Petty Returns to Tradin’ Paint:

NASCAR veteran Kyle Petty steps back into the SPEED boxing ring this season for his weekly rounds with NASCAR media on Tradin’ Paint, which premieres Feb. 8 at 9:00pm/et as part of the network’s 100 hours of Daytona Speedweeks in HD. “Kyle Petty is credible, informative, engaging and current on every issue in NASCAR,” said Steve Craddock, SPEED Senior VP of Programming. “It is so important for the fans to hear every angle of a particular issue and whether or not Kyle agrees with the media guest, he can and will debate them fiercely and in an entertaining manner. Kyle is part of racing royalty and his passion for NASCAR is evident in his weekly discussions about the sport. We are thrilled to have him continue on Tradin’ Paint and become a more permanent fixture on the network.” Petty, known for his confrontational, engaging and heated debates with media guests last year, has signed on for another season of trading volleys on the hottest topics in NASCAR. John Roberts will return as host.(SPEEDtv.com)(1-22-2008)
