I'm pretty sure Richard Petty is not going to wait a hour just to meet you. More like you waited an hour to meet Richard Petty. He was signing autographs fir other people.
Great video! So impressive and Richard could not have been more accommodating. What a class act! Wonder how much Richard made STP over the years. To this day, he’s the first thing I think of when I see an STP product.
I've known who Richard Petty was since I was probably seven or eight years old I'm 53 now yeah I know time flies yada yada but in my opinion to me was one of the most nicest guys you could ever meet and just an all-around great guy God bless Richard Petty
‼️‼️I live right across the street from the church that Richard attends,I see him quite often on Sunday mornings,I’ve been a fan of Richard since I was in the 3rd grade,I’m 62 now, I’ve holler howdy to Richard when he was walking back to his car at church,and he always waved back and said hi 👋,nice friendly gentleman.
Awesome footage of the King Matt. I wish I could get more involved in racing other than being a fan of it everyday. :) A tour with the King: Priceless.
Most winningest driver in NASCAR history. Jeff Gordon came close and so did David Pearson . Petty set a lot of records and most he was driving Dodge or Plymouth. That era was big motors and big balls . No power steering and flying over 200 mph . Petty was first to innovate many safety equipment in the race cars which NASCAR later mandated. Great video. Awesome and great man that has a lot of knowledge
The reason they have safety nets is because of a crash at Daytona I believe his head it the ground multiple times and that's when they finally made it mandatory to have them.
You inspired me.In the 60s I built every model of your cars.By 67 I was tearing em down and rebuildin.Like the Pontiac blocks them all.Rotiserrin a 72 Formula.The few of the strike left .350 can be turned into good motor .Its done.Now the 70 455 is on the plate.
Almost bought a New , light blue Dodge Dart w/ 340ci 4speed , roll cage ..no radio + #43 on exterior of Petty Dodge production car of 500 was made ... but dad didn’t want to co-sign ...grrr!!!! That had to be late 60s to early 70s era. The motor was speciality tune , street/track tires , all Petty badges , tuned exhaust system & loud for public buyers.
They don’t make em like Richard any more! A true American legend!We love you Richard 🫡
He seems like a nice guy. I’m not much of a NASCAR guy, but it always refreshing to see famous people be friendly and humble.
I met Richard when I was a kid, he waited an hour just to meet me. And he was very nice and friendly.
Same I met him in 2018
I met him this year even got a picture with him

I hope King Richard lives FOREVER, he & his grandson Adam, are the reasons I moved from Alaska to North Carolina
But his grandson Adams died during his second race during practice.

@@christopherwinter2099 That was his Darlington crash in 1970.
After that, Richard's mom hand made him a window net.
Then, all the drivers followed.

Someone PLEASE sit Richard down with David Pearson before it is TOO LATE
David Pearson had a stroke a few years ago and hasn't made any public or media appearances since.
Pearson died last week

Seeing Adam's car's brought tears of my eyes.
hearing the king speaking is so fucking legendary
It was fun when I did research on The King for English used this has a source as it had some fine information.
Richard you did it all wow that's impressive
Living Legend.....
I wonder what brand of dip Richard was running in this interview?
Mountain got me son. Was all about Richard, then he pissed me off. lol..But
PROUD To have been his fan for decades.
Wow this was 5years ago?
Was that the 381.983 cu engine or a legal 358cu in that 1983 car?
4:30 His Daytona 500 car did.
