RICHARD PETTY 1981 DAYTONA 500 RACED WIN 1:24 AUTOGRAPHED ARC DIECAST
*PLEASE NOTE THAT ART PICTURED ABOVE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE
There’s more than one reason they call him “The King”. One of them is that he is the only driver in the history of NASCAR® to have conquered the DAYTONA 500® – the ultimate test of a racer’s mettle – seven times. 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. The result? His seventh win in the DAYTONA 500® and the first win for Buick since 1956. Now Lionel Racing is excited to offer the Raced Win die-cast of Petty’s 1981 Daytona 500 Win car. This car has never been offered as a replica die-cast before until now!
