Richard Petty Autographed Daytona 500 Race Win 124 Standard 1981 Diecast Car

  

In 1981, Richard Petty had just recovered from a broken neck suffered in a crash the previous season. His team had switched from driving Oldsmobiles on Superspeedways to Buicks. And NASCAR had just made a rule change that impacted the wheelbases.

With the odds stacked against him, Petty bided his time during the race, and made his move at the end, staying out during a pit stop and then not taking tires when other drivers did. His seventh win in the DAYTONA 500 and the first win for Buick since 1956.
