PETTY VISITS

Richard Petty, retired king of the stock car circuit and Republican candidate for secretary of state, will make a noon campaign stop at the Weeping Radish Restaurant in Manteo on Tuesday.

A Randolph County commissioner for 16 years, Petty is trying to become the first Republican to hold the office in this century.

A Dutch treat lunch will be served at noon, and Petty will talk and pose for photos until 1:30 p.m. His rival for secretary of state is Elaine Marshall, an attorney from Harnett County. by CNB
