendinger for the ride and not McDowell..

Let's see how Patti is behind the wheel, hell, Kyle drives like a woman anyways!

Whines like one too!

Shades of Dale Jr leaving DEI! I like Kyle, but he's done as a competitive driver. He may be able to drive 200mph without wrecking, but he's far from a threat to win. Boston Ventures should give him 4 rides a year or something l like that for a year and then phase him into the booth. They could show some class, $ or not.

Has he ever won a race? Or is he just liveing of his daddys past?

He could run in the Nationwide series with the non-Rusty Wallaces.

Farted.

Kyle has 8 wins in his 30yr career, Thunderdragon. Last one was in 1995 at Dover..led 271 laps even! Guy's made $32Million dollars during that time....

Under the new chase format, Kyle Petty would have won the championship in 1992...but that was 16 years ago! Kyle Petty IS done, should be done racing but he isn't the entire problem. Look at Babby Labonte, he is still a very good driver but he isn't doing well driving for Petty. Something else is amiss. There isn't one Dodge in the chase this year and next year will be even worse with Dodge cutting its investment in racing.
