Richard Petty, nicknamed 'The King,' is one of the most successful and celebrated drivers in NASCAR history. He holds the record for the most career wins in the Cup Series with an astonishing 200 victories. Petty’s dominance in the 1960s and 70s helped establish NASCAR as a mainstream motorsport in the United States.
