.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!
