This is from the 1963 Motor State 400 at Riverside...
Check out the profile... This is a Bill Stroppe Mercury and although it says Junior Johnson on the door, that's not him driving...
Yes... that is Richard Petty!! Unusual to see him in anything but a Plymouth back then, but Junior needed a relief driver and Petty was available after he dropped out on lap five...
They combined to finish fifth while their teammate Darel Dieringer won the race...
