Driving the 43 Puts Added Pressure on Sorenson
Reed Sorenson has been in Nascar 5 years and coming into this season I bet he’s feeling some added pressure. This year hes going to be driving the 43 car, the most famous number in Nascar history and yes I’m even including the 3 car Earnhardt lovers. The 43 has been around from the beginning always used by the Petty’s. Sorenson’s last 4 years were with the Chip Ganassi team in the 41 car. To me it seemed the Ganassi team never had the equipment for Sorenson to contend for a win. In his 4 years with them he did manage to get 5 top 5’s and 13 top 10 finishes but never did win a race. I thought when Ganassi hired Juan Pablo Montoya things even went more down hill for Sorenson because it seemed to me that they were putting all their effort into Montoya’s car and forgetting about Reed’s. I’m happy to see him with Richard Petty Motorsports and I bet he gets the 43 back in the winners circle at least once this season.
