We've managed to dig up this old 1972 movie featuring the story of the legendary Richard Petty. Sit back and watch this obviously low budgeted flick starring Richard Petty and big time actor from the 1970s Darren McGavin. Of course, it has its flaws but for a trip back to the good old days, it's a winner.

Sat, 2016-01-16 09:15
 

History is repeating itself when it comes to preparing the new NASCAR Fusion for its competition debut in February at Daytona Speedweeks.

Much like three years ago, when NASCAR allowed manufacturers to include more brand-specific characteristics, Ford once again used the talents of its designers to ensure the same eye-catching components on the 2017 Ford Fusion production car are included on the new racing version. This latest iteration marks the third major body change for Fusion, and represents another step toward keeping “stock” a relative part of stock car racing.
