Petty GMS Motorsports will be led by President Mike Beam, who will oversee the day-to-day operations. It’s really special to me that Petty GMS will be racing that car number.” Kyle drove cars and won races with the No. Dad had a lot of success winning races and championships with that number. “I grew up watching my dad race that car, I worked on cars with that number way before I started racing. “As for the car number for the second car, I don’t know that I can express how special it is to me personally to have the No. Previously announced partnerships and crew chief pairings for both Dillon and Jones will remain in place. Jones will continue to pilot the iconic No. In addition, Kyle Petty raced the number from 96, with Beam as the crew chief of the No. The eldest Petty earned three championships and 54 wins in the No. 42 – the original number Lee Petty sported from 1949-1961. To further the Petty tradition, Dillon will now drive the No. The opportunity to combine our two organizations on the Cup front makes a lot of sense for all of us for a number of reasons, one of which is the talent we have between the two organizations this will make us a lot stronger together.” Maury’s commitment to competing and winning is obvious in everything he does, that’s something we really needed. “They’ve won a lot of races and a couple of championships in the Truck Series, and I really look forward to doing the same in the Cup Series. “Maury (Gallagher) and Mike (Beam) have built a really solid organization at GMS,” said Petty.

Affectionally known as “The King,” Petty has accumulated over 200 wins, 123 poles, the most wins in a single season (27), the most Daytona 500 victories (seven), most consecutive wins (10) and was the first of three drivers to win seven championships in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Richard Petty, a member of the inaugural NASCAR Hall of Fame class of 2010, will serve as Chairman of the newly formed organization and remain a face of the team at the racetrack. Ty (Dillon) and Erik (Jones) have proven themselves through the years and we are looking forward to the success they will have as teammates.” Both teams have a track record of winning and we have a strong desire to continue this legacy in a new chapter.

“Petty GMS will have a sole focus of winning.
