The success of Petty Enterprises was built on family. Lee Petty was a pioneer racer. His two sons, Richard and Maurice Petty followed in their dad’s footsteps. Their cousin, Dale Inman served as the team’s Crew Chief. Together they enjoyed great success in the NASCAR Cup racing series winning seven (7) championships. In the golden years, this team was considered to be the standard that other teams aspired to achieve. In order to beat the best, you have to be the best and the #43 Petty Enterprises was the best for several years.
