I don't think you truly know how much this content means to us ..the next generation of kids would never find NASCAR history like this.. from the bottom of my heart thank you.

RIP Maurice!! The Petty family gave so much to the sport! All National Treasures!

Maurice (The Chief) was the man back in the day, building those Hemi's for the King, and winning Championship's.

Petty Bro’s seem like salt of the earth. Great video hopefully you can do more historic videos with those guys.

Pay attention here folks. Mitchell out here documenting history for the rest of us. This is so badass.

Great video 👍 There is only one way to exhibit history and that's with the genuine items and the people who lived it. The Petty Brothers are fine examples of Chief's accomplishments. This level of respect and dedication are uncommon traits in today's world.

Can you imagine how big of a building you would need to show off all the artifacts in just one shop like that?

YES! A comprehensive history of Chrysler racing engines! The early Hemi stuff like the Ray Nichols Firestone Indy car, the 300 NASCAR program and definitely a trip to Florida to see Don Garlits! It's time that you did more drag stuff as well, the H-M GT40 content was awesome and proves that your viewers want more then just NASCAR history! There is a massive group of people in the Indianapolis area working together to preserve Indy and Sprint car history. The SRVA Trans Am guys are incredible. Maybe you should even go check out the Southeast Gassers bunch (Quain and his guys are some of the nicest people in drag racing) the next time they race at Mooresville... This format is a winner and the two of you are CHAMPIONS!!!

I love and appreciate all the things we get to discovered about the history of Nascar. I want to see more historical nascar places and the people behind them.

Cool to see the "Lesser discussed" part of the Petty legacy featured. I've knew Ritchie Petty drove, but I think that this is the first time that I have ever seen him.

Yes!! More with the Petty Brothers! This is great stuff, thanks.

You have done such a good service to the sport and its fans! For all of us that came up through this era, Thank you!!

This has to be one of my favorite videos so far. So much history. I love it!

I am 77 and I really appreciate what you two are doing to not only show us all the behind scenes shops but to preserve the history of what it takes to build a engine, rebuild a engine and race car. Thanks.

Amazing! Absolutely please do more with the brothers. Their vibe And stories are great!

Can't want for this, another page in nascar history, way to go Mitchell and Logan.

This video could have been 3 hours long and I'd have been glued to it. That was very cool.

“We don’t know what we’ve got. We just know it’s what we grew up with.” That is what makes these videos so great. Don’t stop.

Iam 43 and grew up in the 90s, but NASCAR never interested me although I would watch some races. Since I started watching your channel, I realized how much NASCAR is a part of my memories. I just want to think the both of you for doing such content! I really enjoy watching your channel as I have not missed a video. I usually watch on the TV but I came to my phone to make a comment as per your request. Thanks again keep up the good work! 90s kid.

I love how Logan lurks in the background of these videos and finds cool stuff, and then without talking you slide over and get a shot of it in the middle of a conversation like at 5:14. This is super pro. You guys have talent and work awesome together. Btw, we know that she knows way more than she lets on........

Would love more videos on these brothers!

I went to my first NASCAR race at 10 years old with my father and uncle. Both big race fans. That was the 1965 Firecracker 400 I think. So I grew up a rabid race fan. NASCAR, NHRA, and Indycar. My grandfather was a carbuilder/mechanic for several of the Indy guys and introduced me to AJ Foyt and Mario Andretti when he took me to his garage in Gasoline Alley. My mind is still blown. He somehow got to let me drive his old Chevy Elcamino around the track. I was 13 at the time🙃. So the Pettys, Jr Johnson, and the Wood Brothers truly are THE Legends of NASCAR! Auto racing and technology have changed so much over the years. So it's really great to see how they did it back in the day. That dyno in particular was cool. Back then dynos were like rocket science to me and not many even knew what they were🙂

You are preserving hist😢 that will soon be only passed in words. Videos such as this bring that history to life for future generations.❤

Dude I live in Greensboro and have always wanted to see and hear the history of the petty garage. Loving all these history videos you've been dropping keep it up dude truly enjoying them.

I’m been around racing for 40 some odd years mostly dirt cars but always kept up with nascar racing love watching your videos a lot of things I see I remember seeing those cars and haulers back in the day I’m now 60 years young and still messing with cars I build a lot of short track engines for the local racers ! You never get to old to appreciate this stuff thanks so much for what you do ! Thanks you Brian Huron Maysville Ky !

I love the sibling passive arguments in the middle of the conversation it's so cool to watch em talk about it

Keepin the dream alive!.......Im a '57 model from Spokane WA.......Grew up around many racers in the area, thunder boats, roundy rounders and straightliners!

Love the Petty brothers episode. Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s Richard was my favorite driver in stock cars . You and your wife help an old guy relive his youth through you great explorations of NASCAR history and past . Keep up the great job .looking for your next new video of a day gone by

What a great place to visit!! Love the history you guys are able to present and the people and the stories that go along with them, fantastic!! Cheers!

Maurice Petty Was Iconic Engine Builder For Chevrolet Engine From The 70s 80s And Early 90s Before Randy Dorton Hendrick Motorsports Orginal Petty Enterprises Thanks For Uploading

PB has that surface shield stuff now lol 👍👍 good stuff. Just wish I'd shaken it up more

Wow is the perfect response and all I could also utter throughout the video. Thanks to you guys and the Petty Brothers for the awesome video! BTW I've been watching their videos for a while now and those guys are so down to earth and seem like great people. Their stories and guests are what Nascar and racing used to be and unfortunately never will be again.

Good Gawd Maude! You guys have topped yourselves again. The memorabilia in that place alone would make a great museum if they weren’t still using it. I love this stuff!

I'm 53, born in 1969. Richard was always my favorite for as long as I can remember. In 1974 I got the petty charger model car by mpc and dad and me built it together. Still have it. In 1975 and 1976 we stayed in the infield at Michigan International Speedway here where we live in Detroit. I remember forcing my little self thru the crowd with the old instamatic camera and snapped a pic of Richard's cars door with the 43 on it. I remember watching live the Donny Allison/Cale Yarborough fight on tv. So many memories. I'm much more of a drag racer in life, but more than anything ive always been an engine guy. Retired now as a mechanic, actually on disabilíty as I'm going blind among other problems. Petty Enterprises has always been right up at the top of my love of shops. They used to take quite a few pics around that place for magazines and such and it was always interesting how all their work was done in house and Maurice run the show. As cars go my main love is Oldsmobiles so Lee Petty officially winning the 1959 Daytona first race at that track in an Oldsmobile played a part as well in my love for all they have done with the Petty name. I could go on and on with this stuff but just gave a condensed version of why I love this vid you made.

I visited the old shop in 66 (I believe).. it was the week after Richard was running at Bristol and he was in 1st place and had to get Paul Goldsmith to relieve him because of a neck injury he sustained a few weeks earlier at Daytona.. Paul lost the lead and they finished 2nd place... Lots of memories there...

Your channel is the Nascar I Love and if it wasn't for what You Both do this history would be lost. Thank You. My Dad was able to talk to Maurice one time and He really enjoyed it and was a highlight He would tell us about. I didn't know there was another Petty brother to Lee and raced.

I would love to see more dodge history! The r engines always fascinated me. I know the la and magnum small blocks but I want to know more about the race engines

I grew up and still live about 4mi from the Level Cross shops. Been in the old Richard shops many times. Many old race cars(Superbirds, etc.)are stored there. There's even an old flat-nose big rig hauler w/a large Dodge emblem in the grill. Never seen another before or since. We grew up with it all right there, so for us, it becomes common place. We also know though, it's kind of a big deal from an outside perspective.

I got to meet Lee Petty back in the late 70's early 80's. I worked for a Jacobson Distributor out of Shelby NC doing field service work and Lee called in and wanted someone to repair his Jacobsen putting greens mower. I went to the garage and they directed me to his house right beside the shop. He came to the door and showed me his putting green behind the house. I repaired the recoil starter on the mower and tuned it up for him. The mower was a walking mower (22 inch if my memory serves me correctly) and it had a small clutch bell housing right beside the motor that engaged the reel and the traction rollers. I showed Lee that you could simply put your foot on the bell housing and start it with out using the pull starter. He really like that.

Thank you for preserving NASCAR history ❤🏁

Wow feels like I just met some of the petty family myself, through this video. The questions and conversation you keep make the 40+ min video feel like 10 mins. I was just hoping the video didn’t end! Well done!

I remember Ritchie drove in that Talladega race where Neil Bonnett wrecked and Jimmy Horton went over the wall. That was a race that stuck out in my mind with all the carnage, it was what drove my fascination with NASCAR.

Im 76 and enjoy it all . Mississippi here , the Lake Speed story especially great ! Keep on keepin on !

I'd love to see the R5 engine story and I'd also love to see more, more, more of the Petty Brothers!!! Their channel is great but the videos are way too short, could listen to them stories all day!!!

Definitely YES on an R5 build!! Not enough good videos on the R5's p7's and p9's. Even R3's would be great even some what low buck LA with W series heads would be cool!! Thanks again you guy's for another great one!

Man this stuff needs to be in a fire proof room. So much priceless history in one building.

I really don’t think you understand how much these videos mean to people like us to see the history of how things got done back in the im a fan of this channel keep up the good work I’m 60 years old and when Dale died I almost give up on the sport and it is a sport thanks man I been binge watching all day today and you have just about got me through the winter thanks

Another great video on racing history ! The Petty brothers seem like very cool guys. You should do more content with them. Love your channel !

These guys taking the time to tell the history and also share what they do today is priceless...I am addicted to this channel now and love the guy's that are willing to tell everything they tell...Thank you !!

At this point I am commenting to support, all these videos from driver conversations, and NASCAR/car history to rebuilds to buying your own Busch car... Excellent quality, enthusiasm and in depth. Quality

Wow this video is priceless history. I'm a Petty too. My bunch is from TN. But back in the day when the people immigrated to this country we all came from the NC area. I've been asked all my life if I'm related to the king. And deep down ive wondered if we're all distant kin, being our name isn't a common name and we all came form NC. Who knows.....being a gear head all my life I feel like I have more in common with their bunch than I do my petty bunch in TN. Haha

This again is some great stuff, keep up the great work guys!

And once again you guys knocking it out of the park. Well done. Big fan of the Petty Family. Keep up the hard work of the history, I'm loving it. 👍🏁🏁🇺🇸

This channel has made nascar interesting to me, I love the stories and the mechanics behind the race cars more than the actual race day.

Always been a Richard Petty fan! My first race was Atlanta in 1971 and was a win by Petty for the first Cup driver to go over a million dollars in career winnings. I have a Maurice Petty crew shirt from probably late 70 's or early 80's.Also have some sheetmetal from Richard's cars and the whole side of his 43 truck series car. driven by Carlos Contreres.

Another great video by you, I’d be extremely interested to see even more in depth of this technology/history videos. No matter what brand manufacturer / team. This is GREAT.

I would like to see a R5 build. Great video I always look forward to see more videos from y’all

Remember watching Petty in 50s and 60s, cool to see this!

Watching from the great deep freeze, Canada. I was watching this episode on cast to a t.v from my phone. I heard you ask, so I picked up my phone and began writing this comment. I'm not a big NASCAR fan. Can't say I've ever watched a full race. I had the die-cast toys and built a couple of model kits when I was a kid. I know more big names from than 90's than I do of current racers. Why do I watch your channel? The answernis simple - We are both car people. We both appreciate the history or motorsports. I'm a big NHRA fan. The history crosses over in a lot of ways, the HEMI is an example. I'm a huge Mopar fan as well. The competitive nature, the engineering, pushing the envelope, that is what gets our hearts, racing. Love your channel. You incorporate past and present very well. The interviews, shop tours...those are priceless. These things, people, the stories, they won't be around forever. Surely not first hand accounts. Thank you for sharing it with us. Time stamp - 1987.

AWESOME! Cannot wait for this episode! Going to be great as they always are..!!😎

Keep knocking these out of the park. Thanks to both of you

I went to the shop in Randleman back in the early 70s, Lees house was next door. Richard's house was across the road. My uncle took me because of his job had him going to do work close by. We had just missed seeing Richard because he had just left on his motorcycle.

This was a COOL video! I'm a diehard Earnhardt fan, but this video was very instructional about the engine building side of Petty Enterprises! Has a lot of cool "old" stuff that without this video, I would never had known about Maurice! He was very innovative and smart! Video was very interesting and knowledgeable! Thanks for sharing.

You two outdid yourselves with this video, how cool is that! Was out of town the last few days and just now getting caught up, glad to see your video in here, and sorry I missed it when you posted this, was on the road driving. I appreciate these history lessons about NASCAR that you & Logan bring us on a regular basis, and you know you all have my support and I'm there with you! Thank you so much! You guys rock!

My Dad began working for Chrysler back in 1965. Many of those HEMI blocks the Petty's used; he would truck to the Chrysler Headquarters in Highland Park (MI). From there, Chrysler shipped them directly to Petty. Dad was told by the Chrysler Execs if he spoke about those blocks to anyone, he could look for another job! Back in those days, engine secrets were like ICBM launch codes today. Our family was excited when Dodge came back to NASCAR in 2001. As a kid in the 70's in Michigan, we all knew the name Richard Petty. To see a Petty Dodge back on the track was awesome! As far as the Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge racing history, you could write an encyclopedia about it. Love to see those videos!

Love the information. I learned more here than watching nascar with the family every weekend since 1960. Keep up the great work. Dale SR.. DO IT FOR DALE.

Fantastic tour ..!!! I am 63 now living in Palo Alto CA.

Awesome stuff! Keep doing it! Logan and Mitchell, you guys do great videos!!

Awesome job!!!! Thank you for documenting the history man.

I am a sixty-two-year-old retired machinist and thought this KZfaq was very cool and interesting thank you much for bringing it on

So much information. I have been around racing since the 1960’s. I was a big petty fan growing up . I was born in 1949 the same year Nascar started racing. I would enjoy seeing more of this history. I learned a lot today. Thanks for sharing.

great video , more on the Pettys would be great Mitch . I look forward to you two having your own shop on some land complete with wood panelling one day

I became a Petty fan when I was 10 years old in 1975. He won the Daytona 500 that year and as a kid, that car looked soo fast in that day glow red and Petty blue. It's a great service to the long time Petty fans, that you and the Petty brothers provide in these behind the scenes documentaries. Thank you.

Going thru the archives, im 60yrs young, Dale was my driver. But Richard was king, classy... Love all your content.. Waiting to see hrs of time-lapse of Mustang home build..👍💯🔥💪

I vote for Dodge/Mopar engine history video!

Hell yes on an in depth dodge engine history video, actually hell yes to any engine video!!!

❤❤❤❤❤ I am from Taiwan 🇹🇼 and I am loving it all Thanks for going through all the old and new things!!!

“We are the Petty Bros.” This may just be my favorite Video yet. They are the real deal and I have a feeling business is going to start Booming for them.

I feel your love for Nascar. I have a photo of me standing on the trailer hauling Fireball Roberts Darlington when I was about

Really like seeing the old hemi's are still getting worked on. If you went thru that shop, you could probably find a pretty good engine and all the pieces. Thanks!!

Be great to see more Petty Brothers, I'm from 66 but there wasn't much aired here and where I lived we only had ABC Australian ,Chanel and 7 a local Chanel in Narracoort, but got to see some of it in Adelaide, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones

I love all these old historic locations you take us to! I came up on NASCAR from around 83 til the present. Started attending races around 1991, so thats my timestamp.

The callback and first-hand description of the cork screw driveshaft had me rollin! thanks for sharing!

i would watch anything to do with the Petty family. I remember Lee and Richard racing each other several times. my grandfather was a Lee Petty fan, and I was a Richard petty fan. Richard is my hero!

So good of you to go back in time and relive the stories with these legends from nascar thank you guys so much

This is awesome. Plain and simple. I got to meet Richard, Dale Inman, and Marice in 1992 at the 1st Brickyard tire test. Neat guys. I'm down to buy a Richie Petty shirt please and thank you 😊 Who else wants one?

Grew up watching NASCAR races with my Dad in the 90's and listening to the MRN radio broadcasts on our way to the local Flea Market.

All of that old stuff is cooi. I'm glad you get to go find this stuff and bring it to surface. Thank You

I'm 63 and grew up watching Nascar all my life. In my days it was Richard Petty, the Allisons, Yarlborough, the Wood Brothers, Junior Johnson, all the original drivers.

Born in 87 End of Gen 3 - Start of Gen 4 was my "time stamp." I have vague memories of being around NASCAR betwen 89-90, and then genuinely interested by 91 and beyond. Content like this is always a blast.

On this one your keeping the history of nascar alive … on other videos ive seen your keeping automotive history alive .. you and your woman are an asset to automotive world .. ppl gonna look back on your videos 50 years from now and learn from them from ppl who were there … you have started something you cant stop !!!!

My time stamp, Starkey Speedway near Roanoke, Virginia in 1961. Watched Junior Johnson smoke the field in a NASCAR Grand National race driving a year-old 1960 Pontiac. At that time, Starkey Speedway had been converted to a 1/4-mile asphalt track. I'm 81 years old....A NASCARN racing fan since the late 1950's. I really enjoy watching your videos that document "the old days". I was a fanatic Fireball Roberts and Pontiac fan....circa 1959-1962.

Love the Petty stuff...I grew up in Randolph County just a few years younger than these guys (about Becca's age). I find it so interesting because growing up around there you almost took it for granted and didn't realize how famous the Petty's were around the nation...they were all just one of us.

I was racing bicycles, (those annoying guys in spandex blocking traffic . . . ) In the late 80s\early 90s. My training partner and I had traveled to a race in South Carolina and stayed with his uncle who was a huge Rusty Wallace fan. After our race one early Sunday morning, the uncle invited us to watch the Bristol race with him. It was the year that Michael Waltrip destroyed that car hitting the gap in the wall, where the car was not recognizable after the wreck and he raced in the cup race the next day. After watching about 30 laps of the Bristol race, I was hooked! That's my timestamp.

I’m glad you show stuff back when NASCAR was great

This has to be one of the BEST racing history channels on KZfaq. The in depth tech background you deliver is amazing. Blending the tech, history and the people who put it all together is what really makes this unique. The wealth of knowledge that can be gleamed from these older racers, machinists and engine builders is priceless. Thanks for all you do! I was 18 in 1976 and it was nothing to buy a car sitting in the junkyard, grab some parts, throw it together and drive it out of there. Many muscle cars I sure wish I had today. Had a great time working on them, a little street racing and track now n then for fun. Thanks for reviving old memories and the videos you've put together of racing history and legendary drivers. The next generation will definitely benefit from them. Much appreciated 🙏

I am 73 years old and have always been a NASCAR fan. Your stories are very enjoyable.

Just stumbled on this watching you tube on my tv it was just rolling through some stuff. This is pure GOLD!!! My kid been racing go karts since 5 years old he’s 19 now hoping to get a car ride soon . Love this kind of stuff. All you all there and the girl with you are super good folks. Just felt like being at home touring their building. That ol sweet dog even came up welcoming everyone. I gave it thumbs up and subscribed. Super great video thank you for taking the time to post it.

This was a great show Mitch,those Petty Boys have all the stories of their Grandfather,their father Maurice,Uncle Richard,Uncle Dale,cousin Kyle,and their other grandather Red.You could spend 75 years,like they have,talking NASCAR,with the Pettys because that's how long they've been in it.Amazing.Fun bunch of hard working,and very smart country boys from Level Cross ,N.C.
