Even up until his last days in Winston Cup, Richard Petty sure had something for these guys in 1990 and 1991. Well, circumstances just didn't allow him to have a good showing or win 201. Even the King said he was on a downhill drag and not really running competitive or running too good. This right here was probably his last best chance at getting win 201. He set records that will never be reached with 200 wins, he's tied with Dale Earnhardt for championships, and has 1,185 starts to his credit. It was the changing of the guard because a lot of the guys that raced with him like Bobby Allison, Buddy Baker, Cale Yarborough, Benny Parsons, and David Pearson decided to hang it up, but Allison's bad wreck at Pocono in 1988 ended his career. Petty was one of the last ones to step down after many years.
