The NASCAR king in both famous and never-before-seen photos Although the late Dale Earnhardt matched Richard Petty's record of seven NASCAR points titles, no one - not Earnhardt nor, most likely, any racer in the future - will approach several of King Richard's career records: 200 NASCAR victories, seven Daytona 500 wins, victories in 10 straight races (1967), 1, 184 races started and 712 Top 10 finishes. In a sport where competitors are idolized, no one before or since has enjoyed as much fame and popularity as Richard Petty. This photo-history focuses on Petty's remarkable career. The son of a North Carolina stock car racing pioneer, Richard Petty knew little beyond cars and racing. Despite a slow start to his racing career, he achieved unprecedented levels of success and took the sport with him into the national spotlight.

Writer Ben Blake (the NASCAR columnist for RACER magazine) is a veteran of the NASCAR beat and is a respected commentator on stock car racing's premier circuit. He has written four prior books, including an authorized biography of Dale Earnhardt. He resides in Richmond, Virginia. Dick Conway followed Richard Petty from track to track from 1970 until the end of Petty's career in 1992. He captured "The King" in every situation and these compelling photographs fill this book.
