Petty Faces Biggest Fine In Auto Racing History
Richard Petty faced a 35 000 dollar fine and 104 Winston Cup points after NASCAR ruled he used an oversized engine and left side tires on the right side during the Miller High Life 500 victory at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Petty said the business growth and distance from driving contributed to the error and that the penalty erases the victory, leaving his image in question. The decision followed NASCAR officials contacting him after the race and a lengthy discussion in the pits.
