Ep. 236 | Kyle Petty




The Down & Dirty Radio Show show

Summary: Kyle Petty has a book about to be released (Aug. 9), and this week Petty tries to explain why he wrote it and why now. From the first stories he wrote not making it into the book; emotions of getting the stories and memories on paper; if there are stories in the book that people don’t know or heard before; why Petty had to be 21 to start racing; learning that not all tracks let a driver run wide open; highlighting all of the Petty family in the book and the education Petty received in the race shop; losing Adam and not wanting to know the details; how writing was therapeutic for Petty and also gave him some realizations; why he ended the book talking about NASCAR; how readers can get the book; what Petty wants readers to take away after reading.
