NASCAR legend Richard Petty recently shared a touching announcement on social media about his latest charitable effort. Petty donated nearly 403 acres of land to Victory Junction, a year-round camp dedicated to enriching the lives of children with serious illnesses and chronic medical conditions.Victory Junction was established in memory of Adam Petty, Richard Petty's grandson, who tragically passed away during a practice session for the Busch 200 race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2000. Adam envisioned a camp for children with serious illnesses, and after his passing, his father, Kyle Petty, brought that vision to life. Victory Junction has since become a beacon of hope and joy, offering children transformative experiences in a medically safe and supportive environment.Recently, Richard 'The King' Petty, who had initially donated 84 acres to the camp 20 years ago, donated another 403 acres of land to Victoria Junction to assist its functioning and sustainability.

The seven-time Cup Series champion has achieved unparalleled success, but the relentless pursuit of victory has inevitably taken a toll on his personal and family life.Recently, the 87-year-old responded to a fan's question on the Petty Family Racing YouTube channel, revealing how his priorities changed following his retirement from NASCAR in 1992.“I guess you just kind of learn to live a different life as you go from one part of your life to another life. And to begin with, you had no kids, then all of a sudden you got kids, then you got grandkids, then you got great-grandkids. The big deal there is I think as I get older, I get more family-oriented,” Petty said [03:45 onwards].“To begin with, I didn't have time for the family because I was busy racing. And as my racing went downhill, the family grew. So my attention then went to, you know, how to keep the family together,” he added.Richard Petty is now a partial owner of Legacy Motor Club (formerly known as Petty GMS Motorsports), alongside fellow seven-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson.
