Sumter Today: Kyle Petty Speaks at the Thompson Safety Awards Celebration

As part of their Safety Awards, Thompson Construction Group Inc. invited former NASCAR driver Kyle Petty to be the keynote speaker. Petty's family has been at the forefront of the safety discussions in NASCAR, coming a long way from his grandfather's helmetless, white t-shirt racing outfit. He told stories about the development in the sport, the key moments that shifted the culture, and encouraged the crowd to keep safety their #1 priority.
