“Million Dollar Roadrunner”
Gouache on Board Original Artwork by Doug
Rentsch
NASCAR history fans
know that 1971 was Richard Petty's so-called
million-dollar year. On August 1, 1971, The King
became the first NASCAR driver to win more than
one million dollars in his career, the prize
money for his victory at the Dixie 500 finally
pushing him over the top. It was Richard Petty's
551st start since he put down the shop broom and
took the wheel of father Lee's hand-me-down '57
Olds convertible back in 1958 at age 21. Petty
scored 21 wins on 47 starts in 1971
