RICHMOND, Va. ó The smiles on the faces of the veterans in wheelchairs were unmistakably broad Thursday as they posed for pictures with NASCAR icon Richard Petty.
But the smiles coming from iThe Kingî and son Kyle Petty were just as wide as the two leaders of Petty Enterprises paid a visit to McGuire Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
iItís funny how every story you hear always ends on a high note,î Kyle Petty said as he signed autographs and posed for pictures. iTheyíre always overcoming something ó ëI made it over that mountain.í
