He died while practicing at the New Hampshire International Speedway for the Busch 200, crashing head-on into turn three after his throttle stuck.

Adam Kyler Petty (July 10, 1980 – May 12, 2000) was an American professional racing driver. He was the fourth generation from the Petty family to drive in races in the highest division of NASCAR racing. He is believed to be the first fourth-generation athlete in all of modern American professional sports.

Adam’s father Kyle Petty, who drove the No. 44 car at the time of his son’s fatal crash, drove Adam’s No. 45 car in the Busch Series for the remainder of 2000. He then used the No. 45 in the Cup Series throughout the rest of his driving career.

Petty’s death, along with 1998 Winston Cup Rookie of the Year Kenny Irwin Jr.’s in the same corner at the same track eight weeks later, led NASCAR to mandate the use of a kill switch on the steering wheel and the adoption of the Whelen Modified Tour restrictor plate for the September Cup race; the plate was abandoned after that race. These two adjustments addressed the cause of the deadly accidents, but did not address the basilar skull fractures suffered by both drivers. At Texas Motor Speedway, Truck Series driver Tony Roper died on October 14, 2000 of a similar head injury. Mandatory use of the HANS or Hutchens device (designed to prevent the rapid-deceleration head-and-neck movements associated with the injuries associated with the Petty, Irwin, Jr., and Roper deaths) was mandated by NASCAR in October 2001, months after seven-time Winston Cup champion Dale Earnhardt died of the same injury on the last lap of the Daytona 500 on February 18, 2001.

Petty Enterprises planned to have Petty run a second Busch season in 2000, while giving him seven starts in the 2000 NASCAR Winston Cup Series, in preparation for a full Winston Cup campaign in 2001. He struggled early in the Busch season, but managed to qualify in his first attempt at Winston Cup during the DirecTV 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on April 2. He qualified 33rd and ran in the middle of the pack most of the day before his engine expired, forcing him to finish 40th. Adam never got to race alongside his father. Kyle failed to qualify and eventually relieved an ill Elliott Sadler, but Adam was already out of the race. Lee Petty, Adam’s great-grandfather, and 3-time NASCAR Champion, lived to see his Winston debut, but died just three days later.
