No one in NASCAR will ever win 200 races ever again. There will always be just 1 King Richard Petty. That tall shifter just makes me think of the old Rat Fink Ed Roth artwork. Memories of the old days.

Great vid ! It would be nice if you could get Richard to do his own steering wheel wrap in black tape like he used to. After they went to removable steering wheels, sometimes i watched Richard setting on the pit wall, carefully wrapping his steering wheel in between practices or whenever,contented as can be.
