When 23XI Racing wanted to use the No. 45 for their second team, they asked Kyle Petty permission to use the number: That had been Adam's number.

It was such a treat for all generations of race fans.
Wishing peace and comfort to Ken Squier and his family as he gets ready to go with God.
Hopefully he has seen the amount of love and respect he has received over the past few days and can appreciate the impact his life has had. He's earned this.

Muniz referenced this video directly.

22 years later, Marlin's chassis from that race is still racing in ARCA with Rette-Jones, and is likely the car Muniz himself will race at Daytona 🤯

TRUE STORY: When Dale Earnhardt died his wife Teresa rebranded his race team as DEI and made it "woke". The team eventually fell apart because of this (and only this) and hence went "broke".
This is 100% true and I am absolutely not making this up

Darrell Waltrip's wreck in 1991. Ryan Preece's wreck tonight. Same section of the racetrack.
See the difference in the integrity of the body?
The roof hatch coming out is alarming to me, but look at how much of the body stay intact on Preece's car with the exception of the front end.
In the past the sheet metal would have been completely ripped away. Go look at Rusty Wallace's car from 1993 and Preece's car now.
