After making limited starts in the premier NASCAR® season over the course of the previous two seasons, Petty raced the entire 1981 schedule with a familiar – yet different – paint scheme to the one wheeled by his legendary father, Richard. For years before Kyle’s first full-time season, his dad – “The King” – had a sponsorship from STP on board his legendary No. 43 cars. When Kyle made the leap to compete in all 31 of the series’ races on the 1981 schedule, that Petty family partnership with STP extended to Kyle’s No. 42 car. The younger Petty’s car would sport the same colors, but in an inverse pattern from the Petty blue and dayglow red livery of his dad’s. Kyle Petty went on to a solid 1981 season, earning one top-five finish and a 12th-place result in the season’s final standings. It was the catalyst to what became his iconic on-track career that lasted 30 years and spawned numerous victories and accolades. As part of the 75th Anniversary celebration of the Petty family’s participation in NASCAR®, Lionel Racing is proud to offer Kyle Petty’s 1981 STP Buick die-cast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*PLEASE NOTE THAT ART PICTURED ABOVE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Kyle Petty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49780820050242,"sku":"C422423STPKP","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/4293\/6386\/files\/IMG_7635.jpg?v=1771102124"},{"product_id":"c432621stpkp","title":"Kyle Petty 1981 - #43 STP - 1:24 ARC Diecast","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/4293\/6386\/files\/ARC-icon.png?v=1723389969\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/4293\/6386\/files\/HOTO-icon.png?v=1723389969\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/4293\/6386\/files\/Chevrolet-icon.png?v=1723389969\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRacing Series:\u003cspan\u003e NASCAR Cup Series\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDriver:\u003cspan\u003e Kyle Petty\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Year:\u003cspan\u003e 1981\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCar Make:\u003cspan\u003e Chevrolet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCar Model:\u003cspan\u003e Monte Carlo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScale: 1\/24 Scale\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinish: Standard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• The staple for die-cast collectors\u003cbr\u003e• Hand-applied decal package\u003cbr\u003e• Rolling Goodyear tires\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Petty and Kyle Petty continued the family legacy of the No. 43 and No. 42 cars for decades.
