Petty’s Crew Chiefs to Embark on Year-Long Trek Across America:

Petty’s Crew Chiefs to Embark on Year-Long Trek Across America: A recent survey of ASE-certified Master Auto Technicians revealed that a properly maintained and operated vehicle will run more efficiently, will be safer and will last up to 50 percent longer. Findings such as these, along with the concern that people have gotten out of the habit of taking care of their cars, have prompted NASCAR-legend Richard Petty and his crew chiefs to share with people their best practices for engine maintenance: the `All 3 Every 3′ program, which recommends Americans practice proper engine maintenance by simply following these easy steps every 3,000 miles: (1) Change Your Oil (2) Clean Your Fuel Injectors (3) Check Your Belts, Hoses and Fluids. Richard Petty has enlisted the help of his Petty Enterprises’ crew chiefs – Greg Steadman, Bryant Frazier, Chris Hussey, and Howard Comstock – in order to educate Americans about the importance of automobile maintenance. From March through November, Petty’s crew chiefs will travel across America to introduce the `All 3 Every 3′ program. Tour stops with the crew chiefs will include a brief talk about the maintenance steps involved with the `All 3 Every 3′ program, a car care question and answer session and then actual “under the hood” demonstrations and tips. Launching in Greensboro, N.C., the `All 3 Every 3′ tour is scheduled to hold car maintenance events in Bristol, Tenn.; Roanoke, Va.; St. Louis, Mo.; Charlotte, N.C.; Memphis, Tenn.; Daytona Beach, Fla.; Lexington, Ky.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Nashville, Tenn.; Richmond, Va.; Birmingham, Ala.; and Atlanta, Ga.(Petty PR)(4-17-2001)
