Bobby has lived a life that would challenge most people's faith. Lost two sons and now his wife. Suffered through a horrible crash that left mental and physical scars. Booby was a big part of the sport I loved for so many years. Tragedy has been a big part of his life. When Kyle Petty lost his son, Bobby and Judy fought through a tough time in their marriage and was there to offer moral support too the Petty Clan.

I remember watching the Daytona 500 the following year after Bobby won and they had a clip of Judy trying to rehab with Bobby. He didn't remember winning Daytona but could remember things of long ago. I also remember where I was when I found out Adam petty died. I really wanted to see him do well. He carried himself like Richard.
