Kyle Petty
NASCAR Icon & Founder of Victory Junction; NBC Sports NASCAR Broadcaster and Son of Richard Petty
Kyle Petty is a fixture on pre- and post-race NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series race coverage, and also contributes to NBCSN’s daily motorsports show NASCAR America.
Over the course of a 30-year racing career, Petty amassed 173 Top-10 finishes. Since retiring from his racing career in 2008, he has worked as an on-air commentator for several networks, including TNT, SPEED, ESPN, Turner, Fox Sports 1 and the Performance Racing Network.
Petty is as much a product of racing as he is of his famous forebears: his grandfather, Lee Petty, and his father, Richard Petty, also known as “the King.” He grew up in Level Cross, N.C., and on race tracks in Daytona, Charlotte and Talladega. For more than three decades as a driver, owner and media commentator, he has earned a reputation as a classy competitor and one of the greatest philanthropists that NASCAR has ever known.
Inspired by the vision of his late son, Adam, Kyle and the Petty family partnered with the NASCAR community and corporate sponsors to create Victory Junction, a year round camping facility for children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses. For more than 20 years, Petty has hosted thousands of NASCAR fans, drivers and motorcycle enthusiasts on his annual Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America – raising more than $18 million for Victory Junction and children with chronic or life-threatening illnesses.

More Than Victory Lane
Inspired by his late son Adam's work with sick children, Petty partnered with actor Paul Newman to establish the Victory Junction Gang Camp for children with chronic or life-threatening illnesses. The most ambitious of Kyle's many charitable projects, it is the official charity of NASCAR. Petty'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 driver and CEO of Petty Enterprises, Petty 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, which includes his father, Richard "The King" Petty and grandfather Lee, 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. NASCAR racer Kyle Petty 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. Petty'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.
