A NASCAR racing legend made a pit stop in McLean County Tuesday morning as part of the 28th annual Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America.

The cross-country motorcycle ride, led by Kyle Petty and his dad, Richard Petty, stopped at the Love's Travel Stop in LeRoy on their way to Indianapolis, Indiana. Kyle Petty, who lost his son to a tragic accident in 2000, explains why he hosts the ride.

The annual ride travels to raise awareness and funds for Victory Junction, a camp created to enrich the lives of children with chronic or life-threatening medical illnesses.

Kyle and his dad, Richard, signed autographs and took photos with fans at the stop.
