https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/0.....ty-dies-at-81/
Normally at a time such as this, I would be in bed and had fallen asleep, but this morning.... It comes with great sorrow and great regret to have to say that Maurice Petty, brother of NASCAR legend Richard Petty, has passed away at the age of 81....
Maurice Petty was a NASCAR driver (driving in 26 races 1960-1964) but was more notable for being a crew chief and engine builder. He was even his brother's crew chief when he drove the iconic #43 to victory in 1983 at a race in Rockingham. And in 2014, he was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Maurice Petty is survived by his brother Richard, his son Ritchie, and his nephew Kyle Petty.
My sincere condolences go to ALL of the great Petty racing family.......
