Kyle Petty Biography
Kyle Petty is a retired American stock car racing driver. Petty began racing as a young boy and at 18 years old, he made his major-league stock car debut. Petty’s first race was the 1979 Daytona ARCA 200 where he drove his mother’s 1978 Dodge Magnum racecar; he won that race. After his race, he was at the time, the youngest driver to win a major-league stock car race. Later that season, Petty made his Winston Cup Series debut driving the same car numbered 42. In 1983, Petty switched his number to 7 when he picked up funding from 7-Eleven. During 1985, Petty took his number and sponsorship to Wood Brothers Racing where he had a then career-high of seven top-fives and his first top-ten points finish. In 1997, Petty formed his own team, PE2 Motorsports, and sported the #44 Hot Wheels Pontiac Grand Prix. In 1999, Petty was commentating for ESPN as a guest to commentate as a NASCAR Driver for NASCAR Busch Series races. Petty took several races off to work as a color commentator for TNT’s Nextel Cup coverage. Petty is also active in many charitable causes.
More Than Victory Lane: Inspired by his late son Adam's work with sick children, Kyle established Victory Junction, a camp for children with chronic and serious illnesses. The most ambitious of Kyle's many charitable projects, it is the official charity of NASCAR. Kyle's work on behalf of others has made him one of the most widely recognized philanthropists in the world of sports.
What A Ride: As a retired driver and former CEO of Petty Enterprises, Kyle takes audiences on a moving and anecdotal journey through his life as a businessman, philanthropist and one of NASCAR's most respected drivers. He explores the ideals that have kept the Petty family at the pinnacle of racing success for three generations: consistently striving for excellence, living up to your promises, teamwork, committing to family and helping the community.
A Report Card Every Weekend: In auto racing, you are only as good as your last race, and every week you get a report card. Kyle understands that business operates the same way and that you can never rest on your laurels; that competition is always fierce; that even at high speeds course-correction is always necessary; that even when you don't finish first, there's always a chance for redemption; and that you not only have to remain prepared for the unexpected, but it must be factored in to your path towards success. Kyle's presentation draws analogies from racing and applies them to business, showing leaders how to learn from past performance, how to adapt to change and much more.
