Petty Enterprises signs deal with investor
Petty Enterprises, a family-owned team since NASCAR's first race in , has sold controlling interest to Boston Ventures, a private equity firm. Stock-car icon Richard Petty will stay deeply involved, but year-old David Zucker is the new CEO. Previously, he was president and CEO of Playboy Enterprises, worked with Walt Disney Corp. and was executive vice president at ESPN.
"This is not a sponsorship deal, this is a partnership deal," Petty said Wednesday during a press conference at Lowe's Motor Speedway. "It's emotional for me, but things have changed so much in racing. We needed help because things had gotten away from us. A lot of people wanted to come in and buy the team; these people wanted to come in and become part of the family. They're going to bring in capital and manage the money."
As part of the deal, veteran Bobby Labonte signed a four-year contract extension through the season.
"This new association swayed me in the right direction," Labonte said. "It weighed a lot in my decision. It's a four-year extension, with options. And there's an opportunity to become a partner later on."
