Amazing Images From The Glory Days Of Racing

1971 NASCAR

Quite possibly Richard Petty’s best year as a driver. The man dominated the field at every turn, winning an astonishing 21 times that year. There were only 48 races! You can see Petty’s blue Plymouth a couple spots back of Bobby Isaac in the No. 71 car. Petty finished in the top-10 in 41 out of 48 races, what a statistic and what a legend.
