Richard amassed the majority of his 200\ncareer NASCAR® wins in the No. 43 car, while his son Kyle raced for years in the Petty family’s No. 42 car, just as his grandfather Lee did during\nNASCAR’s formulative years.\nAs iconic and recognizable as Richard’s No. 43 and Kyle’s No. 42 cars were, the father-son duo spent one afternoon in Southern California racing\neach other’s signature cars.\nIn the opening event of the 1981 season at Riverside, the Petty Enterprises team, which fielded both cars, wanted to get Kyle’s No. 42 into NASCAR’s\n® “Winner’s Circle” incentive program. Because that race marked the start of Kyle’s first full season in the NASCAR Cup Series®, Richard’s\nchampionship-winning experience was the key to get Kyle’s car into the program. It was then decided that Richard Petty would take the\nreins of Kyle’s No. 42, while Kyle would drive his father’s No. 43 at Riverside.\nAt the end of the grueling race on the Riverside road course, Richard Petty took his son’s No. 42 car to a fifth-place finish, while Kyle brought the\nNo. 43 home in 20th position.\nAfter the event, both drivers returned to their respective iconic numbers as the “Winner’s Circle” rules changed. Richard Petty returned to his\niconic No. 43 and went on to win two more races that season. Kyle Petty went to the No. 42 car for the remainder of the year and scored 10 top-\n10 finishes during his first full season of NASCAR Cup Series® competition.\nWhile the number swap never happened again, it is time for Lionel Racing – the Official Die-cast of NASCAR® – to remember this historic event\nwith unique replica die-cast of Richard Petty’s No. 42 STP Chevrolet and Kyle Petty’s No. 43 STP Chevrolet from the 1981 Riverside race.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*PLEASE NOTE THAT ART PICTURED IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!----\u003e ","brand":"Kyle Petty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52103749894466,"sku":"C432621STPKP","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/4293\/6386\/files\/PettyK-STP-Riverside-1981.jpg?v=1772170227","url":"https:\/\/mrmuffinracing.com\/products\/c432621stpkp","provider":"MrMuffin Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
