RIP Maurice!! The Petty family gave so much to the sport! All National Treasures!

Maurice (The Chief) was the man back in the day, building those Hemi's for the King, and winning Championship's.

We agree!

YES! A comprehensive history of Chrysler racing engines! The early Hemi stuff like the Ray Nichols Firestone Indy car, the 300 NASCAR program and definitely a trip to Florida to see Don Garlits! It's time that you did more drag stuff as well, the H-M GT40 content was awesome and proves that your viewers want more then just NASCAR history! There is a massive group of people in the Indianapolis area working together to preserve Indy and Sprint car history. The SRVA Trans Am guys are incredible. Maybe you should even go check out the Southeast Gassers bunch (Quain and his guys are some of the nicest people in drag racing) the next time they race at Mooresville... This format is a winner and the two of you are CHAMPIONS!!!

Cool to see the "Lesser discussed" part of the Petty legacy featured. I've knew Ritchie Petty drove, but I think that this is the first time that I have ever seen him.

Amazing! Absolutely please do more with the brothers. Their vibe And stories are great!

I am 77 and I really appreciate what you two are doing to not only show us all the behind scenes shops but to preserve the history of what it takes to build a engine, rebuild a engine and race car. Thanks.

You are preserving hist😢 that will soon be only passed in words. Videos such as this bring that history to life for future generations.❤

“We don’t know what we’ve got. We just know it’s what we grew up with.” That is what makes these videos so great. Don’t stop.

My Dad began working for Chrysler back in 1965. Many of those HEMI blocks the Petty's used; he would truck to the Chrysler Headquarters in Highland Park (MI). From there, Chrysler shipped them directly to Petty. Dad was told by the Chrysler Execs if he spoke about those blocks to anyone, he could look for another job! Back in those days, engine secrets were like ICBM launch codes today. Our family was excited when Dodge came back to NASCAR in 2001. As a kid in the 70's in Michigan, we all knew the name Richard Petty. To see a Petty Dodge back on the track was awesome! As far as the Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge racing history, you could write an encyclopedia about it. Love to see those videos!

Good Gawd Maude! You guys have topped yourselves again. The memorabilia in that place alone would make a great museum if they weren’t still using it. I love this stuff!

This is awesome. Plain and simple. I got to meet Richard, Dale Inman, and Marice in 1992 at the 1st Brickyard tire test. Neat guys. I'm down to buy a Richie Petty shirt please and thank you 😊 Who else wants one?

I went to my first NASCAR race at 10 years old with my father and uncle. Both big race fans. That was the 1965 Firecracker 400 I think. So I grew up a rabid race fan. NASCAR, NHRA, and Indycar. My grandfather was a carbuilder/mechanic for several of the Indy guys and introduced me to AJ Foyt and Mario Andretti when he took me to his garage in Gasoline Alley. My mind is still blown. He somehow got to let me drive his old Chevy Elcamino around the track. I was 13 at the time🙃. So the Pettys, Jr Johnson, and the Wood Brothers truly are THE Legends of NASCAR! Auto racing and technology have changed so much over the years. So it's really great to see how they did it back in the day. That dyno in particular was cool. Back then dynos were like rocket science to me and not many even knew what they were🙂

I’m been around racing for 40 some odd years mostly dirt cars but always kept up with nascar racing love watching your videos a lot of things I see I remember seeing those cars and haulers back in the day I’m now 60 years young and still messing with cars I build a lot of short track engines for the local racers !

I got to meet Lee Petty back in the late 70's early 80's. I worked for a Jacobson Distributor out of Shelby NC doing field service work and Lee called in and wanted someone to repair his Jacobsen putting greens mower. I went to the garage and they directed me to his house right beside the shop. He came to the door and showed me his putting green behind the house. I repaired the recoil starter on the mower and tuned it up for him. The mower was a walking mower (22 inch if my memory serves me correctly) and it had a small clutch bell housing right beside the motor that engaged the reel and the traction rollers. I showed Lee that you could simply put your foot on the bell housing and start it with out using the pull starter. He really like that.

I'm 53, born in 1969. Richard was always my favorite for as long as I can remember. In 1974 I got the petty charger model car by mpc and dad and me built it together. Still have it. In 1975 and 1976 we stayed in the infield at Michigan International Speedway here where we live in Detroit. I remember forcing my little self thru the crowd with the old instamatic camera and snapped a pic of Richard's cars door with the 43 on it. I remember watching live the Donny Allison/Cale Yarborough fight on tv. So many memories. I'm much more of a drag racer in life, but more than anything ive always been an engine guy. Retired now as a mechanic, actually on disabilíty as I'm going blind among other problems. Petty Enterprises has always been right up at the top of my love of shops. They used to take quite a few pics around that place for magazines and such and it was always interesting how all their work was done in house and Maurice run the show. As cars go my main love is Oldsmobiles so Lee Petty officially winning the 1959 Daytona first race at that track in an Oldsmobile played a part as well in my love for all they have done with the Petty name. I could go on and on with this stuff but just gave a condensed version of why I love this vid you made.

Watching from the great deep freeze, Canada. I was watching this episode on cast to a t.v from my phone. I heard you ask, so I picked up my phone and began writing this comment. I'm not a big NASCAR fan. Can't say I've ever watched a full race. I had the die-cast toys and built a couple of model kits when I was a kid. I know more big names from than 90's than I do of current racers. Why do I watch your channel? The answernis simple - We are both car people. We both appreciate the history or motorsports. I'm a big NHRA fan. The history crosses over in a lot of ways, the HEMI is an example. I'm a huge Mopar fan as well. The competitive nature, the engineering, pushing the envelope, that is what gets our hearts, racing. Love your channel. You incorporate past and present very well. The interviews, shop tours...those are priceless. These things, people, the stories, they won't be around forever. Surely not first hand accounts. Thank you for sharing it with us.

The R5 was designed specifically for nascar racing, it shares nothing with the prior 340/360 based stuff. I assume Ray Evernham was involved with its design as he was the main guy getting Dodge back into nascar back then. I doubt its much different than what GM, Ford or even Toyota uses. I do know of one guy that has an R5/P7 in a street/strip Duster but I havent seen him around in a few years

Excellent video. I cannot get enough of listening to Timmy, Ritchie, & Mark tell stories all day. Love their You Tube channel. Thanks for doing this one. And helping them in keeping the Petty history, alive.
