This weekend is the Daytona 500. The opening race of the season for the good old boys of Nascar. One of the true legends of the sport and the patriarch of the first family of racing, the Petty's, was the eldest, Lee Petty. He was hard charging and instilled the love of the sport in his son Richard, his grandson Kyle and his great grandson, the late Adam Petty.
Today all of the drivers and cars and crew are covered with endorsement patches and decals. Old Nascar endorsement collectables aren't real common. Here is a battery additive box we have in stock that features Lee. "I'd rather race without my tires than without VX-6 in my battery"he declares. It is available for purchase here
