However, despite all of these championships, and 200 career wins, he is still best known today as the man who rechristened Dale Colbert with the name "Earnhardt". In his NASCAR career, which spanned from 1958 to 1992, he mostly drove the #43 STP car. For his efforts, the number 43 is one of only two retired numbers in NASCAR (the other being Earnhardt's #3), STP is one of only two retired sponsors in NASCAR (the other being GM Goodwrench, a longtime Earnhardt sponsor), and "Petty blue" is one of only two retired car colors in NASCAR (the other being black, for Earnhardt). NASCAR did this when Earnhardt died in 2001 at Petty's suggestion. They remain two of the most popular drivers in NASCAR history. Petty currently fields a team for his son Kyle. Kyle was never the driver his father was, having only won eight races, but for his humanitarian work, makes the Baby Jesus very happy. This article is a stub. You can get a Tip of the Hat* from Stephen by adding only truthiness to it.*Tip of the Hat not guaranteed.
