I'm not a Kyle Petty fan but I sure feel for this guy

Interesting insight on Kyle's struggles with going back to NH.

Kyle Petty still dreads going back to New Hampshire track where his son Adam was killed.

When Kyle Petty arrived at Daytona International Speedway last week, he entered a track that he believes is the most special in NASCAR.

His experience at the racetrack this weekend will be much different.

If I remember correctly, Patti won't go near NH.
It's got to be heart-wrenching for Kyle to look at that track and remember Adam.

was adam going to do well in the sport from what little was seen of him in the car??

My oldest son died in 1997 and he would have been 32 this year. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him.

I can't imagine the emotions Kyle feels when he walks into the track where Adam died.

Sorry to hear about your son.

Though I have never lost a son, I can only imagine what you have gone through over the years. I hope you still have many good memories to hold on to. I too have often wondered how Kyle or even the Allison family have continued to look at the sport with as much pain they have suffered from it. But I'm sure that Adam, Davey and Clifford would have wanted them to carry on. I think Victory Junction has helped Kyle and Patti in many ways.

That's a tough one. Koodos to him for sticking it out. Having to go there twice a year must be awful.

Man, I really feel for him. I can't imagine losing a close family member like that.

I am very sorry for your loss

(^^ ditto). I have buried a brother but a son is a different story. It takes a lot of guts for Kyle to go back to this place.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words.

What a great community.

God bless, my son became very sick about 2 weeks after he was born and we almost lost him and that was an extremely difficult experience, I can't even fathom how that would feel.
