Richard Petty: Health| Wife| How many daytona 500 did win
Petty has essentially been stripped of power from inside his formerly renamed race team, which has been swiftly rebranded and rebuilt since November. Johnson and Petty are only seven-time NASCAR champions — and it appears the similarities end inside the Legacy Motor Club’s front office. Petty, 85, said Saturday that his feelings toward the race team are even lower since he bought into Johnson’s ownership group.
Health
He wants to be around people. Petey’s health is good considering his age and the years of racing his body has put into the sport. He broke his neck twice, broke most of the bones in his body, lost 40 percent of his stomach due to ulcers, and overcame prostate cancer.
Wife
Petty married Lynda Owens in 1958. He died at his home in Level Cross, North Carolina, on March 25, 2014, at the age of 72, after a long battle with cancer. They had four children, including Kyle Petty.

It begins with King, Richard Petty, who won seven each, and Jimmie Johnson, who tied Petty with seven championships, while winning the Daytona 500 twice. Jeff Gordon, now co-team owner at Hendrick Motorsports, has four championships and three 500 wins.
