This will be the fourth child for Petty. He has three children from a previous marriage, daughter Montgomery and sons Austin and Adam. Adam, a fourth generation racer, passed away after a crash at New Hampshire in 2000.

“At the same time, you had Tony Roper, Kenny Irwin Jr, Adam, and then Dale [Earnhardt] Sr. Within a short period of time we lost three or four drivers, and we hadn’t lost any drivers in the sport in a number of years. I believe that the way the sports evolved, at that period of time from late ’97-’98 to 2000-2001, with so many accidents and so many deaths, I think it was a catalyst to wake people up and say we’ve got to fix this. We’re losing young drivers, in Adam and Kenny Irwin. We’re losing established stars, in Dale Earnhardt Sr. I think it woke everybody up and everybody focused on safety, from safer barriers to better seats to helmet design to interior design of the cars.” Kyle Petty in response to the question: Right after your son’s death there were a lot of safety changes to the sport, would his death have happened today?
