Richard Petty turned 70 today. Quite a momentous occasion given that the man has won 200 Nascar races, 7 championships, and started racing back in the day when safety meant soaking your t-shirt in fluid to make it non-flammable!
Despite the impressive records, King Richard has endured his share of heartache in racing too. There were horrible accidents, contested wins (once by his own father), and the loss of his grandson, Adam Petty.
But through it all, the King has kept up his smile, his fan-friendly ways, and his sense of humor.
Happy Birthday!
