The Victory Junction Gang CampInspired by the King's late grandson Adam Petty ...Made into reality by the King's son Kyle and his wife Pattie ... And funded with a $1 million donation of "seed money" by NASCAR Cup Champion Kurt Busch.
Today, the camp serves as a beacon of hope and source of enlightenment for thousands of families with young children who suffer chronic medical conditions and serious illnesses. What today has brought thousands of families a lifetime of joyous memories during the darkest time of their lives was brought into existence as a result of one of stock car's worst tragedies suffered by the sport's most iconic family - the death of fourth generation driver Adam Petty during a practice run.
