“Television lets you see what they showed”: Richard Petty and Dale Inman offer their take on Kansas Cup race 

Richard Petty and Dale Inman offered their take on the AdventHealth 400 through the Petty Family Racing YouTube channel. Kansas saw an action-packed race over the weekend as Kyle Larson went on to take the victory after a dominating performance.The duo answered a question asked by NASCAR insider Jeff Gluck, misjudging him as a fan.

Gluck posted a poll on X asking the users and fans whether Kansas was a good race or not. 58.5 % of the voters voted yes out of the total of 22k votes.

"Overall, yes. Because there was always that chance of the second-place car catching the first-place car," Richard Petty answered via YouTube

"Yes, it was a good race, and it was interesting. Television only lets you see what they show, but if you were sitting in the grandstand, you could look somewhere and find someone really racing." Dale Inman added to Richard Petty's statements

Petty and Inman both felt that the race at Kansas was an interesting race. Inman highlighted that a lot of racing action goes missing as television does not cover everything, and you can see only what they show. Petty also explained that he found the race interesting because the second-place car constantly put pressure on the lead car of Larson.

The full episode of the Kansas race recap will go live on 13th May on the Petty family YouTube channel, where the duo answer more fan questions and discuss key details about the AdventHealth 400 race.
