.com%2Fstapleton&v=yVm7PmqeR_U Most people know about Petty Enterprises and Level Cross NC...but did you know the entire lifespan of Petty Enterprises took place on the same piece of land Richard and Maurice were born and raised on? Lee Petty started racing in the 1940s and used a small A frame wooden structure with a dirt floor they had built to be a reaper shed (hay bail making equipment). Dale Inman was there since day one starting as a little kid eventually becoming Richards crew chief for all 7 title seasons. Dale shows us around and shares some firsthand history! The original Petty Enterprises engine room is STILL being used to build engines today! They use the former race shop facility now for "Petty's Garage" custom builds, parts, and restorations!

This house was built by Richard Petty's maternal grandfather in 1924! It later became the home of Lee and Elizabeth Petty where Richard and Maurice were BORN in the upstairs bedroom. It is well known that the original drivers of NASCAR often ran shine in their hotrods.

Lee Petty was one of those guys and this house features numerous secret hiding places! The Petty Museum in Randleman NC is open to the public and absolutely worth checking out! If you'd like to see the race shops next to the house we have a video on the channel with Dale Inman showing those!

If you’ve been around cars very much, you’ve heard the term “barn find”. It’s a term that depicts that “diamond in the rough” vehicle that everybody wants to find. Well, Stacey delves into the barn find phenomenon, and unveils what could be the ultimate barn find…..the lost Richard Petty Car! Follow the incredible story of the car that Richard and Maurice Petty built in their early days, that was then sold and disappeared for decades….. only to be found by Stacey and returned to Richard Petty so it could take it’s rightful place in the Petty Museum. It’s a fact that very few car stories have a happy ending. This is one that does and also has the pedigree of being one of the “King’s” first chariots. It’s gearhead archeology at it’s best!
