He might be the King of NASCAR, but Richard Petty never traded his crown for a mansion. In this rare, raw conversation, Petty opens up about what matters—family, fate, football games, and never forgetting where you came from. This goes beyond the trophies; it’s about the man behind the hat and the shades.

  • Why Richard Petty doesn’t believe in pressure, and what he thinks really drives your life
  • The reason he wouldn’t change a single mistake in his past
  • How Kyle Petty’s football injury changed the course of his life
  • Why you’ll still find Richard at the diner in Randleman like it’s no big deal

Petty talks about watching cowboy shows on Netflix, not owning a phone, and being part of the “woodwork” in his hometown. There’s wisdom in his simplicity and a quiet defiance in how he’s stayed grounded through global fame. This is a side of The King you don’t see on the highlight reels.
