Adam Petty was proud of the fact that he was the only four generation professional athlete in any sport. And he proud that his great grand father Lee was able to see him race in the big leagues before he himself passed away earlier this year.
Adam was expected to lead Petty Enterprises' effort in racing for at least the next 20 years.
In January of 1999, he began racing full-time on the Busch Grand national Series and immediately made him mark with a tpo 10 finish at Daytona that year.
