Richard Petty, get ur done!

grat driver, great guy

I believe his 200-win record will never be touched.

He made NASCAR what it is today.

he even admits he cheated up the wing wang... the whole reason dodge was eliminated for so long, why does that make him so great?

Hey folks, his name aint King Richard for nothing!! Even us Earnhardt fans bow before the throne of the King.

HES THE KING PLAIN AND SIMPLE(for all u jr. fans)

Richard Petty is the greatest NASCAR Grand National-Winston Cup of all time. most people say that dale earnhardt is. dale was a great driver, but nothing compaired to the king. they say that dale is better because he raced against guys like wallace, elliott, gant, DW, bobby & davey allison, terry labonte, alan kulwicki and even the king and won championships. but petty raced against guys like the allison brothers, david pearson, benny parsons, the bakers, lee petty, bobby issac, cale yarbrougho and dale earnhardt (dales rookie year was in 79, the year petty won his final championship). plus petty also won 200 races. more than half of what earnhardt had. and petty also won 7 daytona 500's too.

A good but not great driver. Biggest cheater in NASCAR history.

i hate race car driving. imean if you think about all it is is driving around in a circle. how can that be cool to watch.

200 wins,7 championships,personallity,class and the most important,still alive...

He has almost twice as many victories as the number two man on that list, David Pearson. He has won as many NASCAR championships as any man, seven. Prior to 1973, a man could run in more races than now and against a much weaker field. NASCAR was not the big money sport it is now, a family operation like the Petty's or Wood Brothers could compete and dominate the sport. Still, no other man besides Richard came out of those days with near the success he enjoyed. Was Pearson a more gifted driver? Odds are, he was, his head to head struggles with Petty fairly indicate such, but for whatever reason, Pearson just didn't get the WORK done that Richard did. A blend of talent, persistence and pedigree seldom equaled at any time in sport history, Petty is one of the greatest athletes this country ever produced, and hands down the greatest driver in racing history. If he doesn't deserve five stars, then the only being that deserves five stars at this site, is God.

A great driver and the ultimate gentleman of the sport. Absolute fan favorite because of accessibility. Wins came as a result of the advantage of money and machinery (the Hemi!) over drivers in 60's & 70's though.

The King.

The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. period. who is going to beat 200 career wins? nobody.

He won alot of races because he had 10 times the money as anyone else. Doesn't even play in the same feild as Earnhardt.

There's not much to say, he's the only one, besides Earnhardt, to be the only driver to be successful and own his own team at the same time. These days, it's virtually impossible to do that. To be a CEO and a driver, there's only so many days in a week.

200 wins 7 nascar championships needni say more

I'd have more respect for the man if he would have retired before he turned into a perennial backmarker, like Darrell Waltrip has been for the last several years.

He is the awesomest driver ever! HE's the KING!! I even have a clock of him in my living room that my grandpa made for my dad.

They don't call him the King for nothing. Has records that may never be broken. The Jordan of his day.
