The King | Full interview with Richard Petty

'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

[@briananderson7742]

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.

[@patrickbrannon1325]

Hasn’t raced since 1992 and still doing interviews about his career and life. It shows how great he truly is as a man and was as a driver

[@sergeantmasson3669]

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

I met King Richard from I was 8 years old (1967). I stood in line for his autograph after a race. 2 Hours after other drivers had left King Richard was still signing! That is how much he appreciated the fans. I raced bicycles mini-bikes back then. I was always Richard Petty. What a classy gentleman!!!

[@htalbott1899]

The King for ever

[@darrelkinney9856]

That’s cool video I’ve always liked Richard , haven’t had the chance to get to meet with him. Like the hat he wears , have a cousin that went to school with Adam at randelman Hs . His mom my aunt lives down the road from victory junction campground. Glad to see Richard looking good , thanks for lots of excitement in racing.

Do you know he has signed his name more time than anyone else? It cant be proven, but who else could it possibly be. Let me know.

[@Ezisnotaman]

Maybe Garth Brooks?

[@saddletramp6935]

@@Ezisnotaman you've got to kidding. Even garth has Richard's autograph. Does he sign everyone in line? Richard does. Also he's been signing since the late 50s before garth boy was born.

Garth once spent 24 hours straight, signing autographs at Fan Fair. He is one of the biggest country stars on the planet and has performed all over the world. He's up there. Calm down.@@saddletramp6935

audio is horrible

[@TheJoeshExperience]

Music is too loud and Richard is too quiet.

[@thankyou_ross]

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

[@wayne4347]

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.

[@DanPark68]

Just keep that kid Kyle quiet 🤫 dang he's annoying

[@sergeantmasson3669]

No mention of how many times that he cheated in NASCAR, though.

[@warrenchambers4819]

That'd be every race. If you'd ever ran a race car you'd understand that. 1st yr we ran the car was by the rule book and we got lapped. Only after getting some "rule bending" tips from guys that ran up front did we start winning some races.

[@sergeantmasson3669]

@@warrenchambers4819 I/we raced in three pro-level series, NASCAR, NHRA, and NETRA, and we never did "bending the rules," nonsense. 250 wins and three class championships. No evidence that Dale Earnhardt Sr ever cheated either and he earned 7 NASCAR Cup series Championships. Jimmie Johnson and Richard Petty damn sure did some cheating as did Jeff Gordon and several others. Ray Evernham and Chad Knause were the most cheating crew chiefs in NASCAR history. Dale Sr's early years, he built his own race cars. Later, in his career, he checked every aspect of his race cars himself. Anything not right, got corrected or he'd refuse to drive it. His '98 Daytona 500 car is a prime example of that. Dale Sr got irritated with Larry Mac, and crew, until they made that car right. He would later say that was the best racecar that he ever drove. Today, "bending the rules" no longer works anymore.
