List of NASCAR race wins by Petty Enterprises
Petty Enterprises was an American professional stock car racing team that competed in the NASCAR Cup Series. The team, created in 1949 by owner-driver Lee Petty, became the most successful team of the first 50 years of NASCAR. Competing primarily in the Cup Series, the team won 10 Cup Series owners and drivers championships and amassed 268 NASCAR Cup victories, along with 2 Truck Series wins and 3 ARCA Racing Series victories.
Although primarily fielding cars for Lee Petty, Richard Petty, and Kyle Petty, others who drove for the team included Jim Paschal, Buddy Baker, Pete Hamilton, Jimmy Hensley, Bobby Hamilton, John Andretti, Marvin Panch, Jeff Green, and Bobby Labonte. Petty Enterprises scored its last Cup Series win in 1999 and closed after the 2008 season, merging operations with Evernham Motorsports to become Richard Petty Motorsports.
Grand National/Winston Cup Series[]
Lee Petty competed in the inaugural series race in 1949, crashing out after completing half distance. Lee went on to win 54 races from 1949 to 1961, including the inaugural Daytona 500 in 1959. Richard Petty won 200 races from 1960 to 1984. Of those, 196 wins came with Petty Enterprises, mainly in the No. 43 but also in Nos. 41 and 42 from 1962 to 1966. Petty ran two dirt races for owner Don Robertson in 1970 at Columbia Speedway and North Carolina State Fairgrounds as part of a deal with Petty Enterprises, winning both starts.[1][2] He moved to newly-formed Curb Racing for 1984 and 1985, winning his last two career races during the 1984 season.[1] After 1983, the team went winless in the series until 1996, when Bobby Hamilton found victory lane. The last two wins for the team came in 1997 with Hamilton and 1999 with John Andretti.
