Four investors talking with Petty

George Gillett Jr., the majority owner of Gillett Evernham Motorsports, isn't the only person pursuing a partnership with Petty Enterprises. Robbie Loomis, the vice president of racing operations at Petty Enterprises, said there are four potential investors interested in NASCAR's most storied organization. There's some days I'm for sure we're going to do something," Loomis said. "Then there's other days I'm, 'Dang. Are we going to get there?'" Petty Enterprises already purchases engines from GEM and has had discussions about sharing chassis. Loomis said that would be a natural fit if it could work, but he put no timetable on it. "We do have a great relationship with Ray," he said of minority owner Ray Evernham. "What I like about Ray himself is he's a winner." ESPN.com
