After finishing 27th at Chicago, #45-Kyle Petty apologized for being too harsh on his engine builder, Mike Ege, last week at Daytona. Only one of three Petty Enterprises cars qualified for the Pepsi 400. “They worked 96 hours straight to send us to Chicago with something different, and in 98 hours, they made some big gains,” Petty said. “My hat’s off to them. There’s daylight at the end of the tunnel. We just have to keep plugging at it.”( Richmond Times Dispatch )(7-14-2003)
