First of all, gotta thank Wildturnip for this amazing and rare capture. This is a movie. Yes, a movie. From 1972, about Richard Petty and his career. Acting is kind of lame but the racing scenes are very exciting and awesome. Enjoy!

I first saw this while working at the Twin Drive - In theater in Indiapolis around 1975,76. It was called, "Smash up alley". Strange that they changed the title. actually more about Richard's dad, rather then Richard himself. Fun movie all the same. I also recommend "Greased Lightning".About the first black stock car champ staring Richard Pryor.

this is a good movie and i have read the comments and although i have never met any of the petty family i believe they are a decent family and they have done a lot of things for a lot of people and organizations but they are just people like the rest of us and they can have good days and bad days just like us and they have had more than their share at times and most of it was in the public newspaper or on tv for all the world to see and i think that the only people who should not have private lives are politicians every other person in every other job private or public should have privacy especialy with family issues and politicians should only have privacy for family deaths but nothing else and maybe then the world would see who they really are but anyways good movie but i would like to see more on the petty family as far as the racing goes and maybe what they have done for charities and things like that

Richard Petty, the winningest stock car driver in history, has become a legend in his own time. At 33 years of age he has recorded over 100 career victories and continues to set new records in his famous electric blue Plymouth every time he enters a race. For the sake of comparison, Petty's career victory record in stock car racing is similar to Babe Ruth's career home run mark in baseball--a phenomenal accomplishment that will probably never be equalled! Petty, a likeable North Carolinian, was born and brought up in auto racing and followed in the footsteps of his father, Lee--a current member of the Stock Car Racing Hall of Fame. Richard won his first race in 1960 at the Charlotte Fairgrounds and from there developed the momentum that carried him to victoryon just about every major speedway in the Southeast. 1967 was his biggest record-setting year as he chalked up 27 wins, including 10 consecutive victories, and over $130,000 in prize money. Richard Petty is still a relatively young man and, as the sport of stock car racing takes on a national flavor in the '70s', fans from coast to coast are watching the Petty legend continue to grow. Wherever he races, all eyes focus on the famous Number 43 Plymouth; it's Richard Petty--the King of Stock Car driver
