  • 'The King' of NASCAR - like you've never seen him before. Richard Petty opens up about the loss of his wife and grandson, his Daytona 500 crash, what he wishes he'd done differently as a father as Kyle was coming up in the NASCAR world, and so much more.
    After 75 years of Petty Enterprises, 'The King' of NASCAR says the legacy behind the Petty name...won't be racing.

    So glad he has continued to be blessed with good health. He's shown generations how to be humble and respectful

    That was a great interview. I grow up a Richard fan. We went to fan club meetings in Pocono every for about 8 years straight. He is one of the nice's guys you will every meet. He would sign autographs and take photos with each and everyone of his fans for hours and hours straight. He never left early, he stayed until everyone got the autograph and photo. The interviewer asked him how you wanted to be remember. I will remember him for being an really great guy.

    I met Richard in the pits at Daytona about 2005 o 2006…. He was just as polite as he is in this interview. It’s nice when a person doesn’t let success go to their heads.

      @patrickbrannon1325, When Dale Sr re-joined RCR, in 1984, Richard Petty stopped winning NASCAR races.

    Kenny BIG FAN! Hey, if you were a “regular guy” and “regular mom” and you had an unlimited gas pump at your house - how often would you stop (or have to) for gas? In general, with EV’s you would only go to a gas station for vacations or road trips, right. (hey I watch every episode - but I would I send you an email?). thx

    This man made all his money from racing Chryslers. As far as I'm concerned switching over to Toyota He's just a traitor he let Toyota pay him off for his name to put two more cars in the Daytona 500 that are Toyota's I hope he never wins another race as long as he lives he's a traitor enjoy all that money that Toyota gave you that's all you're ever going to get.
