Lynda Petty died last month after battling cancer for several years. ''He's doing pretty good, he's used to going to the racetracks and being at the racetracks alone, but he's not used to being at home and being alone,'' said his son, NASCAR announcer Kyle Petty. They were together 57 years and even though he spent 50 of those 57 years on the road, according to him, at race tracks, it's been a lot harder and a lot tougher (than he thought).'' Lynda Petty helped start the Racing Wives Auxiliary, a benevolent fund for injured members of the NASCAR community. Kyle Petty said his mother's death has been tough on the family.
