Seven years ago, NASCAR veteran Kyle Petty lost his son Adam in a racing accident. Now, Petty and his wife, Pattie, honor Adam's memory at their summer camp for kids with chronic illnesses.
Kyle Petty: When you lose someone young, it totally imbalances the order of life. Things aren't the way you thought they were going to be.
Until Adam's accident happened, I think we all lived in our own little world. You know, we were the Petty family, and we had had great success in motor sports, and it was all about us.
The healing process was to build a place where other families could come and other kids could come, and when they left, they would say, "That's a great place; we've been blessed to be at this place."
