You are most famous for two hundred career wins and seven Cup Series championships, but what do you want your legacy to be?

My legacy, and I hope the Petty legacy, will be Victory Junction. At the camp and off-campus deals, we’ve seen like 135,000 to 140,000 kids. That’s a bunch of kids that can’t go to a YMCA camp or a church camp. They’re too afflicted. What’s really been neat is we’ve had kids come through there, then come back as counselors. So it’s really, really good.

Who knows if we’ll be racing in twenty, thirty, or forty years? It might not even be a sport anymore. But the camp can be there.

When I first started racing, my father said, “Win the race as slow as you can.”
