Lynda Petty, Wife of Richard Petty, Dies at 72

Lynda Gale Owens, wife of seven-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Richard Petty, died on Tuesday at the age of 72 after a long battle with cancer. Petty died at her home in Level Cross, North Carolina and her death was described as “peaceful” by the family.

"We wish to sincerely thank everyone who has supported us and our family throughout the years and at this time,” the Petty family said in a statement. “We will forever love and miss a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend."

Many in the NASCAR community reflected on Petty’s kindness and strength in the NASCAR community and support for her husband as he raced at tracks across the country. She fought a brain tumor over the past several years, along with Central Nervous System Lymphoma and, though she was able to beat it initially, the treatment and symptoms of the disease itself took a toll on her health.

“On behalf of the France Family and everyone at NASCAR, I want to offer sincere condolences to the Petty Family regarding the loss of their beloved matriarch, Lynda Petty,” said Brian France, NASCAR Chairman and CEO. “Through the years, Lynda became an integral part of the NASCAR family. We have lost a true friend, who will be missed each and every day. Our thoughts and prayers will be with the Pettys throughout this difficult time.”

Many drivers issued their condolences to the Pettys. Jimmie Johnson tweeted, “I'm thinking of the Petty family...”

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. also issued his sympathies, tweeting, “Sad to hear about the passing of Lynda Petty. Thoughts and prayers.”

The Petty family says that, in lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to:

Petty Family Foundation
311 Branson Mill Road
Randleman, NC 27317

Lynda leaves behind "King" Richard Petty, her husband who she was married to since 1958, four children, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Graham Rahal and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Toss Around Idea of Trading Seats
 
Could an IndyCar and NASCAR star be stepping into brave new worlds? It all began with a simple twitter conversation between the pair, when Graham Rahal sent a message to Dale Earnhardt, Jr. offering up a trade of rides. The conversation grew as they began to discuss different track options where the trade up could be possible.

Rahal feels that the opportunity to do something special is there with both being sponsored by the National Guard.

“It's something I really wanted to do,” Rahal commented during Tuesday’s INDYCAR Media Conference call. “I was surprised he [Earnhardt] responded. Of course, I felt with the National Guard that it could potentially happen. Media-wise, for sponsor exposure, I think it would be tremendous for them. But I also thought it would be something that would be fun to do."

“There's been a lot of Cup guys jumping in an IndyCar," he continued. "Kurt Busch is going to be doing it in the month of May. Jimmie Johnson and others have been always interested.”

Previous ride swaps between drivers of different racing series include Jeff Gordon and Juan Pablo Montoya (when Montoya was still in Formula 1) and Tony Stewart and Lewis Hamilton only a few years ago. There's no word on whether the swap will be a one-day PR stunt or a full, points-paying event.

Overnight TV Ratings Down For Fontana

NASCAR suffered through their fifth straight week of declining television ratings Sunday. The race at Fontana, despite a sellout crowd only generated a 4.0 Nielsen overnight Rating, down 11 percent from a 4.5 scored just one year ago. It's the second-lowest overnight for the event since the year 2000, trailing only a 3.7 scored for the 2011 edition of the race. Cup qualifying, whose 771,000 audience on FOX Sports 1 was a significant increase over 2013 proved the only silver lining.

So far this season, every NASCAR Cup race has suffered through a decline in viewership. Only the Truck Series season-opener, at Daytona has posted a significant increase among the sport's top three divisions.

From Sunday: Robert Lynn “Bobby” Waltrip passes away
 
Robert Lynn “Bobby” Waltrip, middle brother of Darrell Waltrip and Michael Waltrip, passed away on Sunday. While the middle Waltrip brother was never directly involved in NASCAR, Bobby was involved in go-karting, first winning races himself and then serving as an announcer and promoter in the sport in both the World Karting Association (WKA) and the American Karting Association (AKRA).

"Found out this afternoon that our brother Bobby went to be with The Lord, please pray for our family, go rest high on that mountain brother," Darrell Waltrip tweeted late Sunday night.

Michael Waltrip added his thoughts on Twitter as well, saying, "Please pray for our family. Robert Lynn 'Bobby' Waltrip passed away today. My brother Bobby was a sweet man and will be dearly missed."
 

Both Michael and Darrell were on air for last weekend's race in Fontana and will be back this weekend in Martinsville.

Today's Featured Commentary

The Big Story on Big Hoss: A Q & A Interview with Texas Motor Speedway

President, Eddie Gossage
by Greg Davis

There’s no question that Texas Motor Speedway President, Eddie Gossage loves his job, the racetrack he manages, and the fan base that attends the track’s events, including its two NASCAR dates every year. It’s something that he is passionate about. And that passion is especially prevalent when he speaks about his multi-million dollar project, “Big Hoss”, the world’s largest high definition LED video board just unveiled last week on the backstretch at TSM.

I spoke with Eddie in an interview last week about the launch of Big Hoss on March 19th, how the idea to build the big screen was born, how the screen will add to marketing at TSM, and, most importantly, how Big Hoss will change the landscape of how fans enjoy racing at other tracks across the country.

Greg Davis, Frontstretch.com: First off, congratulations on the unveiling of Big Hoss! You had Kyle Busch, Helio Castroneves, and the gang from Duck Dynasty out there on Wednesday night to get the event kicked off. How was the event?

Eddie Gossage: It was fabulous! We had just thousands and thousands of fans, which is the most important part to me. You know they showed up, and we did it all in the infield, and we told people to drive their cars right on into the infield. When we open the tunnel at 6:00 to enter the infield, the backup was a mile and a half long to get in there, so clearly people were jacked-up about it, and they wanted to see it for themselves. And then, of course, they wanted to see Kyle, and Helio, and Willie and Korie and all the rest, so it was a fun event Wednesday night, and I think the fans left here just pumped-up even more, and that’s what we [wanted] to do. It was part media event, and more than anything it was an event to reward our fans, and cause some word of mouth. You know, people go to work the next day and go "you’re not gonna believe what I saw last night"… and I think we accomplished our goal.

Davis: So how did this idea even start? When did it all begin? And was it your vision, was it Bruton Smith’s, where did this all get started?

Gossage: Well, the truth is it all goes back to Marcus Smith, who is the President of Charlotte Motor Speedway and President of the parent company, Speedway Motorsports Inc. And, Marcus several years ago at Charlotte said, you know: "What if we could build a big screen that was the size of a billboard. And a billboard here is 30 ft by 60 ft, that’s what you see on the side of the interstate, a good-sized billboard. And he had a meeting with Panasonic, and Panasonic said: "Well, what if we built one that was a mega-board, not a big screen, but a ‘mega’ screen’?" And well, what would that cost? And we went to work on that, and on developing it. And you have to know the engineering to know what kind of structure you have to build.

Basically, you build the steel structure of a building and, because it does sit up on legs like a billboard, it’s substantial because of wind loads and things of that nature. And you build the steel structure to have floors and stairwells and all kind of things in it, and then you attach the LED modules to the front, and you ended up with a 180 by 90 foot screen at Charlotte Motor Speedway, which was the biggest in the world. And of course, we knew that Texas would be next. We knew it would be two or three years, so a couple of years back Bruton said: "OK, go to work and design what you’re thinking." So I remember we had a meeting in Las Vegas one race weekend, just the three of us, Bruton, Marcus and I, and Bruton said, "Alright, what ya got?" and I rolled out these plans.

It was a 400 foot television! So he looked at it and smiled and he looked at Marcus and said: "I told ya." Bruton just rolled it up and handed it back to me and he said, "Let’s do one like Charlotte’s." And Marcus said: "No, it needs to be bigger than Charlotte’s. You know the next one needs to be bigger still," and so we built the 220 by 100 foot screen we have here. So I have to give Marcus credit for getting the ball rolling several years back, and to me it’s the ultimate fan amenity. All sports are battling improving technology, improving affordability of home theater systems. And as the TV networks continue to develop via technology, better and better ways to broadcast, it’s terribly tempting to stay at home. The NFL is concerned about it. College football had some real issues this year on attendance. College basketball last year had the lowest attendance in 30 years. Because you don’t have to go to the game to see the game any longer. And so, to me, this is the best of both worlds to the couch potatoes. You know, I think everybody agrees. Nothing like attending live, but this way you’re going to still see all the replays and the things you missed because you’re looking at this end of the track and something happens on that end of the track. So it’s the best of both worlds.

Davis: From a marketing standpoint, when you guys are looking at brands who are looking to invest their marketing dollars with the Speedway, and with NASCAR, how does Big Hoss give you a leg-up over other tracks on the schedule in terms of marketing?

Gossage: We're only going to sell a few sponsorships. Right now, we have four sponsors on the screen. We’re not selling 30 second commercials, because unlike other sports that have timeouts and halftimes and those kinds of things, the action [here] is non-stop. And so we will broadcast from green flag to checkered flag, so you’ve got to find other ways to work your sponsor in. So various rundowns and leaderboards and things like that will share graphics for various sponsors, which we’ve got everybody from Panasonic, who bought some inventory, to Axalta, Jeff Gordon’s sponsor, to the Fort Worth Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, which I think is real smart. So that’s one, and then two we’d like to increase ticket sales, but you’d like to keep the fans that you’ve got, and you know in and of itself Big Hoss is an item that causes curiosity. "I gotta see that" [is the thought process] and you add the race, and the pre-race ceremonies, and the pre-race entertainment and all of those kind of things, and wow, it’s a heck of a deal that you’re getting.

Davis: As far as non-race day goes, are there any plans right now to use Big Hoss on a non-race day?

Gossage: Sure, you know we do 200 days a year of track rentals, and it could be anything from a trade show to a new car introduction. And I’ll give you an example. Let’s say Chevy brings in the new 2015 Chevy Tahoe and it’s got some new feature on it. They’ll bring in dealers from all across the country and we have these commonly, where you’ll have five or ten thousand people in the infield, and they’ll take them through classes and show them what’s new on the car, they get to test drive it, which is what’s unique. And so a lot of those sponsors have already told us, we want to have our logo up on the screen if nothing else because I want to go into production and actually conduct the demonstration up on the big screen. So it’s really like a huge AV department in and of itself. I mean we’re like any other meeting space, that’s what we do a lot, the race track is a meeting facility. The Speedway Club has meeting rooms for a group of ten up to 1,000, and once you go over 1,000 we do all kinds of things with the garages and pit road and track rides, and all sorts of things. And it’s not uncommon to have several going on at once. So Big Hoss will get used a lot. It also is attractive to bringing in other events. I know Red Bull Air Race is excited. They’ll be here in September. Airplanes racing inside the oval, 30 feet off the ground, 300 miles per hour. And they loved having the big screen. But concerts and other things like that, music festivals, have already expressed some interest and want more information, so it opens the door for a lot of things.

Davis: That’s great. Now, we talked about Charlotte having their 16,000 square foot screen over there. Do you think we’ll see anything like Big Hoss at the other SMI tracks, or even non-SMI tracks nationwide anytime soon?

Gossage: Yes, the answer is yes. I know Panasonic had at least one other venue operator, in another sport, here Wednesday night for the unveiling, and they’re bringing several to our April 6th Commander 500, so they can see the quality of what they do. I know that it’s also the same weekend as the Final Four in town [the NCAA Final Four is being held at AT&T Stadium the same weekend as the race] so a bunch of Athletic Directors are going to be here, because while they won’t build something this big, football stadiums and arenas are always upgrading and things like that, so Panasonic uses it as a sales tool. If we can do this, then we can certainly do a much smaller one for your arena. About a week or so after we announced plans to build Big Hoss, Churchill Downs announced that they were building a screen which will make its debut at the Kentucky Derby. They had Panasonic do that, and it’s not as big but it’s still a mega-board. Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia has brought Panasonic in to completely re-do their boards. So these mega-boards are really sales tools to other stadiums and arenas and facilities around the world.

Davis: It’s really changing the landscape, like you said before, from a fan’s standpoint, what it’s going to be like to present a race to a fan, and also for a fan to take the show in. That completely changes the landscape industry-wide and I’m sure every track is going to be saying "OK, what’s the next thing? How can we upgrade our presentation for fans?"

Gossage: Well I remember, probably ’84 or ’85, being at Michigan International Speedway, and they had the first big screen I had ever seen, and it was a Diamond Vision screen. And I remember sitting there on pit road, and this of course was before LED, so you got a tremendous amount of heat from the lamps that made up the screen, and we all thought it was just amazing. Looking back on it, it was kind of like just watching ink blots. And this thing [Big Hoss], it's true High Def. So this screen has a clearer resolution if you sit in our stand, than your High Def TV has that you have at home sitting in your living room. It’s that good.
