The Racing Pettys

A single-issue comic from 1980, The Racing Pettys was published by STP Corporation, offering a unique snapshot of motorsports fandom. The issue spotlights the legendary Petty family, specifically Lee, Richard, and Maurice, through a blend of racing action and biographical material. While it remains a one-shot, its existence as a promotional tie-in from an automotive products company makes it a curious artifact of 1980s pop culture, capturing the era's cross-promotional spirit between comics and NASCAR.
