The late Liz Taylor appeared with husband #uhh Senator John Warner at the 1977 World 600. I'm sure he used it as a campaign stop to pocket some Petty Cash.

Race preview from Spartanburg Herald.
Tommy Irwin was roughed up pretty good when he wrecked during practice.
Ned Jarrett's misfortune turns to gold for The King. Richard Petty wins in David Pearson's hometown of Spartanburg, SC.

I don't think RPM is in play for Mopar. Through sources I can't reveal, I was provided this photo of RPM's 2013 Nissan COT - complete with Medallion Financial's TAXI colors and Petty-themed cab numbering: 7C43 (seven championships for Richard Petty). I'm glad they will make the announcement early as it looks like they've got some work to do on their aero package before next February at Daytona.
Well, she does already have her Darlington stripe ... errr, stamp.
Wait a minute. I KNEW I'd seen those 2 guys before. Pretty sure that is Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman in their dirt open wheel days. Man, how time has flown.
Jr brought the car home in one piece - and a 2nd place finish at a track where he was expected to do well felt good to the team I'm sure. Obviously 1 race doesn't make a season so we'll see where he goes from here. If Dale Jr returns to winning, is it good for NASCAR? Most folks say so. But those same folks say a winning Yankees team is good for baseball, the NFL benefits from hot teams like the Packers and Cowboys, the Red Wings (and any Canadian team that can win) help the NHL, and a Lakers/Celtics final helps the NBA (scratch that - I'm not sure anything can help the NBA. Not even this Lin kid.)
But you know, I'm not crazy about ANY of those scenarios because they aren't my personal fave. So frankly, any Dale Jr win will be one less win for any team I pull for. So a selfish basis, I'm not too concerned about the streak continuing.
Having said that, I still can't resist including this:
Well, she certainly has the Biggest um uh ahem err [nervous giggle] Something.
