Richard Petty
Richard Petty 1937-, American auto racing driver, b. Level Cross, N.C. The son of Lee Petty, a champion stock car race driver, he won a record 200 National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) races, among them a record seven Daytona 500s, in his 35-year career (1958-92). He was also the career leader in starts and money earned. "King Richard" won the Winston Cup, emblematic of stock car racing supremacy, seven times (1964, 1967, 1971-72, 1974-75, 1979), a record later equaled by Dale Earnhardt .
