BIO:
Richard Petty nicknamed "The King" is an American former stock car
racing driver who competed from 1958 to 1992 in the former NASCAR Grand
National and Winston Cup Series (now called the NASCAR Cup Series), most
notably driving the No. 43 Plymouth/Pontiac for Petty Enterprises. He is one of
the members of the Petty racing family. He was the first driver to win the Cup
Series championship seven times (a record now tied with Dale Earnhardt and
Jimmie Johnson), while also winning a record 200 races during his career. This
included winning the Daytona 500 a record seven times and winning a record 27
races in one season (1967).
He
was inducted into the inaugural class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2010. He is
also statistically, one of the most accomplished driver in the history of
NASCAR, having racked up most wins (200), most poles (123), tied for most
championships (seven), most wins in a season (27), most Daytona 500 wins
(seven), most consecutive wins (10) and most starts (1,185).
He
earns broad respect in motorsport where beyond driving, he remains very active
as both a team ambassador (Legacy Motor Club) in the Cup Series and owner of
Petty's Garage (a car restoration and modification shop) in Level Cross, North
Carolina. During his 35-year career, Petty collected a record number of poles
(123) and over 700 top 10 finishes in a record 1,184 starts, including 513
consecutive starts from 1971 to 1989. Petty was the first driver to win in his
500th race start, being joined by Matt Kenseth in 2013.
The
Richard Petty Museum was formerly in nearby Randleman, North Carolina, but
moved back to its original location in Level Cross in March 2014. Petty has
also voiced a role in Disney's animated films Cars and Cars 3, playing Strip
"The King" Weathers, a character partially based on himself.
