* Petty Ride: As the 2002 Winston Cup season comes to an end in Miami, Kyle Petty will be busy gearing up his Victory motorcycle for an exciting week on the road. Petty will lead approximately 100 riders through Florida, Georgia and South Carolina as part of the Key Lime Ride presented by Sprint. The ride kicks off on November 18 in Miami and travels for three days making stops in Key West and Daytona Beach before arriving at its final destination of Charleston, SC. The Key Lime Ride is part of the Petty Touring Series, an extension of the Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America. The Key Lime Ride benefits the Victory Junction Gang Camp, the national charity of the Kyle Petty Charity Ride. Kyle and Pattie Petty founded the camp in 2000 in memory of their son Adam, who was tragically killed in a racing accident. The camp will serve as a retreat for children with chronic or life-threatening illnesses at no charge to the campers or their families. To date the camp has raised $10.2 million, almost half of the $24 million needed for the project. The Kyle Petty Charity Ride formed the Petty Touring Series in 2000. In addition to the Key Lime Ride, the group also organized the Bristol Breakaway, a one-day motorcycle ride following the fall race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
