Petty's Wealth Comes Hard Way
Richard Petty, winner of 708254 in 10 years as a stock car driver, says retirement is not in his plans as he pockets 18215 for a dominant Carolina Motor Speedway win. He survived spins and near wrecks to top Cal Yarborough by over three miles in front of a record 38000 crowd, clinching his 102nd NASCAR Grand National victory and hinting at a 50 race season. The race also saw Yarborough take second with a damaged fender needing repair.
