    I know we have talked about this before in a thread, but NASCAR.com posted this story yesterday with a pretty neat pic of King Richard and his drag car.
    Enjoy

          No mention about Petty's drag racing event win.

          He won B/Altered in the car at an AHRA national event.

          That accident must still haunt him.

              the pettys were involved with roy hill for a long time

              His first race car was a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner, which is not surprising since Petty Enterprises was only a few miles from his house. Soon after Roy began racing, Maurice Petty and Petty Enterprises were doing his engine work.

                Roy worked for those guys.

                I hung out with him in the tower at Epping during the IHRA event this year. He's a true character!
