There are some classic quotes from Petty on meeting the Queen like the one below.
If I meet the Queen, it’ll probably be a nod and that’s about as far as it’ll go,” Petty said on Friday at Richmond International Raceway. “I don’t know if I could talk to her because I don’t speak English. I speak Southern American, and I don’t know if she would understand that or not.
Some other classics:
He’ll wear the same familiar cowboy hat to the Derby — black with a peacock feather in the front — that he wears to the race.
“She wears one of them great big hats,” Petty said of the Queen. “She might outdo me on the hat deal.”
And Finally:
Asked how he’ll act in front of the Queen, Petty laughed and said, “I’ve got a queen at home that I have to act to. The rest of them don’t make a whole lot of difference.”
Just classic. For the record, respecting cultures implies all of them.
Yeha! ;)
