Happy Birthday Adam Petty

Hello readers today is Adam Petty's 35'th birthday and even though he sadly was taken from this world far to soon at the tender age of 19. He has left a legacy full of help and love though Victory Junction gang camp. Adam changed the lives of many kids through that camp giving them a chance to have fun despite the other challenges there going through. Adam was destined to be a good race car driver but he was a even better person. When you look at all the good that Adam did after his death you almost hate to think all the great things he could have done had he survived. However in addition to the camp Adam's death has saved many drivers lives by forcing HANS devices to be mandated among other safety requirements like the kill switch. So while it is incredibly painful to think about the life lost in Adam Petty through his death he saved the lives of many drivers Austin Dillon, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Larson, Michael McDowell, Erik Jones, Martin Truex Jr just to name a few. All have taken very hard licks or had very frightening crashes involving barrel rolls which many years ago may have killed them. I never got to watch Adam race but I have seen stories done on him since his death and he was a good looking guy with an amazing smile and personality and that he was wise beyond his years. While it hurts to have lost Dale Sr, Kenny Irwin, Tony Roper and Adam Petty those 4 drivers changed the sport of NASCAR and together have saved the lives of countless drivers through the years since their deaths. There deaths prevented the deaths of many drivers that otherwise would have been joining them in Heaven and that is truly something that will help their legacy live on forever. Happy Birthday Adam you were an amazing person both during your life and in the years since your passing. While writing this post I looked up the meaning and definition of legacy and I came across an amazing blog post about legacy and it feels as though the person who wrote this was describing Adam Petty they wrote it so eloquently I couldn't write it better if I tried if you want to see what I'm talking about click the link below. http://empowermentmomentsblog.com/2014/11/19/what-legacy-will-you-leave-behind-in-the-world/ They say your legacy is what you will be remembered for long after your gone  Adam definitely left a legacy that guarantees that he will never be forgotten I was 7 years old when Adam Petty was killed that was about 6 or 7 years before I started watching NASCAR however I know who Adam Petty is, the great person he was, the legacy he left, the safety requirements he helped with in NASCAR and Victory Junction Camp which is at the core of Adam's Legacy. To read more about the camp follow the link below http://victoryjunction.org/ While Adam was taken far to soon from this world and once again lived up to only the good die young song by Billy Joel. He changed more lives in his short 19 years and in the 15 years since his death than some people who live for 65 years. He was an amazing person who will never be forgotten in the NASCAR community and so I wanted to wish Adam a very happy 35'th Birthday in Heaven. Thank you to all my readers I hope you enjoy the race tomorrow in Kentucky I pray for a safe race for all the drivers and thanks again for reading.

Happy 35'th Birthday Adam Petty you were taken to far young and while you are gone you are NEVER FORGOTTEN God Bless you
