The Petty family’s legacy in NASCAR is unparalleled, with Lee Petty, Richard Petty, Kyle Petty and Adam Petty entertaining generations of stock car arcing fans. Their contribution is not only limited to the sport, as they also have made significant impact on humanitarian fronts with their charity efforts over the years.

One of their noteworthy contributions has been the Victory Junction camp. It was built to honor Adam Petty, who dreamed of one day building a cap to help children with serious illnesses and chronic medical conditions, before tragically passing away in 2000. His father Kyle Petty made the dream come true in 2004 in his honor with the help of Adam’s grandfather Richard Petty.

When I see the joy and the smiles this camp brings to kids and their families, I can still feel Adam’s giving spirit and see his smile. I want to make sure Camp is here in 100 years, and we hope this gift inspires others to support Victory Junction so that it remains a place of joy for generations to come.
