It's one of the most memorable crashes in NASCAR history. Now - thanks to a South Carolina auction house - Richard Petty's car from the 1988 Daytona 500 (or what's left of it) can be yours. 

According to WHNS FOX Carolina, WHAM Auctions will put the iconic No. 43 up for bid on Saturday, November 22. 

As dedicated NASCAR fans will remember, Petty went airborne on lap 106 after receiving a bump from Phil Barkdoll. Once he finally stopped barrel-rolling, Petty was then slammed by Brett Bodine. Amazingly, nobody was injured.
