Former NASCAR driver and racing analyst Kyle Petty is revving up for the cause once again to lead the 29th Anniversary Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America, one of the most popular motorcycle charity rides in the country.

From May 3 – 9, 2025, Petty will lead 125 motorcycles on a 1,400-mile route to raise funds and awareness for Victory Junction – a camp dedicated to providing life-changing camping experiences for children with serious and chronic medical conditions.

Since the Ride’s inception, 9,350 riders have logged more than 13.1 million cumulative motorcycle miles and raised more than $22 million for Victory Junction and other children’s charities.

The ride includes a stop in Clyde on May 7th as the group travels from Niagara Falls to Watkins Glen International and Corning.

In 2011, Petty and his fellow bikers stopped in Auburn.
