"Petty Enterprises" was a NASCAR racing team based in Randleman, North Carolina/Randleman, North Carolina, United States/USA. It was founded by Lee Petty with his two sons Richard Petty and Maurice Petty. The team was later owned by Richard Petty, his son Kyle Petty and Boston Ventures. At the time of its folding the team operated the #43 and #45 Dodge Chargers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Petty Enterprises ran from 1949 until 2008. The team closed shop in January 2009 and merged with Gillett Evernham Motorsports after sponsorship could not be found for any of the cars in the Petty stable; the merged team took the name "Richard Petty Motorsports", adopting a logo similar to that of Petty Enterprises' logo.
