Timeline

2001

Petty was instrumental in persuading Dodge to return to Winston Cup racing, and his team was the workhorse in building and developing Dodge's race cars for 2001 with help from team owners Ray Evernham and Bill Davis.

2000

Grandson Adam Petty was killed in a practice run at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2000. Earlier that season Adam qualified and ran in the Winston Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway, making the Pettys the first and only four-generation family to run in Winston/Nextel Cup racing history.

1996

Was defeated in a bid to run for North Carolina's Secretary of State in 1996.

1994

During his storied career, he won 200 Winston Cup race (a feat that will never be equaled), seven Winston Cup championships (tied by Dale Earnhardt in 1994), and seven Daytona 500's.

1992

The King of stock car racing, Richard Petty retired from NASCAR competition after the 1992 season.

1979

Was the winner in the first-ever NASCAR event televised flag-to-flag, the 1979 Daytona 500. Petty was a lap down in third place on the final lap when Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough, the first- and second-place drivers, collided on the backstretch. Shortly after Petty crossed the finish line, CBS' cameras shot over to the infield where Yarborough and Allison (along with his brother, Bobby Allison) had climbed out of their wrecked cars and were fighting. This telecast and its events are credited with introducing stock-car racing to the mainstream American public.

1971

Holds modern-era record (1971-present) for Winston Cup race wins in a season with 13 in 1975 (since tied by Jeff Gordon in 1998).

1969

He drove a Ford in 1969 (scored nine wins and came in second in the points to David Pearson, who also drove a Ford) because Chrysler wouldn't give him a Dodge Charger Daytona as he was a "Plymouth Man!" Embarrassed by this, Plymouth built the Road Runner Superbird to get him back for 1970.
