Tweek for CPTV!

In the later part of Penghardt's career, he had been unable to recapture what he had done in his famous 1998 season, where he won his 7th championship. In 1999, he had a big time wreck in the SPC 500, walking away with minor injures. In 1999, he had a mixed year with 1 win, and finished 6th in standings. People called out that due to his age, he should retire, Penghardt rejected that, and went on to continue for the 2000 season, where he set the season on fire. He was able to be in the top 10 in every race, and qualify in the top 5, gaining 2 wins, but due to the consistency of another driver, he fell short of the championship, finishing 2nd, 117 points behind the champion Bob LeBonte.
