[Candy Digital](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-racing), a next-generation tech company specializing in premium digital collectibles, has teamed up with [Hall of Fame Digital](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooting-80he) to launch a Richard Petty digital collectible series called the 'Titans: Richard Petty Collection.' The new capsule has been designed to pay homage to the [NASCAR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nascar-x-justice) champion's legendary career and therefore draws heavily from his iconic imagery.

The collection will feature several unique digital items that will be separated into three sections according to their rarity. These will include the 'The King | Petty Blue Bust,' 'The King | Asphalt Bust,' and 'Richard Petty Collection Digital Cinemagraphs.'

“Richard Petty is known as ‘The King’ for good reason: he’s one of the best to have ever raced. We’re humbled and thrilled that this living legend has entrusted us to create digital collectibles commemorating his storied career,” said Candy Digital’s CEO, Scott Lawin.
