    1971 Plymouth Road RunnerThis is the car Richard Petty drove to the 1971 Winston Championship. He also drove this car to victory at the 1971 Daytona 500, as well as 20 other victories. This car put Richard over the $1,000,000 earnings for the first time in his career and also made him the very first NASCAR driver to ever win over $1,000,000 in NASCAR history. This car also accompanied King Richard to the White House after an invitation from then President Richard Nixon. It carried the STP sponsorship and STP red colors for the 1971 and 1972 seasons. It had an astounding 21 wins. This is the last Plymouth 426 Hemi sponsored car, as the next Petty race car was the 1973 Dodge Charger.
