Bobby Kennedy Will Not Return as Kyle Petty’s Crew Chief

Kyle Petty’s move to Level Cross means job changes, and Bobby Kennedy won’t be Petty’s crew chief next season. Who will get the job with Kyle? “That’s up to Robbie Loomis,” Petty said. “He’s the team manager and he’ll be heading both teams.” One possibility is Chris Hussey(former #22 chief). Petty Enterprises is being reorganized, and the Level Cross shops are being redesigned to accommodate Kyle’s team, which is moving up from Charlotte.(JournalNow)(9-28-98)
