NASCAR legend Richard Petty — known to millions of racing fans as simply “The King” — poses by one of his signature #43 stock cars at the Walt Disney World Speedway in May 2007. The Walt Disney World Speedway in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. is one of the homes to the North Carolina-based Richard Petty Driving Experience. The Richard Petty Driving Experience takes motorsports fans out of the grandstands and puts them in the seat of a 600-horsepower stock car, offering several ride and drive programs to race enthusiasts, thrill seekers and corporate groups. Three driving experiences and a ride-along program are offered throughout the year at the Walt Disney World Speedway. (Gene Duncan, photographer)
