FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, February 11, 2014 FOX Sports Hires Petree as NASCAR Rules Analyst Newly Created Role Tied Directly to Debut of Video Officiating Charlotte, N.C. - FOX Sports today announces the addition of former racer, team owner and NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES championship crew chief Andy Petree to the newly created on- air position of Rules Analyst for the 2015 FOX NASCAR race season. With the imminent debut of NASCAR’s new video officiating system on pit road, Petree is tasked with explaining any technical violations to the viewing audience, beginning this week at Daytona. “Not unlike what Mike Pereira does for us during or NFL on FOX broadcasts, we felt the new technical environment in NASCAR lends itself to creating a similar voice on the FOX NASCAR broadcast team,” said John Entz, FOX Sports EVP of Production/Executive Producer. “Andy will work into the role of ‘rules guru,’ giving our audience a strong and consistent point of reference from the broadcast booth.” NASCAR’s new officiating system utilizes 45 cameras arranged in six-camera clusters on the grandstand side of a racetrack, with violations reported in real-time to the event broadcaster. Petree, who comes to FOX Sports from ESPN, has a long history in the sport, including as a team owner of the No. 33 Skoal Bandit and as crew chief for the late Dale Earnhardt during his sixth and seventh championship seasons (1993 and 1994).

ADAM STEVENS: Crew Chief Biography
ADAM STEVENS: Crew Chief Biography Birthdate: 7/22/78 Hometown: Portsmouth, Ohio Residence: Huntersville, North Carolina Marital Status: Married to Aubrey Children: Carter and Ryan In just five seasons as a full-time NASCAR Cup Series crew chief, Adam Stevens has certainly etched his name into the record books as one-half of the most formidable driver-and-crew chief combinations the sport has ever seen. The 41-year-old native of Portsmouth, Ohio, first joined forces with Kyle Busch and the No. 18 M&M’S/Interstate Batteries Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) at the start of the 2015 Cup Series season and, in the relatively short time since, has led all competitors with two series championships and 27 victories in 169 races together through the 2019 campaign. Stevens and Busch clinched their second Cup Series title together at the most reason Championship 4 season finale last November at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where Busch led a race-high 120 laps and crossed the finish line a comfortable 4.5 seconds ahead of his JGR teammate Martin Truex Jr. Coupled with their 2015 championship together, Stevens became just the 15th crew chief in Cup Series history to win multiple championships, tying him with a virtual who’s who of history-making crew chiefs including Greg Zipadelli, Jeff Hammond, Andy Petree, Tim Brewer and Smokey Yunick with two titles apiece. Stevens’ and Busch’s 27 wins together is the most during the last five Cup Series seasons, the next-closest duo being driver Kevin Harvick and crew chief Rodney Childers, who won 21 races in that time and 26 wins together since their first and only championship season in 2014.

The Growth of the Nascar Industry in Charlotte, North Carolina, 1949-2000
CITY OF RACERS: THE GROWTH OF THE NASCAR INDUSTRY IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, 1949-2000 by Bryan Paul Gable A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Charlotte 2018 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Mark Wilson ______________________________ Dr. Aaron Shapiro ______________________________ Dr. Ritika Prasad ii ©2018 Bryan Paul Gable ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT BRYAN PAUL GABLE. City of Racers: The Growth of the NASCAR Industry in Charlotte, North Carolina, 1949-2000. (Under the direction of Dr. Mark Wilson) This study explores the development of the NASCAR industry in the city of Charlotte and its surrounding region through the second half of the twentieth century. I argue that NASCAR and Charlotte were seeking the same goals in the late twentieth century: greater national prominence and a strong relationship with corporate America. As a result, NASCAR found a technological and cultural home in Charlotte by proving its worth as a desirable and highly profitable industry. I explain how Charlotte Motor Speedway emerged from bankruptcy and became an exemplary venue for NASCAR by solidifying its reputation as the showplace of NASCAR. I also describe the culture of specialization that the Holman-Moody race team fostered in Charlotte. Later generations of Charlotte NASCAR teams would continue to embrace innovative methods for managing a race team. Finally, I discuss Charlotte’s importance as a growing urban center of the Piedmont and NASCAR’s contributions to building Charlotte’s regional identity. iv DEDICATION For my grandfather, who taught me that academic excellence is its own reward.

Fox Nascar Quotes
FOX NASCAR QUOTES FOX NASCAR Analysts McReynolds, Michael Waltrip, Petree and Smith Make Bold 2018 NASCAR Season & Championship Predictions Smith: ‘I think this is the last year we see Jimmie Johnson race’ CHARLOTTE, N.C. – FOX NASCAR analysts Larry McReynolds, Andy Petree, Regan Smith and Michael Waltrip joined NASCAR RACE HUB co-hosts Adam Alexander and Shannon Spake Thursday for a War Room special in which they made predictions and analyzed the upcoming 2018 NASCAR season. Below are quotes from the episode. NASCAR RACE HUB airs Monday through Thursdays at 6:00 PM ET on FS1. What is your bold prediction for 2018? “Young William Byron will win a race in his first season and be a force in the sport. Look at what he has already done by winning so many Truck and Xfinity races. He will carry it on in the Cup Series.” --Andy Petree “Erik Jones will win multiple races. His first win will be at Atlanta, and he will win four races in 2018.” --Michael Waltrip “We’ve been waiting on Chase Elliott to find Victory Lane. Not only will he get that first win, but I think he will win at least three races in 2018. He will be the first Hendrick driver to win this year.” --Larry McReynolds “I think this is the last year we see Jimmie Johnson race. I think he’s going to retire after this year. I don’t have any inside information, but something tells me he has to be getting to that point in his career.” --Regan Smith Which four MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES drivers will compete for the championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November? Who wins the title? “My final four look pretty similar to last year – the 78, 11, 18 and 9.

NASCAR ' S Best and Underrated
NASCAR ’ s Best and Underrated COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL CCH001.inddH001.indd 5 66/25/10/25/10 77:05:28:05:28 PPMM Who Was the Greatest NASCAR Driver Ever? This debate always gets passionate fans going, with typically mild - mannered individuals turning into raving, obsessed fanatics if someone dares to challenge the superiority of the guy they so proudly call “ their ” driver. Think of a 140 - pound, Woody Allen – look- ing dweeb who lives and breathes Kasey Kahne suddenly getting a surge of testosterone, pufﬁ ng out his chest while forgetting com- mon sense, and stupidly trying to take on a hulking, 300 - pound redneck who takes great offense if you say anything bad about Dale Earnhardt Jr. Then watch the punched - out Woody Allen – esque fan suddenly wind up doing a frightening, almost cartoonlike barrel roll through the air like the great Rusty Wallace did more than a few times during his career at places like Talladega Superspeedway. Mamas, don ’ t let your babies grow up to be cowboys, and make sure you teach ’ em never to diss Dale Junior— but I digress. In more than sixty years of racing, NASCAR has had more than its share of greats, the most notable being The King, Richard Petty, and the equally colorfully nicknamed Intimidator, the late Dale Earnhardt. Both Petty and Earnhardt share a record that will most likely never be broken in Cup racing, each having won seven championships. Even Jeff Gordon, a guy who is just as talented as Petty and Earnhardt, will probably never make it to seven titles in the years of racing he has remaining.
