The Richard Petty-Bobby Allison feud was at its peak for the 1972 Wilkes 400.
Petty won but said "If there had been another lap in the race, somebody else would have won because neither one of our cars were going to make it back."
An Allison fan tried to fight Petty afterward!
I’m so grateful I got to meet such an icon in Sir Stirling. This little squiggle from such a great man will forever be cherished. Another reason my profile pic hasn’t changed in years because I still couldn’t believe I got to meet him. RIP
Just heard the very sad news my dear friend Stirling Moss has died. He was my hero and such a kind man beloved by everyone. He was a true giant in our sport and will be missed forever. My deepest sympathy to his devoted wife Suzie. Rest in peace, Racer.

Solid Gold Style Sir.

Kyle Larson insures the Internet won’t go out of business for lack of interest tonight. Congratulations young man. Nicely done. Ignore the haters and go have a party!
