I had a chance recently to interview Richard Petty himself for an upcoming podcast show, and I'll admit that it was one of the few interviews I was actually a little nervous about beforehand. I've been really fortunate to interview some important people in the industry related to muscle cars, but Richard is clearly the biggest celebrity thus far (sorry, Tanner Foust - you're a close second). Richard is a living legend in the NASCAR world - actually, check that - he's just a legend, period, and it was great to find out first hand that he really is just a nice as everyone says.
