From Lee Petty to Erik Jones: Every Driver Who Won a NASCAR Cup Race for a Petty-owned Team

Three-time series champion Lee Petty got the first and a career total of 54 of the 268 NASCAR Cup Series victories for Petty Enterprises, the backyard company he created in Level Cross, N.C. in 1949.

His eldest son, seven-time champion Richard, got 196 of the family team’s other 214 victories, along with his two each with Don Robertson and Mike Curb. That leaves 18 points-paying victories for the other drivers who won for Petty-owned teams in NASCAR.
