Absolutely phonomanonal work !!! Long live king Richard and the 43

If there's one thing this series has taught me, it's this: No, Richard Petty was not the driver he once was - and neither was Petty Enterprises tbh - but if the engine held together, if Richard himself could go the distance, and if he didn't get swallowed up in someone else's accident, he'd usually still be good enough to get the 43 into the top 15-20. There are Cup teams today that would LOVE to have a driver that could deliver that kind of result on a weekly basis. Makes you wonder what could have happened if a higher-tier team (Hendrick, Junior Johnson, etc.) were the ones fielding the 43 car from '86 to '92...

My Hero I still have the Fan appreciation tour sweatshirt I was only 5 years old but I have been a fan ever since

Richard Petty's 1992 Stats: 0 Wins 0 Top 5s 0 Top 10s A 23rd Place Average Finish 5 Laps Led 2 Lead Lap Finishes And 6 DNFs Along with a 26th Place Points Finish

Update: Petty-GMS has been rebranded to Legacy Motor Club on January 11th, 2023

Wow! This was a great series! I became a Petty fan in the late 80’s cause my parents got me a toy 43 car and I wanted to see it on TV. When I discovered he wore a cowboy hat and boots (I’m a ranch kid) he instantly became my favorite I knew nothing of his career at the time. The resurgence of PE in the 90’s happened while I was in high school. Learning about his career also led me to become interested in the history of nascar. If it was for Petty racing those twilight years I would of never become a Petty fan or a nascar fan. I still support the #43 and the rest of the race team to this day.

The Final Year of The King

Pretty awesome Richard Petty's final race was also Jeff Gordon's first race And speaking of Jeff Gordon Please do The Final years of Jeff Gordon's career: 2011-2016

richard petty will allways be the goat

Definitely worth the wait bro 👍.

I loved this story a lot

This was indeed a worth a wait. Thank you so much for making this wonderful season!

The King's Final Crusade! Long live the King! But Richard would make it clear that he wasn't going anywhere, he stayed in the sport as a car owner and as an ambassador to the sport.

I’m thinking Bill Jr hand delivered that restrict or plate to Petty’s garage at the last Pepsi 400.

Thank you so much for covering these final years in such indepth details I love that ESPN did the whole memory segment for each broadcast

besides the random bass in the audio this was done excellently.

Of he came back in 89 and went to mclure or hendricks and rick wilson went to stp he could have gotten a coiple more wins with better equipment

8:31 Kyle Petty needs to have that win revoked. He intentionally dumped Dale Earnhardt AND Davey Allison and caused Allison to get hurt. It could've been a lot worse for Davey or Dale at those speeds too

Bruh this was awesome and hard work, well done my friend. I'm just curious if you got to do something similar on other drivers last years in competition like Darrell waltrip or something like that

In my opinion, he should have retired after 1987 or 1988 but run a limited schedule from 1989-1992. That way, the season finale at Atlanta can still be memorable for it being his last race and Jeff Gordon's first race and the battle for the Winston Cup championship between the late Davey Allison and Alan Kulwicki and Bill Elliott
