#1. In the MODINE advertisement page, Richard Petty is wearing an blue/white striped RACEMARK firesuit that has sewed on its left collar an small blue/yellow WRANGLER lettering patch?
#2. Behind Richard Petty is #43 STP Pontiac with an TEXAS JEANS decal on it, that was partially covered up with "Congratulations Richard Petty 25 years King of Nascar.
#3. On right arm of RACEMARK firesuit, there is an sponsor patch botched-it out in blue to match the blue RACEMARK firesuit?
Could smiling Richard Petty is senting an message to TEXAS JEANS for more sponsorship money ?

Richard was always good at arm twsting... i.e. twisting Plymouth/Chrysler's arm with his 1969 one season move to Ford. For the life of me, I don't know or recall the origin of the Wrangler patch on Richard's collar.
