Adam Petty, grandson of Richard Petty and son of Kyle Petty, died today in a practice crash at New Hampshire International
Speedway. From driver accounts, his car may have crashed into the turn 3 wall due to a stuck throttle. It slid along the wall
and briefly caught fire before the safety crew extinguished it. He was airlifted to Concord Medical, but was shortly thereafter
pronounced dead from head trauma. Adam was 19 years old.
I am deeply grieved at this sad loss, and the rest of the members at The Pits and I wish to express our condolences to the
friends and family of Adam.
There is a message board at Adam's website where you can post any comments you wish to express to the family.
