There are many perks to racing for “The King,” but at the top of the list is driving the iconic No. 43 that Richard Petty drove to a record seven championships.
Darrell Wallace Jr., who is set to compete in his first full-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season with Richard Petty Motorsports, showed off his No. 43 STP Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for 2018.
An ode to the rich history of the illustrious car number and longtime sponsor, the new paint scheme features the famous red-and-Petty blue colors that will be a sight to see on the racetrack this upcoming season.
