by the latter half of the 1978 season, petty and neil bonnett (the two top mopar teams) gave up on the car's inconsistent performance and switched to chevrolets and oldsmobiles, leaving independent drivers buddy arrington (who bought a few of petty's magnums, along with some parts), frank warren, and country singer marty robbins to soldier on without any substantial factory support (chrysler did provide sheet metal and some engine parts to teams driving magnums). from august 1978, two to five independent teams showed up with magnums in nascar races, until january 1981, when nascar switched to smaller bodied cars. the magnum never enjoyed the racing heritage of its predecessors, but it was not without its own achievements. petty scored 7 top five finishes in his 17 races with the car, and bonnett won three poles and scored 5 top five finishes with his. petty recognized the magnum with a commemorative decal, depicting his famous number 43 emblazoned on a magnum for his 1992 fan appreciation tour. though petty never won a race in a magnum, his son, kyle petty drove one of his father's year-old dodge magnums in his first race (1979 daytona arca 200), and won. kyle raced in five nascar races using the left-over magnums in 1979, but wrecked them beyond reasonable repair by the 1980 daytona 125. as of december 2012, only two nascar magnums still existed; one (an ex-petty car) resides in the talladega nascar museum, and the other; (marty robbins' 1978 magnum no. 42) has been restored and is owned by a private party in southern california. the owner occasionally races it in the vintage nascar series.
