I am a Richard Petty fan. He is known for 2 major things, 200 wins and 7 championships. So he thinks dirt racing is at a lower level. Of his 200 wins, 30 of them come from dirt track races. Another 20 wins are from races with less 20 cars starting. 64 more of them would have fields of less then 30 cars. This was from the start of Nascar when the races were on short tracks and would race 2 to 3 times a week. Like the world of outlaws do now. So 1/2 of his wins are from a short track life style.
