RANDLEMAN Richard Petty is going to take his stuff and go home.

The King said Wednesday that its time to take the Richard Petty Museum now located in Randleman and move it back to Level Cross.

Theres no history here, he said after a press conference promoting the races next month in Bristol. All the history is back at the shop.

Musuem workers will begin moving the vast collection of trophies and cars and guns, along with the huge assortment of Lynda Pettys dolls and figurines, and take them one section at a time to the original site of Petty Enterprises on Branson Mill Road.

This isnt a typical museum, he said. Its not so much a racing museum as it is a Petty Family museum. Museums dont work anyway. Look at all those halls of fame, even the NASCAR deal in Charlotte. I tried to tell them that wouldnt work.

Petty said theres no timetable for the move.

Its going to take a while to get all this stuff out of here, he said.
