NASCAR 75: No. 43 in a series of 75 stories that helped define the first three quarters of a century of NASCAR.
There's a pretty good reason that Richard Petty—he of the 200 career wins in the NASCAR Cup Series—will forever be known in the sport as The King.In the 1967 season, Petty won his second Cup championship, won 27 of 49 races on the schedule and won 10 races in a row in one stretch.And that moniker was no more appropriate than in the 1967 season, when Petty dominated the competition in a manner not seen before or since.
Richard Petty’s 10 consecutive wins and 27 victories for the 1967 season are on a level with Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak in baseball—records that will never be topped.These are numbers modern-day racers look at with a sense of wonder. It's hard not to laugh. No one is ever touching those numbers.
How did this happen? Petty’s driving talent was a given, but his blue Plymouth typically was the best car at almost every stop that season.
