It's Not Going to Shift Itself
Found this in the family archives, taken sometime in 61 or 62 in the California redwoods. My aunt "climbing" the tree.

On this day 55 years ago October 25, 1964 Richard Petty got his 9th of 9 wins that season and his 36th career Grand National victory at the 334 lap race on the one-third mile Harris Speedway in Harris, NC. This was the first of only two races that NASCAR ran on this track. Richard had to drive the #41 in this race because in the race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the National 400 just the week before Richard blew a right front tire and wrecked his #43 while leading with one lap till the finish. Jim Paschal was driving this car and finished 2nd. Since the #41 was undamaged this was the car that got the nod.
Richard started from the 4th position and took the lead from David Pearson on lap 136 as Pearson experienced transmission failure and was forced to retire. Richard went on to lead the remaining 198 laps for an easy victory over 2nd place Ned Jarrett who finished 1 lap behind Petty. Richard had locked up his first of seven Championships by this time and just the day before in the neighboring town of Forest City, Richard drove his car down the street in a small celebration parade in his honor.
I included a couple of newspaper photos from the race and crash at Charlotte the week before. Richard was extremely lucky to have not been severely injured or killed because after the crash and once the car came to a rest the emergency worker found Richard laying down inside the car because the impact was so severe that Richard was jerked out of the shoulder harness which was holding him in place. He was helped out of the car and was clearly wobbly and shaken with what appeared to be an arm injury. He also had a belt burn and welp on his upper shoulder and neck area where he was jerked out of his belts. He also complained of a severe headache from what was most likely a concussion. This accident was identical to an accident that happened at the exact same spot midway between turns 3 and 4 just 3 weeks earlier that killed Jimmy Pardue when he blew a right front tire while tire testing. Honestly I think Richard Petty is the toughest son of a gun on earth.
