Default King [Petty] to meet the Queen [of England]

King [Petty] to meet the Queen [of England]: Great Britain's Queen Elizabeth II won't be the only royalty at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. Richard Petty, otherwise known as "King Richard" in NASCAR circles, will fly to the Derby to meet with Queen Elizabeth after a special invitation from Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher. Petty then will return to Richmond International Raceway in time for Saturday night's Nextel Cup race in which he has two cars, the #43 of Bobby Labonte and #45 of Kyle Petty. The Queen was in Richmond on Thursday to address the Virginia General Assembly. She and Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh, then went to Jamestown to help commemorate the 400th anniversary of America's first permanent colony.(ESPN.com)(5-4-2007)
