Visitors to The Petty Museum in Randleman, North Carolina can re-live or learn firsthand the great moments in the Petty family racing history. The museum is located next to The Toomes-Petty House, where Richard and his brother were raised. At the museum, guests can
see and photograph “The King’s” belt buckle collection, championship rings, trophies, and a multitude of cars driven by the Petty family throughout the decades. Even those who are not NASCAR fans warm to the daring family stories, videos, collection, and of helping children with mental and physical disabilities.
In June 2004, Victory Junction Camp opened its doors in Adam’s honor. Its mission is to enrich the lives of children with serious illnesses
by providing life-changing camping experiences that are exciting, fun, and empowering, at no cost to children or their families.
The camp runs solely on donations from the generous public. Funding is sourced through signature events such as Run to Victory (a 10k/5k/Fun Run), Hearts of Victory Fundraising Dinners, and the Campership Classic Disc Golf Tournament. You can donate online, or attend one of the many events throughout the community.
The camp is colorful and joyous— with bright, high-energy designs in all activity areas. A zipline course and other outdoor activities are allinclusive for each camper. The façade of Adam’s Race Shop is a larger-thanlife version of his #45 race car. Cabins are specially tailored to accommodate the changing medical needs of each group of campers.
A racetrack is the camp’s central base and is used to highlight camp activities. Each camp session hosts NASCARnival night with games, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, and tethered hot air balloon rides.
Oftentimes race teams such as Richard Petty Motorsports, Penske, and Roush Fenway Racing will send drivers and pit crews for these events. The teams perform a live-action pit stop complete with tire changes offering campers a close-up opportunity to feel like a member of the crew.
Doctors, nurses, therapists, and medical support teams volunteer to come in for each week in their medical specialty, creating a magical
experience for the campers and allowing caregivers and families a sense of relief for their loved one’s experience.
