Now that he reportedly has Brian Scott as the latest present under his team’s Christmas tree (expected to be confirmed at a press conference on Friday), Richard Petty and long-time sponsor STP did a little reminiscing Wednesday.
STP Racing retweeted a classic photo of The King placing a rather unique ornament atop the Richard Petty Museum Christmas tree in 2011.
No, it wasn’t a star, angel, candle or anything of the like. It was one of Petty’s trademark Charlie One Horse cowboy hats -- and it looks soooo cool where it’s at.

Check out this tree topper #TheKing chose for the @PettyMuseum tree in 2011! Not a bad choice, sir. #STP43 pic.twitter.com/oQxncoIc6x

I don’t know about you, but I have an old Stetson sitting in my closet. Bet you can guess where it’ll be going in the next day or two (provided the wife lets me do so).
