    So many great names. We met Buddy Baker, Ned Jarrett, and Benny Parsons, and they were all so gracious and friendly to talk to. True gentlemen.

    Buddy Arrington would've also been a great driver for Petty Enterprises! He'd be a perfect fit!

    I flew the Sky 13 helicopter 🚁 for the TV station in Birmingham 1988-89. I was able to take some good 35mm photos at Talladega of Richard and Kyle. Richard was also nice enough to sign the back of my business card and it holds a memorable place in my photo albums.

    I wouldn't change a thing of the Petty History,but I surely would have liked to see Richie get some good loyal sponsorship,and field a Petty Busch car back in his prime. Things happen for a reason,and time flys by,but all in all you guys were very Blessed to grow up like you did.And it all happened on the Petty land,in a small town,in N.C. America has had only 2 Kings,Richard Petty and Elvis Presley,and that's how it should be.Keep up the good work,always look forward to seeing and hearing what you fellas have to say.

    Pete Hamilton had some big dogs behind him when he won his first major race. I enjoy all the names and stories y'all share. These are the people that made NASCAR so popular back in the day. I still watch the races, but it's just not the same. Please keep the history rolling. 😅

    I remember Buddy Baker in the 11 car. I also remember his dad racing a couple of times toward the end of his career.

    Buddy was the best commentator. When ever a racer had problems with their car during the race, he knew what was wrong everytime.

    Buddy Baker is my favorite non-Petty Petty driver. Imagine if Ned Jarrett had driven for Petty Enterprises back in the day😯🏁
    You guys are bringing the heat every week. Keep it going❤️

      I too vote for Ned. If he had been in Petty team Plymouths in 1966 he would have won races AND if he ran enough races he could possibly of been the first driver since 1962 to successfully defend his championship (1965).

    I was friends with Buck and Buddy Baker & they were both good story tellers. Each had some humerous ones about their experiences with the Petty's.

    I recall in an episode about drivers filling in for other drivers. Times have changed. In 2004 I believe KP got fined by Dodge for helping out RCR and
    Kevin Harvick. Cost KP $45,000. Because KP had a contract to drive a Dodge and RCR had Chevrolets.

    I was absolutely shocked to hear that banjo mathews drove for petty enterprises, because I saw a local short driver and banjo almost come to blows in a store in asheville and it was very clear that banjo hated Richard. I've always wondered what was the cause of the hatred.

    If I remember right, in the Petty Story movie, the "bad guy" who caused Lee's bad wreck at Daytona in '61 also caused Richard's bad Darlington wreck in 1970. Let's say they took a bit of creative license with some of the storyline...

    #11 on a Petty car? Why did the Petty’s enter both and a Plymouth and a Dodge in the same race? Curious

    • @shanew.williams
      @shanew.williams Рік тому +4

      The Petty team was factory funded. Meaning, in 1971 Chrysler Corp. was only gonna fund one Plymouth team & one Dodge, they picked Petty Ent. for BOTH.
