#45 in black at NHIS: #45-Kyle Petty will show up at New Hampshire International Speedway with a special paint scheme. ”Every time we run at Loudon, we run a black car,” he said. ”The Sprint people were supportive and allowed us to do it last year, so we run a solid black car up there. It’s not a diecast deal. It’s nothing like that. It’s a personal deal for me.” So when his #45 Dodge takes the track at NHIS, will it be solid black again? ”Yeah,” Petty said, somberly. ”Always.” [as a tribute to his son Adam who lost his life in a BGN accident there in May 2000](Boston Globe)(7-14-2002)
