- Kyle Petty says The King adjusting to life alone: Richard
Petty is spending his weekends at home mourning the death of his wife
instead of his familiar spot at the racetrack. Lynda Petty died last
month after battling cancer for several years. She was 72. "He's doing
pretty good, he's used to going to the racetracks and being at the
racetracks alone, but he's not used to being at home and being alone,"
said his son, NASCAR announcer Kyle Petty. "So I've stayed with him
some, and my sisters have stayed some. It's just going to take time.
They were together 57 years and even though he spent 50 of those 57
years on the road, according to him, at race tracks, it's been a lot
harder and a lot tougher (than he thought)." Kyle Petty said his
mother's death has been tough on the family.
"My mother had been really sick for 4½, almost five years, so she fought
pretty hard," he said Friday at the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race "He's
doing pretty good." Kyle Petty won the pole for the celebrity race in
Long Beach. He will start about 40 seconds behind the rest of the field
in Saturday's race because he's a professional, even though he has been
retired since 2008.(Associated Press)(4-12-2014)
