Kyle Petty finished a season-high 11th despite racing with two cracked ribs. It wasn’t easy. “My ribs hurt so bad and my back hurt so bad that I just rode around for the first 170 laps,” Petty said as he walked in the garage but kept his left arm still. “I told them to tell me when there were 15 laps to go and we’ll race.”( Roanoke Times )(4-7-2003)
