Out of the pit, onto the track, and across the finish line—here are the life and times of Richard Petty, the man universally acclaimed as the king of stock car racing, a legend in his own time.
This is Petty's incredible story as he tells it himself. Ride in the driver's seat for the thrills and glories of NASCAR Grand National stock car racing.
See Petty's famous red and blue Dodges built in the shop and tested at the track. Share with Richard the camaraderie of life on the road, the loneliness of qualifying, the rivalry with competitors David Pearson, Bobby Allison, Cale Yarborough.
And agonize with the King as he sweats out the countdown, miraculously survives his worst crash, suffers in defeat, and exults in victory. Nineteen years of racing —nearly 180 wins—$2 million in prize money: it's enough triumph and disaster for ten lifetimes. And it's all here, in Richard's own words.
