Yeah 1967 was an amazing year for Petty. Heres a few trivia facts. in 1967 Richard won 27 races. Out of the 48 races in 1967 he finished in the top 5, 38 times & the top 10, 40 times. Remember this was when they were still driving on dirt tracks, superspeedways etc so there was a large range of tracks.
Something else that is interesting, Richard built 3 brand new cars for 1967. He didnt really like there performance in the first few races so they got out there 1966 cars & changed some of the sheetmetal to a 67.
