Sandwiches are classic comfort food. Who doesn’t love a good sandwich, an easy and usually delicious meal? We say ‘usually’ because it really depends on what you stuff between the two pieces of bread. And some people do indeed have very unusual tastes. Of course, we’re not here to judge anyone, but Richard Petty surely got a lot of judgy eyes.
And it was all because of The King’s mighty sandwich choice.

Indeed, a very fascinating sandwich, to say the very least. But hey, it’s a sandwich fit for a king!

But of course, taste is subjective, and if the king likes the sandwich, then it’s a brilliant sandwich. Who knows? He might have had some Mayo and Pepper sandwiches as fuel to win over 200 races. Would you try this sandwich? Let us know in the comments.
Dale Earnhardt Jr’s Favorite Sandwich That was Compared With Richard Petty’s
There is something about NASCAR drivers making sandwiches that could be a little concerning. Sure, Petty’s favorite sandwich is very unusual. But Petty is far from alone.
NASCAR’s hot property and Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. has a unique taste, too.
