NASCAR Photography: A Glimpse into the Past with Richard Petty
Back then, photographers had the freedom to wander in and out of garages, talk to anyone, and generally move around as long as we respected the space. So I stepped right in, introduced myself as a UPI photographer, and asked Petty if he’d mind if I got on the floor to make a few photos of him under the car.
His reply was simple:“Knock yourself out.”
