1992 NASCAR Coca-Cola Cup Series (Jayverse)

The 1992 NASCAR Coca-Cola Cup Series was the 44th season of professional stock car racing in the United States and the 21st modern-era Cup season.

The 1992 season was considered one of the most dramatic and emotional years in NASCAR. The seven-time champion, and "King of stock car racing," Richard Petty retired from the sport at season's end, concluding a year-long "Fan Appreciation Tour.". Petty appeared across the country for autographs and diecasts were made of his No. 43 car for all 29 of the races he appeared in.
