Richard Petty: Net worth| When did retire| New wife
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.
Net worth
According to sources, his Net worth is estimated to be $65 million.
When did retire
In October 1991, at the age of 54, Richard Petty announced that he would retire after a 29-race fan appreciation tour the following season. After his last race in 1992, Petty reflected on his 34 years of success in a sport that tests one’s ability to survive.
New wife
Petty was married to Linda Petty until 2014, when she tragically succumbed to her long-term battle with cancer. The couple had four children; Kyle, Lisa, Rebecca and Sharon. Kyle Petty became a NASCAR driver himself. Richard’s grandson Adam lost his life in May 2000 in a practice crash at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
