In Kyle Petty’s opinion, there are certain things that stick out in life, subjects he’s touched upon in the book.

“The low moments and the very high moments stick out,” Petty said. “There are so many things that you just do remember and I don’t think you I don’t even think you realize that you remember until you start talking to someone and they ask the right questions.”

The former NASCAR driver also opened up on the memory of his son Adam, who passed away during a practice session in 2000. For Petty, as long as he’s talking about Adam, “that’s good.”
