Route Announced For Kyle Petty Charity Ride

Former NASCAR driver Kyle Petty also has an affinity for riding on
two wheels, and for the past 18 years has been holding a charity
ride to benefit Victory Junction, a camp for children with chronic
or life-threatening illnesses. Each year, the seven-day ride takes
Petty and other riders across thousands of miles of roads.
"We started this ride as a small group of friends just riding from
track to track," said Kyle Petty. "It's amazing to see how this
event has grown - seven days of beautiful riding with more than 175
riders helping send hundreds of kids to Victory Junction."
This year, the professional racer, along with about 175 bikers,
will strap on his motorcycle helmet and embark on a 2,500-mile
jaunt from Napa, California, to Fort Worth, Texas. The journey will
take the riders through the redwood forests of California, along
U.S. Highway 50 - "the Loneliest Road in America" - and down "the
Million Dollar Highway" (U.S. Route 550).
While Petty is leading the ride, he is not the only famous face to
grace the charity event. Former NFL star and Heisman Trophy winner
Herschel Walker and former NBA star Brad Daughtery will also be
taking part in the ride.
