Adam Petty hedged when asked if he will move from the Busch Series to Winston Cup next year. “We’ve got a decision, but we just haven’t made an announcement yet,” Petty said(St Petersburg Times) it was announced on NOL back on 11-11-99 that Adam Petty would make his Cup debut at Texas run up to five Cup races in 2000 with an eye towards CUP in 2001 if his father Kyle thought he was ready. From my understanding, if Kyle does not feel Adam is ready for CUP this May, Adam’s debut will come at a later date. See the #45 Team News and Links page for the past stuff(2-11-2000) –UPDATE: Adam Petty said Saturday he is not planning on expanding his five-race Cup schedule in 2000 despite a new NASCAR rule that allows drivers to run as many as seven Winston Cup races in a season and maintain rookie status. He is considering running the Winston Open at Lowes as practice for the Coke 600(That’s Racin’)(2-12-2000)
