What truly is the golden era of NASCAR? According to Richard Petty, he remembers one car in particular that stuck out to him among the rest. Kyle Petty throws his hat in the ring for his favorite era of racing as well.
After this, the conversation turned to a story from Richard Petty about his introduction to Dale Earnhardt at a race in Martinsville, where the Intimidator learned a lesson from The King after he drove it in a little too deep that day.

At 86, Richard Petty looks and sounds like a 55 year old. Mind is sharp and vibrant.

#3 never forget
Damn Richard said a mouth full when he said we don't have a leader and so so so true 2 me growing up n the late 70s and early 80s nascar can't hold a candle 2 what was so that's why I don't watch any races 2day cause it's a cookie cutter bs business it's not about racing anymore and the powers that b have alienated it's true fans it's a sad day
Fun Fact: Richard Petty has never used a drop of hair dye
Kyle talking about the "aero horse leaving the barn" was spot on. That time was NASCAR's sweet spot…before all the technology and science kind of ruined it. Like all the sports now, really…
Richard has always been and will always be one of my heroes
I wish they would go back to stock car racing. NASCAR is no good anymore 😢
Do tjey have a vintage stock car series. Old rules
Bump
The sport has changed and not for the better. I left 20 years ago.
The Earnhardt's and Petty's man, what legacies they left on the sport of NASCAR.
Man, Richard Petty is sharp for 86. It's going to be a sad day when he is gone.
My favorite driver god i loved King 👑 Richard !
Richard’s last statement is so true. That’s one reasonI find NASCAR these days soo lame. It’s cookie cutter perfect.
I would never guess the king was 86, The guy still looks spry
First race I went to RICHMOND and Richard Petty came right by me on a golf cart and waved to me. It was so cool.
That's crazy that Ralph drove for Lee. Those two couldn't have possibly imagined what their kids were going to do in the sport.
How much more cognitive, smarter, and personable Richard is, compared to the guy who runs this country
Thankful to have been a fan during the best years of NASCAR, the Pettys are awesome, I wasn’t a Junior or Senior fan back then but I have mad respect for them now. I was there when Senior won the Daytona 500, I didn’t appreciate it then but I do now, wish we could go back to those glory days!
I've only attended one NASCAR race, at Michigan International Speedway in the summer of '79, and guess who won?
Yep. It was King Richard!
Get the dam bumper off the track NASCAR IS UNWATCHABLE TODAY!
The King has a great dentist
Damn The King even basically said modern day nascar sucks, which we all know anyways.
I don’t want to disagree with the King but it appears that William Byron might be the leader of this era. If not him then one of his teamates
after that Dale took em out one at a time…funny.
