Arguably the greatest NASCAR driver of all-time, Richard Petty is all in for Donald Trump.
Petty spoke before a large crowd of 4,000 in North Carolina yesterday.
He said, “Look how many jobs Mr. Trump has created over his career […]”
Check it out.
From BizPac Review:
At a Tuesday evening campaign event in Greenville, North Carolina, a state Trump must win to have any shot at defeating Hillary Clinton, retired NASCAR legend Richard Petty took the podium to explain the rationale behind his decision.
“Look how many jobs Mr. Trump has created over his career,” Petty pointed out, “so he knows how to do that.”
…
“If you want to build a wall y’all can all volunteer and we’ll all go down and build the wall, OK? I’m for the wall, that’s for sure,” Petty said. “What about the people who come in and do what’s right in order to be citizens of the United States?”
More from the rally, via Daily Advance:
GREENVILLE — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump added new revelations about Hillary Clinton destroying telephones to his standard campaign speech during an appearance in Greenville on Tuesday night.
About 4,000 people were let in one of four rooms inside the Greenville Convention Center on Tuesday for chance to hear Trump’s vision for the future.
Trump played up his outsider status.
“We’ll never solve problems by relying on the politicians who created the problems,” he said.
Jacksonville resident Dale Cross said Trump’s speech resonated with him.
“I thought it was great,” he said. “I love the enthusiasm Trump has and his plain-spokenness. He tells the truth, and you can forget all the politically correct rhetoric, and you just got to believe in the man.”
This is really about a celebrity supporting Trump.
It’s about regular folks supporting Trump.
We get it, Mr Trump.
Let’s Roll!
This is NOT really about a celebrity supporting Trump.

“Job Creation” is an excellent argument, and should be repeated.
I agree.
Trump’s immigration plan is about BOTH security and jobs.
Physical/criminal security and economic security.
4,000 people.
Liberals couldn’t get this sort of crowd if they paid them ! And they do !
The lib candidate herself can’t pull these many people together under any circumstance. But just a celebrity endorsement of President Trump is spoken in front of 4000 !
If the election goes to Hillary, a rebellion is not in order but is fully justified. The math just doesn’t make sense.
“Arguably the greatest NASCAR driver of all-time, Richard Petty is all in for Donald Trump.”
Don’t know who could argue with 200 wins, which included 7 Daytona 500’s. In 1967 he won 27 races, which included 10 straight. Petty raced when men ruled the sport, not pampered cry-babies, who were trained on bumper cars.
The Pettys are good people. This is their project. I make a Christmas donation every year in my grandchildren’s names.
I have always liked Richard Petty. A man from a time when auto racing was racing.
(Pretty much everything I owned from my youth was covered in STP stickers.)
I have a hunch that as the fall advances toward the election, more celebrities will ‘come out’, so to speak for the Donald.
I remember the Sunday before the 1980 election, Roger Staubach was covering an NFL game and he came out very strong for Reagan as the only choice considering the weakling in the WH.
Things have changed toward liberalism in the media now, even in the sports media. But, with Hillary showing all signs of corruption and ill health nearly every day, the tide will likely turn against her.
I expect Curt Schilling will be vocal in his disdain for HIllary. He has nothing to lose now,
Great post - thanks.
I remember way back in the 1978 Jesse Helms campaign in North Carolina, we had pro-Helms TV spots done by Richard Petty. You can bet that went a long way in that state. And of course Mr. Conservative — Senator NO! — Jesse Helms won reelection to the Senate.
