Known to many simply as "The King," Richard Petty is the most decorated driver in the history of NASCAR, winning a record number 200 career victories and seven Winston Cup championships in his illustrious career.
After his retirement, Petty had other things on his mind, mainly overseeing the operation of the famed No. 43 car that he made famous. In 1996, Petty proved that he could be a champion both as a driver and car owner when he won his first race as an owner in the Dura Lube 500k with driver Bobby Hamilton at the Phoenix (Ariz.) International Raceway.
