THE RIDE IS ON! The Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America a time-honored tradition is scheduled for April 30th -May 6, 2022. Last year the ride had to be postponed for a second time due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The 26th anniversary Ride, presented by Cox Automotive will start in Phoenix Arizona, and stops in Lake Havasu, Flagstaff, Bryce Canyon City, Monument Valley, Sedona and ends back in Phoenix.
The Ride raises funds for Victory Junction, a year-round camp for children with chronic and serious medical illnesses that was established in honor of Kyle’s late son, Adam Petty, in 2004.
Since the Ride’s inception, more than 8,650 riders have logged 12.4 million cumulative motorcycle miles and raised more than $19 million for Victory Junction and other children’s charities.
“I hope that we will soon be in a much better place. I’m choosing to cling to that hope and now focus on making our 2022 Ride the best it can possibly be,” Petty continued.
“The camaraderie of the riders, the beautiful scenery of our country, and the mission to raise funds to send so many deserving kids to camp at Victory Junction is what the Ride is all about!”
