My late father in his Wrangler hat watches Richard Petty head into turn 1 at Martinsville during the April 25, 1982 Virginia National Bank 500. The race was won by Harry Gant with Butch Lindley second.

I was there for that one...Petty was always my guy, but he was out of contention for the win so I was pulling for Butch in that Zervakis ride. Heled a lot of laps, had an issue(think it was a flat?)and fought his way back to2nd,but Harry had em covered even with the beat up car
