Wow...Richard is probably the ONLY person still alive who attended that first NASCAR "Strictly Stock" race in 1949. When he passes, a lot of the sport's history will be lost forever. These sessions will be watched for generations.

[@waynebowen3133]

The greatest family in racing love y'all

[@FrankF-vp4pt]

I enjoy hearing the stories. Mr. Petty I have been a fan of since I was a kid. Thank you.

[@LongIslandMopars]

Same here

[@andyhamilton8940]

They worked their tails off and achieved the American dream! Go Petty’s!

[@billyp333]

This is amazing to listen to Richard Petty......please have him back

[@Tshade67]

The King and the Chief are national treasures! Thanks for putting these videos together, they are the best out there!

[@MrMarthasville]

Mark Petty said it best. "I'm just enjoyin it".

[@kevinanderson89]

Please have THE KING back. He was/is my childhood hero. Never out grow your childhood heroes

[@rickstrawbridge892]

This is terrific. I am a lifelong fan of the King and the entire Petty family. Saw my first NASCAR race in 1958 on the beach at Daytona when I was 6 years old. You guys are great! ❤

[@jamesmcintire3800]

I could listen to Richard Petty tell racing stories all day. He is such an amazing guy

[@jimlafreeda43]

I can't wait to make our annual pilgrimage to see The King and the Petty Museum 💙🏁

[@PettyFamilyRacing]

We can't wait to see you!

[@bobbybelcher6800]

what a privilege to see you guys all together. I enjoy it so much ! I've been a Petty fan for over 50 years !

[@hotrodswoodshed7405]

I LOVE ❤these grass roots story's. I love that yal sound like regular NC country folk... not some polished boring homogenized announcer. This all has the feeling of talking with my gramps that grew up 15-20 miles north of daytona... Chester Mckenzie (cheif) 1926-2013. He told me he helped to push dirt (running a dozer) to help build the turns on daytona speedway. And his limited time of youth hanging around bill France on the beach course. It took all them to make that sport happen. Yalls story's hit home. Fantastic stuff!

[@marshalllaw2865]

I never met Richard but feel like I have a time or 2. He waved from the golf cart on State St. We all hollered and cheered

[@user-kb9mu7ym9x]

Fellas y’all are awesome!! Keep doing what you are doing. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@55Reever]

I could listen all day long!

[@caseylee4266]

Ive idolized that man ever since i can remember, just wish like mad i could've met him while visiting the museum, but glad i got to meet Mark for a breif moment, keep thie up boys, i love it

[@robertrice3343]

Excellent video as always. Always enjoy Richard talking about the Golden Years of NASCAR. Would love to hear the stories about Petty Enterprises going to Ford in 1969 and back to Plymouth for the 1970 season.

[@AmericanFlyOnTheWall]

This old, retired NC boy is enjoying this series from the Philippines! Long live the Pettys.

[@PettyFamilyRacing]

Awesome! If you ever make it back to NC, come visit the Petty Museum in Level Cross.

[@nathanielwaters6730]

Wow, just to see all you Guys 2gether, is truly amazing!!! I met a Richard Petty fan 2day at my work, I noticed his 43 hat, he noticed my Sunglasses, these are Cool Ray Polaroid Roadmaster 300 Sunglasses that Richard Petty wore during the '70s and early part of the '80s!!! I have ten pairs, I'd like to get a pair signed by the KING, himself!!! I like to get to the Petty Museum sometime this new year!!! I also have the Charlie One Horse Hat modeled after Richard Petty, when I was talking with Bonnie Davis, Museum Supervisor over the phone when I purchased the Hat, Richard was signing at the same time!!! What a day that was!!! Mopar Nate Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

[@evdallas123]

That's awesome I love listening to the king his memory is incredible and you never hear the same story twice long live the king he is the goat!

[@Eddie1986corvette]

Really enjoy the history you guys are sharing with us fans of Richard Petty, I have been a fan for over 50 years. Keep this up.

[@roberthill2219]

I want to know about the aero wars... the black top road runner, the Torinos and Chargers, the switch to Ford, the Superbird and how Petty Enterprises became the factory racing parts dealer...how Pete Hamilton and Buddy Baker wound up as team drivers and then Dale Earnhardt being the test driver for the Kit Car program...

[@verlmccown9428]

The Atocha Spanish galleon was the greatest treasure find in history I’m so glad Richard has a piece of 8 from the wreck f the Atocha.

[@JeremiahJohnson-bw9gi]

[@ronaldconner5571]

I have been a DIEHARD PETTY FAN for about 50 years, or more. Love this channel,keep the stories coming. I have a piece of paper( popcorn box ) that Richard autographed on one side,and, Benny Parsons the other side. My older brother got it when he went to South Boston Speedway. I think it was 1971,Benny won, Richard was second,I think. We still live very close to the race track.Maybe I can bring it to the museum one day.

[@amycollins9657]

Museum is AWESOME ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@joshuahamilton6217]

Love your guy's channel I got hooked into NASCAR by my Daddy watching it every Sunday I remember watching the king run his last race I was 8 years old and at that time I didn't know how big of a deal it was but looking back now I'm so glad I got to watch that as it happened on TV. But now watching all the stories that have been made over the years from that race I'm glad I got to see that Tore up car make one last lap the car actually looked pretty cool with no front clip on it. Last thing you guy's are doing a great job with this channel I'm 40 years old now and appreciate hearing about all the history and back stories on everything.....

[@darrelkinney9856]

Cool video like that you guys are doing these videos.

[@gregmcfadden8505]

This is really cool an something a ol race fan never thought would happen ....a small way to just to say something to the King . I belive it was 1998 when Richard was Grand Marshall at flemington speedway craftsman truck race Steve Biel 200. I got your picture from the grandstands ...your about 2mm size in picture but the hat is 2mm across so cant deny its not you . Got Buddy Bakers autograph that day on my ticket stub ..still got it .....buddy baker ...i know who tought Dale ....ol 6'4 leadfoot baker thats who ...king of speed ..heck king of Goodyear's tire testing . I miss ol Flemington Speedway...if you dig under the floor of Walmart..you can still see it

[@PettyFamilyRacing]

Thank you for the story!

[@GregorySovine-bt9hj]

Just discovered this and now subscribed. This is awesome guys. I love the history side of NASCAR and certainly no one has more of it than your family.

[@claymillican25]

These videos are amazing!!!

[@PettyFamilyRacing]

Glad you think so!

[@tomthomson9354]

I have really enjoyed the interaction between you and Kyle and also with Richard. Im hoping more of these are coming down the road. Keep up the great work. I like forward to Monday nights after work, because i know im in for a treat, no matter what you all talk about.

[@merlehouse782]

RIP ADAM 45 LIVE FOR EVERY 43

[@paulflowers5497]

Love hearing these awesome stories

[@macsmith-cg6wg]

All l can say That organization was absolutely amazing to keep going after the 59 Daytona 500. Just think how many different lives Petty Racing changed over the years. The number of people that came in and worked and left and went with other teams and the families that were affected by starting at Petty and then going elsewhere. Simply AMAZING 👍👏

[@LongIslandMopars]

Would love to drive my 74 Charger down there with its 43 stickers on full display.😊

[@2xrpm]

Really good stuff!

[@bobpratt8224]

Really enjoyed hearing the stories from the King himself!

[@SurlyriderBilly]

I agree with Ritchie, I respect the King much more knowing how hard they worked. These boys driving now days don’t have a clue

[@karenkoe7096]

Get Richard back on anytime you can. Same with Kyle and even Dale Inman. Enjoy all of them but Richard is a treasure trove of NASCAR history and as much of it as can be recorded needs to be.

[@jeremystory6981]

DaGON,,,SON OF GUN,,,,,,STP,,,,, Slick 50 words the king 👑

[@brianreynolds7859]

I’m enjoying ever video you all are putting out. Keep em coming.

[@dustyburner]

Great content guys. Really appreciate what you are doing.

[@jeffatkinson6848]

keep it up

[@airbosn9950]

The one question I have and maybe The King can answer is on his convertible it says Squirrel Jr. and on Mr. Petty’s it says Squirrel and I’m just curious about the background on that.

[@elijames3041]

Hay guys

[@edglass9912]

I’m really enjoying watching! Could you please share with me, and I don’t mean this in any kind of negative manner, but did Richard ever serve in the military, if not could you please share. Thanks so much!! Ed from Lynchburg

[@Baldeaglemike]

👍👍

[@pauliefromphilly]

Uncle Richard

[@jeffatkinson6848]

its in a frame under glass to save it from wear and tear

[@curtisdellinger6743]

I would like to know about the towel he always had in his mouth, what is the story behind it

[@PettyFamilyRacing]

Soaked in water, kept his mouth moist.

[@user-bd5nh5eb4b]

I keep hearing younger guys saying Dale Earnhardt was the greatest driver ever . Are these fellows blind to twenty years of history? No disrespect to Dale but Richard Petty is and always will be the greatest driver in history.❤

[@GregorySovine-bt9hj]

He hasn't aged in 20 years lol

[@kurtthorpe7659]

Hes the king👑

[@Mike-og3xb]

100%, and tough as boot leather.
