Richard Petty Statue

The Petty statue is not life-size; it stands less than 4.5 feet tall. It seems that the town should have sprung for a life-sized statue rather than the dwarf that is on display.

Richard Petty Bronze Statue

My mother can give you more information on this one of a kind statue. The statue has an extremely short torso with rather long legs and is lovingly referred to as "Stumpy".

Here is our photo of the less-than-life size tribute -- and actually, his legs are short compared to his torso. Maybe it was the camera lens and angle.
