Petty is the definition of good 'ol boy. Funny, tough, talented, and genuinely nice.

Bubba's car looks sick too.

Richard Petty sounds like the King from the Cars movie🤔.

P.s. he's the voice.

I met Richard Petty at his museum last year, he sat and talked to me for a bit, he's a genuinely nice guy.

11:36 "How bout we make the car half rid an' half blue?" "...that might werk."

[EmoDKTsuchiya]

The fact that Lee Petty survived that crash is insane

[hawknoob]

When you realize the first Cars movie was really about Richard Petty

I'm not a fan of NASCAR.
But Petty is a man's man and a badass

[PAK_shidfard]

I live in his home town he still drives around flying around corners it’s pretty cool to see

Weird growing up around NC. Didn't even realize how intensely popular this guy was until I saw him in Cars as a little boy. I went to level cross elementary school. Petty museum literally walking distance from my house now. My mother had met him and his wife multiple times and I've met him as well. Really a legend.

[FRS_Heero]

I met Mr. Richard Petty at the Circuit of the Americas. To this day, even in 2023, almost every fan and driver recognized him and he was happy to meet and greet us all. That's a True Champion. That's Greatness.

James is so talented at his job, he brings enthusiasm to every single up to speed video as if it’s his lifelong hobby

[ExtremelyFunnyPeople]

I believe you are forgetting the GOAT Ricky Bobby

[marcust]

"he was the best and he was in the best *car* so how could he lose"
That reminds me of something

You are the most passionate person I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen anyone cry while telling a story about a car and I love it. You have made me get choked up multiple times just seeing how much it all means to you. Keep up the good work.

[abysss]

Make a separate episode each week for drivers!! This was actually better than expected.
