Description:
1965: NASCAR bans the use of the Hemi engine in racing competition. Richard Petty and his Plymouth-factory-backed team protest this ban and boycott the '65 season.
So what does Richard and his Plymouth team do? They go professional drag racing in a Plymouth Barracuda, called "43 Jr.", and nicknamed "Outlawed".
In '66, NASCAR relented, removed the ban, and Richard came back. |
