If you can find a old video tape of the movie "The Richard Petty Story", there is old actual racing footage of the accident. And Richard Petty Plays himself too. I'm lucky enough to own a copy.

It was that wreck that made NASCAR put window nets on all the cars.

I picked that movie up during X-mas at Target , it was on clearance for 50 cents.  Alittle cheezy but defiantly worth the money.
