That's a trick question, right? There isn't a car in that picture. I didn't see one. LOL
Alan and the Underbird are on my list for the 1990's Hall of Fame.

Sometimes reality is not a savory meal, but it is the only thing on the plate.

If for nothing else than bringing Hooters to Nascar. Kulwicki would have accomplished even greater things had he had more time with us. A big loss!

Today in NASCAR History

NASCAR History: Nov. 12 -- 1967: Bobby Allison wins the Middle Georgia 500, the first race of the 1968 season, for his 10th career win in his 92nd start. Allison leads 271 laps on the .534-mile track in Macon, Ga., and beats Richard Petty by more than a lap.(

Just kidding. RP often pointed out that he lost far more races than he won!

No NASCAR Today history, today

But I found this.

Richard Petty Raceway opens Friday: NASCAR's all-time wins leader Richard Petty and Phoenix International Raceway have teamed up to open Richard Petty Raceway, a 1/16-mile go-kart track on the Midway that is the first such permanent karting facility located within a major NASCAR venue. Petty and Sprint Cup Series driver A.J. Allmendinger will appear at the grand opening of the track, scheduled for 2:00pm on Friday, November 13

The kart track at Phoenix duplicates the shape of the full oval (albeit without the banks).
$20 for five laps, five karts on the track at a time.

Hmm...what significance do we read into Richard and AJ appearing together at the opening?

I think this is more evidence of the Petty and Gillett capabilities working together! If this sort of thing keeps up we will have the money for four world class teams. This is what we want my friends!

Another "find the car" quiz!

The Richard Petty Driving experience is involved also. So RP's ties to that company are still intact.

I started a thread on the kart track because the topic is sort of buried here under "Nascar Hoistory". If you want to comment on thsi new venture, maybe you should do so here:

songsmith1950: Sorry I missed this earlier! Yes, the 43 and at Daytona. That was something big my friend. I hope you are all doing well. Aug 10, 2014 16:28:54 GMT -5

Olive Oil: I have a picture of my late husband with Richard Petty. Richard was his favorite driver. Is place I can send this and have Richard sign it? It would mean everything to me. We were married 52 years. May 25, 2015 11:43:27 GMT -5

Carole: I have a picture of my husband sitting on the hood of the 43 car at the 1979 Daytona 500 winning circle. How he got on the hood, your guess is as good as mine!!! he's also on the back of the sleeve of the movie. Jun 9, 2015 13:19:25 GMT -5
