UPDATE: Kyle Petty - "I have been asked, on several occasions, my opinion on the fact that no driver from the state of North Carolina has won a race yet this season. If you look, there are probably fewer of us now than at any point in the history of NASCAR. It's just a part of the evolution of the sport. I think North Carolina, as a whole, definitely played a large role in getting Cup racing to the level it is today. At the same time we're heading to Kansas the home of Sprint, our series title sponsor in 2008. The sport has changed and it has grown much bigger and better. That is no way a negative."(Petty Racing PR)(11-18-2007)
UPDATE 2: With #88-Dale Earnhardt's win at Michigan, it is the first time a driver born in North Carolina has won a Cup race since Brian Vickers won at Talladega in Ocr 2006. The 2007 season was the first time in the history of the sport that no North Carolina drivers won at least one race in a season.(6-15-2008)

UPDATE: from a DW Q&A column at FoxSports.com: Linda from Manassas, Va.: I just read where NASCAR, after reviewing the situation, has given Bobby Allison a win he had in a Mustang. Wonder if NASCAR will ever "review the situation" and give you the win at North Wilkesboro that they gave to Brett Bodine?! [no idea what that one is about??]
DW's Answer: "I heard through the grapevine — through Jayski actually — that NASCAR had revised the results after 30 years and given Bobby Allison credit for some race that he won in a Mustang. No one has called me and told me anything about it, not that they necessarily would. A Mustang has never been a Cup car so I don't know if that change is official or not. If it is, it would be one of those things that make you go "Hmmm."(FoxSports), been told by sources that Bobby Allison also had not heard about the win being added.(1-12-2005)
