When you realize the first Cars movie was really about Richard Petty
And Jeff Gordon....OH MY GOD...... O______________O
Actually all of NASCAR racers
Yes!
the king is just him in the superbird
Right mind blown
"Everything you don't want to know, about Richard Petty"
-Richard Petty
@Pretty fly for a WiFi why don't you go cry to papa Trump about how your feelings were hurt because he is not a racist like yourself?
@Pretty fly for a WiFi only if you show me where you want him to touch you.
@@avragetrinidadian3787 you know he doesn't even get it anyway.
@Pretty fly for a WiFi you probably want him to do it to you since you seem so keen to find out
@@avragetrinidadian3787 what did he say
Petty is the definition of good 'ol boy. Funny, tough, talented, and genuinely nice.
Bubba's car looks sick too.
I met Richard Petty at his museum last year, he sat and talked to me for a bit, he's a genuinely nice guy.
bro ur lucky
I met him once sometime in 2013 or 2014 at the food city store in gray Tennessee
Richard Petty sounds like the King from the Cars movie🤔.
P.s. he's the voice.
Ps, it's his car if you haven't watched the video.
r/whooooooosh
I didnt know that lmao
@@newmemer8070 his daytona wreck didnt happen in that car though
@@flamingsnake1124 he also drove a superbird not a Daytona
Please never stop this show..... NEVER

Is there an Earnhardt episode? If not there needs to be Donut!!!

they need to do it for dale brother.
Watch DEI come down on it so fast lol
11:36 "How bout we make the car half rid an' half blue?" "...that might werk."
Everything you need to know about Donut Media. Make it happen.
this should have been the million sub episode, maybe the 2mill episode @Donut?
@@KG_BM Or perhaps for the next anniversary of Up To Speed or Donut Media in general
Or it'll be the very last episode, before they stop doing the series.
@@KG_BM funny thing, I was rewatching it last night and showing it to my wife, geat vid. I wasnt crying! you were!
Didnt i see you at adam lz's channel?
The fact that Lee Petty survived that crash is insane
The fact EITHER of them survived their respective crashes is insane...in the same dang race!
@@GeraldCole17 Same event, different races. Richard was on Heat 1 of what we now call the "Gatorade Duels" while Lee was on Heat 2.
Have any of u people seen Geoff Bodine’s crash in the Camping World Truck Series at Daytona in 2000?
The fact that Richard survived his crash at Martinsville when he hit the inside wall and was halfway thrown out of the car is insane. And brought about the first window nets made by none other than Mrs. Petty.
@@DustinBruce31 That was at Darlington.
Dale Earnhardt Sr - Everything You Need to Know / Up To speed (please do that)
Yes
*YES*
RealFarRight dude you ruined it
RealFarRight lol
Pretty fly for a WiFi he has an african american as a driver, hes not gonna be like “screw them”, he loves bubba
It's so awesome that you guys got Mr. Petty himself to help create this video. A true legend whose name will live forever in the hall of racing greatness.
I'm not a fan of NASCAR.
But Petty is a man's man and a badass
Enter Dale Earnhardt
Doin it for Dale WOOOOO
Up to speed: A.Senna please
Aldis Dzerve UP
"If you no longer go for a gap that doesn't exist, you're no longer a racing driver"

Agreed
Yes! Best suggestion I've seen yet
Up to speed: Dale Earnhardt SR
I met Mr. Richard Petty at the Circuit of the Americas. To this day, even in 2023, almost every fan and driver recognized him and he was happy to meet and greet us all. That's a True Champion. That's Greatness.
UP TO SPEED: MICHAEL SCHUMACHER
Can we get Senna as well
Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna!
And Colin McRae!!
Senna first
@@dominiqueglover4978 Fangio first
I live in his home town he still drives around flying around corners it’s pretty cool to see
"he was the best and he was in the best *car* so how could he lose"
That reminds me of something
*Lewis Hamilton*
That's a Hard No , A lot of those races were real Close and Manufactures would not Compete if they didn't think they couldn't Win or if it wasn't fair, unlike Formula 1 .The same could be said with Schumacer Era Ferrari era. MOTOGP best racing series at the moment.
Bad joke
Petty was the richest team at the time, meaning better cars, which means more wins, which is still something that happens today, but it isn’t as bad as F1 by any stretch.
No it was nothing as boring as watching Formula One in any era before him it was Schumacher I could go back to the generations no absolutely not it was never that dreadfully boring there was one year he dominated like that. Other people that had the same equipment. They didn't have the sponsorship. They didn't have Maurice cheating on their engines either🤣
true
Weird growing up around NC. Didn't even realize how intensely popular this guy was until I saw him in Cars as a little boy. I went to level cross elementary school. Petty museum literally walking distance from my house now. My mother had met him and his wife multiple times and I've met him as well. Really a legend.
I believe you are forgetting the GOAT Ricky Bobby
If you ain't first, you last
Aye, carnation.
Shake n’ bake Bobby.
Shake 'n Bake!!!
RIP David Pearson
You got Richard Petty featured in your video, you’ve been helping with advertisements to your audience for NASCAR all week, Donut has officially made it. Have come a long way since that UTS on the Superbird. Congratulations on the success.

Up To Speed: Plymouth Barracuda
My grandma had one as a teen
@@TheblueTraxxasRustler That's a pretty awesome thought.
end of the vidfeo: Kevin hart
Oh you didn't know?
new episode!
It was never mentioned that Richard Petty drag raced a Barracuda for a single year in 1965. IT was because the Hemi was outlawed in Nascar I think.
The story about the number 43 is proof is that there's no such thing as a lucky number. Legends like Richard Petty create their own luck!
Up to speed on Ricky Bobby
all of NASCAR is Ricky Bobby
Slingshot
A fake nascar driver character made up in a writers room for a sub par movie that became semi popular.
Please do Keichii Tsuchiya next
The Drift King himself
good one👏
Oh freaking yes on this one!!!
Yes please
Watch the AE86 episode, I'd still like a full vid on him but they do give a cliff notes version of his bio.
You are the most passionate person I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen anyone cry while telling a story about a car and I love it. You have made me get choked up multiple times just seeing how much it all means to you. Keep up the good work.
I used to work for STP years back and was fortunate to meet the Petty Family. Terrific people.
can't understand that so many complain about the nascar sponsor stuff. GUYS YOU GET THIS HIGH QUALITY CONTENT FOR F R E E! Not one of you would work for free right?

I live 5 houses down from Richard petty, has a huge P on his garage, and a ton of Bel air looking cars along the side of the property... Never seen him leave his house or anyone go in.
luckyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Nice
Because when u go in u can’t leave bc of all the awesomeness
If you don't bring him some corn liquor, I will
Willy Wonka[original movie adaptation]? So much awesomeness inside, he doesn't have to go out?
Ah the good 'ole days of when a Stock car was a Stock car! You look back at what some of these crazy drivers did through the early years and even through the 80s and it's incredible more of them lived long enough to retire! Nice feature piece on the King, keep it up!
For a moment I thought you where telling the whole plot of the movie Cars. Basically Disney took these events to create their story.
Petty was strip weathers in cars.
The entire movie is a love letter to cars
thinking the exact same thing
Its almost like they were....inspired
Make a separate episode each week for drivers!! This was actually better than expected.
I would love one on Jeff Ward, his career is mind-blowing
· Born in Scotland
· Parents moved to the USA when he was like 5
· Age 7, he somehow comes across the team filming the legendary documentary "On Any Sunday". Jeff Ward is the little kid with the #104 minibike.
· He becomes the first AMA Pro rider that already had huge success in minimotos before
· Wins every AMA Motocross and AMA Supercross title possible at the time (125MX, 250MX, 500MX and 250SX), ends up with 7 individual titles
· 7-time Motocross des Nations winner (always with Team USA)
· Moves to the Atlantic Series (Indy Lights nowadays) because he was friends with Canada's own Paul Tracy
· Once the CART/IRL split happens, finds a spot in the IRL
· 3rd in the 1997 Indy 500
· Finally wins an IRL race in 2002 at the Texas Motor Speedway
· In 2003 they told him he wouldn't get an IRL ride witout paying so he quits. Meanwhile, the supermoto craze starts and he ends up testing with Jeremy McGrath (King of Supercross) and Troy Lee (TLD means Troy Lee Designs)
· 2004 (age 43) and 2006 (age 45) AMA Supermoto champion plus 2006 and 2008 (age 47) X-Games Supermoto winner
· 2009 = runner-up to the LOORS Pro-2 championship (trophy trucks but around a track instead of the desert)
· And, most importantly, HE NEVER PAID TO RACE
I’m not surprise. Pumphrey is a great story teller.
I second the Smokey Yunick idea. He is easily the most interesting human in the history of nascrap. Probably one of the most interesting people in the automotive industry period. Lots to weed through though. More time than is worth doing an episode, I'm sure.
*Do an up to speed on the one and only, The Intimidator, Dale Earnhardt.*
yeah the only NASCRAP driver to be continually allowed to stuff the guy in front of him into the wall because he couldn't pass them... many many times. Sorta ironic how DE died...what goes around comes around...........
@@bultacowally that was a grade A pos comment you made
Up To Speed: World Rally Championship
Thay already do a Group B
That's 1/3 of the rally gang, we need Subaru group a love
@@charchuuu K
mr salty :)
One a out Colin McRae perhaps...
I grew up not far from him in North Carolina. As a person he is one of the most respected and genuine people around. His Victory Junction Camp is an absolute amazing program not only for the kids but also for the parents who desperately need a break. Love the King.
🇯🇵 they have Kenchii Tsuchiya, 🇬🇧 they have Colin McRae, 🇺🇸 we have Richard Petty.
Ty Nguyen colin mcrae sucks though, he's overrated
Newy M ?
Travis Pastrana is a better comparison tbh
Nigel Mancel?
🇮🇳 we have #lordragunathan
My dad worked for the Petty's in the late 90's. Said Lee was a tough old SOB he lived beside the race shop and used to talk smack to the pit crews during pit practice. I got to hang around the race shop and went over to the Petty's house a couple of times. They had some of the cars from this video at a small museum at the shop. Stand up group of people especially Richard and Lynda.
You better do Dale Earnhardt Sr. If it’s NASCAR week on Donut Media.
Everyone has done the story of Dale Sr. We all know it already.
David Pinkston yes please he is so much better than petty he was aggressive but petty is good but you have to honor dale
@@juliocruz2981 Not all. Americans do. But someone who lives outside of North America HAS no idea who he is. Sadly.
I do, that's why I started watching not from US of A too
@@sketchybucket6355 Better? Lol. Dale: One Daytona 500 win. Richard: Seven Daytona 500 wins. In case you claim it was easier during Petty's era, multiple driver's won multiple Dayton's 500's during Earnhardt's era and since. It's also a disclaimer that Earnhardt's success was because of his driving style. The majority of his championships didn't come from leading the most laps and winning the most races. His success came from the lack of DNF's during those seasons. Earnhardt was never voted best driver until his death when he became a martyr. In 1999 he was placed behind several drivers in multiple lists behind drivers such as Richard Petty, David Pearson, Bobby Allison, Mario Andretti, and Junior Johnson.
@@jasonwiggins6137 the daytona 500 is a superspeedway track so theres also alot of luck involved. Also petty had far better equipment x10

Richard Petty is a NASCAR veteran. He’s NASCAR royalty. Great video 👍. I liked how James acknowledged the fact that Bubba Wallace is the first African American in 45 years to compete in the Cup’s full schedule. That’s Black excellence.
Petty was friends with Wendell Scott back in the 60s. I think that has a lot to do with Petty wanting to be involved in furthering Bubba's career. Unfortunately, he may be holding him back, though. Long live "King" Richard and the memory of Wendell Scott. Seriously, look up a video about his story. He was a beast and highly respected by other drivers!
Back in the day, a race was INTENTIONALLY taken away from a black driver not to spark a controversy. SMH. Like, wtf?
@@TheFrostyPuma From what I hear they were concerned about a race riot especially when a black man kissed the white trophy girl. (I wonder if that is really what the real concern was) A realistic fear but also an incredible slight to an amazingly skilled driver, owner and mechanic and his family and friends.
@@TheFrostyPuma He was awarded with the win a couple of days later.
@@thejman3489 yes, i know, but the trophy was apparently smaller, no champagne, no real recognition about it. The big part about winning is the glory you get, and the respect, wich he had none of! I do believe, however, NASCAR wasn't at fault. They actually tried to protect him, because again, he was a black stock car driver in the 60's, a reciepie for trouble in the southern part of your America.
I got to meet Richard Petty when I was little, we were at the Richard Petty Museum in Level Cross, North Carolina; he signed my drawing of his own car from the Cars movie and I still hold onto that, he was so nice to us.

Very true
Not close
Ummm I am disappointed in you
Is there any reason Dale Earnhardt chose #3 as his car number?
twistedyogert nascar just assigns them for a fee or something, they dint retire numbers either snd rcr had a priority spot for the 3? idk exactly but that’s kinda why that other dudes runnin it now a days

The whole movie has elements of current Nascar as well as the history. Darrell Waltrip was in the commentators box during both races. Also google "The Fabulous Hudson Hornet".
u didnt know that it was richard petty?
NASCAR is starting to put classic races in their entirety on their YT channel. The quality is amazing and they are a great way to see what is so great about NASCAR and its history.
I love how this channel is blowing up they deserve it. I also saw home boy in a kia advert on ig too

I met him by accident at FOS in the driver's lounge I can say he's a really nice guy
Dale Earnhardt next?
Matt Leeson he should have been first ant then Petty no disrespect to Richard he's great too
A Earnhardt episode would be filled with some amazing stories no doubt.
The intimidator himself.

Maybe on the Earnhardt family?

Not having heard of Richard Petty isn't that unusual
no one outside of America really knows anything about Nascar

It really isn't hard to believe that someone outside of the states doesn't know our most legendary drivers when we don't even know theirs.
