NASCAR: Petty Trying To Figure Things Out

Chad McCumbee will attempt to qualify the car this weekend at Pocono Raceway. Kyle Petty will try to qualify the car the next week at Watkins Glen, and Terry Labonte will drive it at Michigan.

The Number 45, typically driven by Petty, is currently 41st in car owner standings and 273 points out of the top 35. Petty hasn't raced the car since Lowe's Motor Speedway in May. He took a six-race hiatus to join TNT during its portion of the NASCAR broadcast schedule, and has given up seat time this season to both McCumbee and Labonte.
