Petty to switch to Dodge for Talladega 500 race
Richard Petty, winner of the 250 miler at North Wilkesboro, plans a one race move from Plymouth to a 1971 Dodge for the May 7 Talladega 500 at Alabama International Speedway. Petty cites aerodynamics and speed as reasons for the switch. Independent driver Neil Castles pushes McCreary tires toward NASCAR entry and Martinsville 500 tire quota, while Goodyear currently supplies racing tires. Buddy Baker withdraws from North Wilkesboro after STP contract limits Grand National entries with Petty Dodge.
