Who is Richard Petty?

Richard Petty is not a commercial actor, but rather a former NASCAR driver who has appeared in advertisements for various products and companies. Petty is widely regarded as one of the greatest stock car drivers of all time, having won seven championships and 200 races during his career.

But Petty's success on the racetrack has also led to many endorsement deals, with companies eager to associate themselves with the legendary driver. Throughout the years, Petty has appeared in ads for brands such as STP, Coca-Cola, and Goody's Headache Powder, among others.

One of the most memorable commercials Petty appeared in is for Mello Yello, a soft drink brand owned by The Coca-Cola Company. In the advertisement, Petty is shown racing a Mello Yello-branded car on a dirt track while a catchy jingle plays in the background. The commercial became a hit with fans of the driver and the drink alike.

Petty's appearances in commercials have helped to cement his status as a pop culture icon, and his endorsement deals have also been a lucrative source of income for the retired driver. Even long after his racing career has ended, Petty's impact on the advertising world is still felt to this day.
