He crashed early in the race and came back in his battered No. 43 to run the final lap and take a curtain call lap in front of the wildly cheering crowd.

"I was trying to stay out of everybody's way and danged if I didn't get In a wreck anyway," Petty said. "Then we pulled one of them Hollywood deals and came back for the last lap. But that was OK because that's what everybody wanted." Petty said that after the wreck he waited in his team's trailer, knowing it was all over but for the last slow lap and the final tribute. "My three daughters came in and they were crying and my wife, Lynda, was crying. I saw how glad they were that it was over with and I guess I was relieved for them.

1 had mixed emotions but right now I feel good about it." Kulwicki finished 7.7 seconds behind Elliott in the battle of Ford Thunderbirds, but won the $1.3 million NASCAR Winston Cup championship. It was somehow appropriate that Kulwicki won the championship on the day that Petty called it quits. Kulwicki, 35, is the first driver-owner to win the title since Petty beat Darrell Waltrip in 1979 by 11 points, the previous closest finish. Kulwicki, who came into the race trailing Davey Allison by 30 points and leading Elliott by 10, won the title by leading one more lap than Elliott (103-102) and getting the five-point bonus for leading the most laps in the race. Had Elliott gotten that bonus, the two would have tied in points and Elliott, the 1988 champion, would have won the championship on the basis of more race victories.

"I felt like we did everything we could do," Elliott said. "I know the guys in the garage area are hurting a little bit, losing it there in the last few races like we did.

The special feeling between the fans in the stands and the man in the race car was never more apparent than at this final act in Petty's heroic epic.

Forty-five thousand of those fans turned out Saturday night at a concert in the new Georgia Dome honoring their hero. Many more came early and stayed late Sunday to watch the second-generation racer handle the wheel one last time. During the special pre-race ceremonies Sunday, Petty stood on a stage on the main straightaway 1 talking to his friends in the stands and In the Infield. He was wearing his trademark wraparound sunglasses, feathered cowboy hat and full-mouth smile, standing proudly in front of his family and stepping to the microphone for a heartfelt thank you to the fans of his sport. "I've always had a special feeling for the fans," he said earlier in the day.

"This deal has been tough on us from the pace of the things we've done since we announced the Fan Appreciation Tour last year. But I think it's been a great experience. "It still amazes me that people will stand in line for hours to get an autograph and then thank me for it." he added. "I think it should be me thanking them.
