February 25 - This day in Petty history
1973 - Richard Petty starts eighth, leads almost half the race, and wins the Richmond 500 for his 150th career victory.
The King made it hard on himself in getting the victory. During the race, he made a bone-headed move and simply ran over Neil Castles while racing Bobby Isaac. He lost 2 laps to the leaders, but he made up both of them and won the race.
