adam petty cars and photos Before Adam Petty finished his first American Speed Association race in 1998, he was already a part of sports history. By entering the race, the then 17-year-old member of one of the most famous families in racing became the first fourth-generation athlete in all of professional sports. For the year 2000, Adam planned to run a full season in the NASCAR Busch Grand National Division, in addition to select races in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. Unfortunately, young Adam's career was cut short in a fatal accident on May 12, 2000, during a practice session at New Hampshire International Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire. Adam will be sorely missed by his family, friends and the racing community in general. Please DO NOT post these cars elsewhere in
