1970 - Richard Petty pockets his 113th career victory by winning from the pole in the Myers Brothers 250 at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC.
Richard's 1970 season is most closely associated with his runs in the winged Plymouth Superbird.
However, the Grand National schedule in that era included far more short-track races than in NASCAR's 'modern era' (Winston-Nextel-Sprint Cup years). The 'Bird wasn't the best car for those tracks, so Petty Enterprises ran a Plymouth Road Runner similar to this one in many events - including Richard's win at Bowman Gray.
