WHAT IF: Adam Petty Didn't Die

[@hummerman65]

Adam was my friend, like a brother to me. When we wasn't at the track we was hanging out at the shop or going out to eat or something. I enjoyed my time with Adam. Gone but never, everrr forgotten about. May you rest in peace Adam . Ur my guardian angel 😇

[@WhatiFRacing]

Adam probably would've been in the 45 in '01 and ran like shit till 08 cause i don't see him leaving RPM no matter what. He probably would've gained some wins. maybe like three or four if that. And he would've been a case of "Had he of gone with a better team he might've done better" kind of scenario.

[@malikdigger4544]

@William Davis ; Right was alot better than Kyle Petty I remember Adams only Arca win loved his style of racing gone too soon ( R.I.p Adam Petty 1980-2000)

[@iankhan4614]

Kyle said Adam had more talent than he ever did. He would struggle with Petty Enterprises and it would not be his fault. He would become better as a driver but this team was not going to get better with him.

[@Griffdawg]

Hey Kamikaze. Not sure if you knew this, but I plan to make a theory series elaborating on if Adam Petty was still alive. I'm intrigued by what you think would happen. And when I get to this series, I hope you will check it out. Thanks. -Griff.

I love you Griffdogg

Motorsports Fan 63 that's part of his new WHAT IF episode

[@2kig]

When griff was on his prime, he was one of the guys Who really take all the juice from nr2003

[@downnice95]

2001 - Moves up full time in the #45. Adam Petty finishes 23rd in points with 2 top 5 finishes 2002 - Finishes 17th in 2002, gets his first career win at the fall Rockingham race. 2003 - No wins, finishes 18th in points (Sprint also signs through 2007) 2004 - Kyle Petty runs part time in 2004 to put more resources into the #43 and #45, Adam Petty gets his second career win at the Coca Coca 600 and finishes 13th in points

[@jonathan_tong93]

2005 - Adam Petty finishes 2nd behind Greg Biffle after winning 6 Races for Joe Gibbs Racing 2006 - Adam Petty finishes 2nd behind Jimmie Johnson after winning 4 Races for Joe Gibbs Racing 2007 - Adam Petty won the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship after winning the Daytona 500 by bringing Toyota it's first Cup Championship after winning 13 races including the Daytona 500 for Joe Gibbs Racing

[@KyBuschOwnsYou]

I think that Adam Petty would have gone full time in the cup series in 2001

[@corvetteracing48]

same, it would be/ 43 - John Andretti, 44 - Kyle Petty, 45 - Adam Petty

[@malikdigger4544]

Agree probably a future championship too wit ( Petty Enterprise ) possible 02 gone too soon in 00 tho sadd tears are still my ears from race car drivers passing 's . Chad Coleman 98 Arca Atlanta Tony Rooper 00 Truck Series Kenny Irwin Jr 00 Cup Series Adam Petty 00 Cup Series Blasie Alexander 01 Arca Dale Sr 01 Daytona 500 Eric Martin 02 Busch Series

[@jc1424]

I had the idea he would've eventually joined Evernham and when they quit he would just go straight to Penske until his career end, probably winning like 25 races with them.

[@iankhan4614]

The #45 is an iconic number for me.

[@CaptShoichet-USS-SunsetShimmer]

Then we would still see a Petty descendant in NASCAR for generations to come.

[@reginaldhall6871]

Well Kyle has remarried & they've had 3 sons in the last 5 years. Kyle has grandchildren that are 10 years older than his newest 3 boys. I think Kyle is around 62 years old & starting another family

[@sportsfan09yt]

Rip Adam

[@corvetteracing48]

I see Adam moving to cup full-time in 2001 driving the 45 for Petty Enterprises, He would get 1 win in 2001. And other wins in the future. I don't see him winning a championship yet.

[@SeanMurphy9343]

"It will all work well for Paul Menard in the end. Don't you worry" Truer words have never been spoken. 🤣🤣🤣

[@nickbaumann2314]

could you do a what if Dale Earnhardt was still alive video?

[@jmba24]

Adam Petty was going to cup in 2001 full time but good theory though. I think he would've been like Joey Lognao or something.

[@LoganCogar]

no adam was suppose to move up to the Winston cup series in 2001 full time that is why he ran texas he was suppose to run 4 other races but he died before he could

[@iankhan4614]

Seeing him race would have been great, wins or no wins.

[@malikdigger4544]

Very talented driver shame his throttle got stuck causing his death in 2000 miss Dale Sr too in Nascar aswell

[@jonathan_tong93]

Adam Petty could have won his first NASCAR Gander Outdoors Trucks Series win in 1999 then he could have scored his first NASCAR Xfinity Series win in 2000 and he could have clinched his first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series win in 2001

[@bdavis24fan]

I really wish Bobby Labonte had run in the truck series for a championship in that series. He could've done it.

[@Nfulks96]

Adam wouldn't have been on the level of his grandfather, but he would've been better than his dad. 15-20 career wins but Petty Enterprises would still be around and it wouldn't be RPM

[@iankhan4614]

Adam gets either a Kasey kahne 18 to 20 career or a Martin Truex Jr career with 2 0r 3 wins within his first 7 or 8 years and then becoming a championship contender on a regular basis. As long as he leaves petty enterprises after his first 2 or 3 years in the sprint cup series.

[@jewelsunniheartsfitnessanime]

If Adam petty was alive still I truly think he would get a championship for the petty family rather it’s one or two And I see why he’s not in season races in nascar 2001 due to not being full time but I’ll do some races with Adam petty to get him some wins on the game on you tube maybe even do a full season on twitch with Adam petty

[@tylercrouch31]

I think Adam would've been like Dale Jr. and left the family business to leave for a better team. Maybe 2006 or even '05. IDK what team he would've driven for though.

[@Lycan_Jedi]

Jr. Only left because DEI was going to shit.

[@tylercrouch31]

Yea no doubt. That's how I feel about Adam's situation too. He would've left when Petty Enterprises was starting to fold.

[@zacharyleffler]

Its interesting because had Dale not died, DEI may not have gone the route it went. A lot of of what ifs, but who knows how things would've gone at Petty Enterprises if there had been success with Adam and powerful sponsors stuck around.

[@TheSkaterforever2]

@@Lycan_Jedi Jr left because of Theresa

[@Lycan_Jedi]

@@TheSkaterforever2 and Theresa was why DEI went to shit!

[@f-22raptor56]

Do one on what if Kurt Busch stayed at Penske and the 2 car

[@sametozkan9175]

Adam Petty should drive Petty Team for Long Term Contract.

[@fatherfruit]

He probably would’ve been in the 43 in the cup series Instead of Aric Almirola

[@francisco4benites]

#42 #43 #44 #45 THE PETTY FAMILY

[@limestonebutter]

In the part that you said that Petty Enterprises, you only said that John Andretti brought a win since any of the Pettys did it. Enter Bobby Hamilton. 2 wins in 3 seasons (1995-1997). Average points finish is 13th, including a 9th in 1996. Swallow that for a moment. Otherwise, yeah, they were shit. Again, only Andretti brought hope until Bobby Labonte and Robbie Loomis in 2006.

[@flygaming4891]

Paul Menard would have been in the 15 no matter what because of the money he would bring to DEI

Nascar should bring the number 45 car to Nascar and let Spencer Gallagher be behind the wheel

[@bubbagus5262]

FIRST

[@angelgalvez1081]

third

[@jacasoasheland6815]

i don't wanna speak ill of the dead, but i don't think he would've amounted to much

[@iankhan4614]

He's still one of my favorites.

[@PettyFan42]

Dude u are way way off dude. PE would have been a 3 car team 43, 44 and 45. And how the hell can u suggest what would've happened. And their is NO way he would have left PE Kyle would have made the changes needed to be made to make PE complétive. You are clearly clueless.
