Fair Judgement
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
All you need to do is compare RealRaceFan's comment to Monkee fan Michael's comment in order to confirm who is the real idiot and which one knows what he is talking about. This is a good book and I do know a bit about racing, especially Petty history. For the racist calling bozo, tell me why Brad Daugherty, a former black basketball player and now NASCAR analyst used the number 43 on his b-ball uniform as a tribute to Petty ?? Wake up an smell the turn of the century, will ya ??
Stock Car evolution at its best

If you ever wondered what kind of car Richard drove in which Season, this is the ultimate Book for you. Or if you are into building the Kings Cars in Scale Models, this is the only Book where you can get all the information you need, the rest (Model, Decals, etc.) is up to you
The Book confirms why Petty is the King

This is the book Richard Petty fans have been waiting for. Covers his entire career, as well as, Lee and Kyle's. The photos are great and cover all of the cars, including the rarely photographed '80 Chevy Caprice. Nice history of NASCAR's development too. I reccommend this book to all Petty and NASCAR fans !!!!
A MUST FOR RICHARD PETTY OR STOCK CAR RACING FANS!!!

Interesting insight to NASCAR's King year by year. The sidebars and experiences in the Petty family's trek through racing are well documented in this book along with many photos not seen anywhere but here. Although first rate, more detail could have been devoted to some of the earlier years that are not as well known.
