1987 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX RICHARD PETTY, 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix NASCAR THIS IS RICHARD PETTY'S 1988 GRAND PRIX #1 NASCAR THAT WAS RACED BY "RICHARD PETTY THE KING" HIMSELF IN THE 1988 DAYTONA 500 & WINSTON 500, THIS CAR COMES WITH COMPLETE ORIGINAL NOTORIZED DOCUMENTATION BY RICHARD PETTY HIMSELF VARIFYING THIS CAR TO BE INFACT HIS AUTHENTIC CAR #1 NAS RACE CAR WHICH ALSO BARES AUTHENTIC AUTOGRAPHES! DO NOT ALLOW THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY PASS YOU BY! Richard Lee Petty (born July 2, 1937) is an American former NASCAR Winston Cup Series driver. He is most well-known for winning the NASCAR Championship seven times (Dale Earnhardt is the only other driver to accomplish this feat),winning a record 200 races during his career, winning the Daytona 500 a record seven times, and winning a record 27 races (ten of them consecutively) in the 1967 season alone. (A 1972 rule change eliminated races under 250 miles in length, reducing the schedule to 30 [now 36] races.) Petty is widely considered the greatest NASCAR driver of all time. He also collected a record number of poles (127) and over 700 top-ten finishes in his 1,185 starts, including 513 consecutive starts from 1971-1989. Richard Petty is the "Real Thing". Hardly any word or phrase can even begin to describe Richard Petty's grip on what creates an American legend. Fans call him, "The King", and rightly so, because that really just about says it all, along with his 200 career wins. During the 32 years of Petty's racing career on the NASCAR Winston Cup circuit, he has seen the sport grow from the dirt tracks of North Carolina to the brand new speedways built now fit for a millionaire's sky box at the latest dome. And from the real, drive them on the road stock cars, to the purpose built high performance models used today, Richard Petty's impact on the sport of motor racing outstrips the glory of any one of his victory lanes. Petty was born in Level Cross, North Carolina on June 2, 1937. As is true of most legendaries, "The King" began his life and career "from humble beginnings". His father, Lee, raced cars, and Petty often traveled with his mother and his brother, Maurice following his father's own career. As a young man Petty watched his father, Lee, win three Grand National (now Winston Cup) championships. Soon enough, the brothers became men. Maurice went to work on engines, and in 1958 it was time for Richard to take to the track. Between winning his first race at the long gone Charlotte Speedway in 1960, and running his last race at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in 1992, Richard Pettys record cannot be compared fairly. Like other real life heroes before him, Richard Petty's only flaw is the incomprehensible superiority of his own achievements. Many agree that Petty has been, and continues to be, the guiding force turning NASCAR racing into the most popular form of motor sports in America today.
