Imagine one of the new breed of kid drivers doing what Petty is doing!!!

Richard Petty hauling wheels to the Goodyear guys to get tires mounted before the race.

I had a pair of trousers exactly like those! They came from J.C. Penney & Co.

Nice photo op, but why 7?

 

[DeltaV]

Because there wasn't room for eight.

Nice photo op, but why 7?

Because 8 wouldn’t fit.

That back end is pretty low to get around that short track!

One spare and two more to be sure to be sure.

I like the fact that you can see the car, not a bunch of sponsor stickers all over the place like today.

When I see that style out in public, I think of asking, if they were late for something or just slept in.

Today's youth wear pajama bottoms in public just like Petty's slacks. I guess some things come back around, but i doubt physical work will be one of them.

The outside tires wear faster.

Watch at 8:15. Same thing. I doubt the new breed would even know what to do with a hammer.

Those pants were actually in style in the mid seventies. I had a pair just like them around the same time in jr high school.

I guess I am more referring to the fact that he isn’t wearing a costume with his sponsor’s logo all over it in case he happens to get in a tv shot on the way over.
