The last time a driver won 5 NASCAR Cup races in a row was 1971 when Richard Petty and Bobby Allison did it. That was before the modern era when they cut back the number of races run. Allison won at Charlotte, Dover, Michigan, Riverside and Houston. Petty won at Malta, NY, Islip, NY, Trenton, NJ, Nashville and Atlanta. The all-time record NASCAR winning streak is Petty’s famous 10-race romp in 1967 — from Bowman Gray Stadium, Columbia, SC, Savannah, GA, Darlington, Hickory, Richmond,
Beltsville, MD., Hillsboro, Martinsville, VA., and North Wilkesboro.(JournalNow) (08-22-1998)
