Petty Enterprises arranged to have his teammate Pete Hamilton on standby as a relief driver but once the King got going he started feeling better. Petty stayed behind the wheel and went on to put the Petty Blue #43 Plymouth right in victory lane. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
