@smylemedia @woodbrothers21 ‘93 Motorcraft Quality Parts 500 🏆 Hard to believe 32 years ago. Morgan’s last Cup win!

Some of my favorite people in the world @woodbrothers21 Perhaps lighting will strike again today.. Go #21

@MattYocum That is Wanda, DW had just won the Winston Western 500 in it the month before at Riverside. Don had drove Bertha in the same race.

@jcoker1 @DiGardRacing Fuel filler opening covered up on right side.

February 17, 1980- Don Whittington attempted to qualify a second DiGard Chevy for the Daytona 500, but was unsuccessful. @DiGardRacing do you know if this is Bertha? Or if it's the same car Whittington ran at Riverside in the opener?

@ChasKrall That is Wanda, DW had just won the Winston Western 500 in it the month before at Riverside.

This is the first picture I have ever seen of this car.

@MattYocum 👀

A friend owns it... cool old piece.

@toomuchcountry It’s hard. Have been checked out for years, couldn’t even tell you who won the last 10 or 15 500’s or even championships. Can’t relate, zero character, zero identity. Even posting on here about a time I enjoyed lost it’s luster.

The duality… Home from Daytona. Given lot of thought to it. Pretty sure 2025 was my final 500 to attend. I’ve had it with all the randomness. Yet 4 wide-eyed friends who aren’t racing fans told me last night how awesome it was on TV. They tuned in because of MY passion for it.

@Kirt_Achenbach Peak Winston Cup, this era of cars was the beginning of things headed the wrong way.

1990 😍

@ttrlfd5 Always identify him with this era although he achieved much more 👍🏻

GOAT

@nascarman_rr Unmistakable voice and delivery. Terrible loss.

RIP Bill Weber. Bill had a professional presence in every role he had in NASCAR broadcasting and will be missed

@Kid67y @MW55 @AllWaltrip Also interested 🤔

@MW55 what happened to @AllWaltrip account?

@BrothersPetty youtu.be/l3XKMaAseDw?fe… 🍔

Here’s a candidate we can throw our support behind!😂

@DaveFultonWrang @MattYocum Not sure if it was in his head, judging by this article, he had a rough life. Would be interesting to hear Benny’s thoughts. Reports of the day mentioned it as a basal skull fracture. It was a hard violent hit. Images of the inside of the car show a the dash was vee’d.

@smylemedia Have to go with this one, all would be unbelievable.

You can own one....who you picking?

@Aero426 @MorrisCoffman14 @MarioAndretti @USACNation @AndrettiGlobal @jlcooke99 @jim_knipe @kirk_fleenor @Clandexter88 @DavidTa93188761 @RepkoJoseph @MarkShoe58 Then wreck ‘er next month in Milwaukee, same car he won Daytonawith I assume 🤷🏼‍♂️

@MorrisCoffman14 @MarioAndretti @USACNation @AndrettiGlobal @jlcooke99 @jim_knipe @kirk_fleenor @Clandexter88 @DavidTa93188761 @RepkoJoseph @MarkShoe58 Mario leading Parnelli, Al Unser and Don White into the first turn at Mosport, 7/29/67.

7/29/67 @MarioAndretti won the Kawartha 250 at Mosport Park in Bowmanville, ON, Canada. The @USACNation Stock Car race took place 57 years ago today. @AndrettiGlobal @jlcooke99 @jim_knipe @kirk_fleenor @Clandexter88 @DavidTa93188761 @RepkoJoseph @MarkShoe58

@Aero426 Jack Bowsher using his dirt track car got the trophy and the kiss 🏆

USAC stocks waiting to go at Milwaukee, 8/13/67 during the Wisconsin State Fair. A big crowd was guaranteed during the fair races. Milwaukee was the crown jewel of the USAC stock schedule with 4 races per year and large purses.

@smylemedia @toomuchcountry @NegreNorman I’m going to guess ‘76 🤔

@toomuchcountry @NegreNorman good catch....maybe @NegreNorman knows for sure

@toomuchcountry @RaceFairgrounds @therichardpetty @BrothersPetty @kylepetty 🏆

June 3, 1965: As NASCAR's Cup drivers raced under the lights for the 1st time at @RaceFairgrounds, @therichardpetty set a record speed at Bristol's dragstrip during qualifying for the Springnationals. #Petty75

@Damn_Dixon @DaleJr @AllWaltrip @vancolley wasn’t there a photo album at the museum with the car that showed th build?

@LilRedDave @DaleJr I believe DW had the car but it was in really bad shape.

Went to my uncle Robert and Jimmy Gee’s old shop today. The 1990 Daytona 500 winning Lumina body was put on right in this spot. Old race shops rule.

@Damn_Dixon @DaleJr That car was built new from scratch correct?

@DaleJr Got the honor to help Robert Jr build the last race car to roll out of that shop.

@toomuchcountry @therichardpetty @BrothersPetty @kylepetty This was the car he won Riverside with. Scrapped out at Holman-Moody. Look how folded up the floor pan is 😬

May 4, 1969: @therichardpetty suffers one of his worst wrecks. The 43 Ford blew a tire, hooked hard right & dead-stuck into the wall at Asheville-Weaverville. King broke his ribs & missed two races. #Petty75

@toomuchcountry @therichardpetty @BrothersPetty @kylepetty There has to be other images out there from this race. Only clipping I have 🏆

April 30 - a @therichardpetty 4-pack victory day (3/4) 1970: The King wins at Columbia Speedway in a car built by Petty Enterprises, sold to Don Robertson, driven by Jabe Thomas, and then borrowed back by the Pettys for a couple of races. #Petty75
