Kyle Petty - Swerve or Die Book Tour

Kyle Petty's SWERVE OR DIE: Life at My Speed in the First Family of NASCAR Racing, co-written with bestselling author Ellis Henican.

Kyle Petty is NASCAR royalty. Son of the legendary “King,” Richard Petty, and grandson of one of the founders of the sport, Lee Petty, he has dedicated his life to the most popular form of American auto racing.

A champion on, and off, the track, Kyle Petty presents the most thoughtful insider’s account of NASCAR that has ever been written. Not just a “I raced here, I won there,” SWERVE OR DIE will take a rare deep dive into how the great American racing circuit has become so controversial and how it’s Southern-bred worldview is shaking American life yet again. In the book he presents deeply personal stories from his racing career following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, as well as the moment he learned his young son Adam was killed in a crash during a practice run. By taking us through the history of the sport and it’s many dramatic moments, Petty pulls back the curtain of why today’s NASCAR is dealing with many wrenching societal issues and how it will go about handling them.

Petty also lays out his vision for the future of the sport. How will it keep its long-time fans while growing their future fan base? Could the sport, whose roots started in the dirt tracks of America's hinterlands, become a global leader in “green” vehicles?
