Kyle Petty got a little mad Sunday afternoon at Watkins Glen. And as a result, he won't be racing Sunday at Michigan.The heir-apparent to any new driving opportunity at Petty Enterprises, Chad McCumbee will instead take over.
Petty had surgery Tuesday on a broken right hand suffered after an incident on course at lap 69.
It sounds like self-contact was to blame for the injury:
Kyle Petty, driver of the No. 45 Petty Enterprises Dodge suffered a broken hand as a result of hitting the butt of his right hand on a door inside the hauler after a lap 69 incident in Sunday's Centurion Boats at the Glen at Watkins Glen International road course.Maybe it was just a ploy to get McCumbee in the car again? After all, the kid did a fantastic job at the first Pocono race and Petty has had nothing but praise for the driver on his rotational role with PRN's Fast Talk.
[...] He flew back to his home in North Carolina, where he was treated by a doctor who determined that the hand was broken.
Or, most likely, Petty got mad and had a little bit of anger built up because his car didn't perform at all Sunday and because he had to fire a crew chief.
He's scheduled to be back for the breeze of a race that is Bristol. Right.
