I'm I completely delusional or did I read not too long ago that BL signed an extension at Petty?

Yep, according to a "source" he signed a contract that would allow him to finish his career at Petty Enterprises.

Even the commentators last Saturday night mentioned it.

I would rather he move to RCR, or another good team

maybe that contract was for the rest of this season only, never heard how long it was for.

are you implying that maybe some of the reporting is incorrect haha

Labonte is staying with Petty. It's a good fit for him and them, and he has in Robbie Loomis a terrific racing GM.

Interesting. To me it sounds like RCR is not out of the picture. It was made clear on NASCAR Now that RCR needs to have a driver named for the Cheerios/Betty Crocker car by mid-June per the sponsor. That is about 3 weeks away.
