I normally don't watch prerace shows, much less convert and upload them, but I knew this segment was in this particular prerace show and thought it should be shared. A quick piece about Kyle Petty's first visit to New Hampshire Speedway since Adam's accident, followed by an interview with Kenny Irwin, Sr about his son.

Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin, Jr. were not only promising drivers, they would've been future champions. And watching Kyle Petty and Kenny Irwin, Sr. break down in tears was definitely emotional to watch.
Scott Allen Brown god it sucks never getting to see what they were gonna accomplish.
Don't forget Tony Roper
Just like davey allison, dale earnhardt, alan kulicki, neil bonnett, and, j.d. mcduffie; adam petty and kenny irwin jr were two promising racers that were going to become excellent race car drivers but we'll never know.
The weekend Kenny Irwin Jr. passed away, his longtime rival (and my favorite driver) Tony Stewart won the race and donated the trophy to Kenny’s parents. Stewart and Irwin had raced each other a lot in USAC and while they were rivals on the track, they respected each other as competitors.
R.I.P Adam and Kenny, two awesome drivers who were taken far too soon!
Don't worry Mr. Kenny Irwin, Sr., your son will never be forgotten!
I know I sure enjoyed watching both of their careers, didn't enjoy watching either one of them go the way they both did.
Their loses have always been really sad, unforgettable and tragic!
If many of us can remember nearly every one of the now long-gone drivers from the 50's, 60's, 70's when there weren't 2 billion photographers and 90000 TV and cell phone cameras everywhere recording their every movement, such as we have nowadays, than of course we shall always remember guy's from the 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's and beyond who drove here in the "digital age" where every smile, frown and fart are usually found right here on RUclips!
Not only will both men never be forgotten, but thanks to the internet, even our grandchildren will know who these guy's were!
Kenny Sr. I will never forget Kenny irwin Jr. very talented driver
Even though things didn't work out at Robert Yates racing, Kenny Jr was eventually going to turn his cup series career around by either turning chip ganassi racing around or getting back into a top ride. Adam Petty was going to be a great driver probably not with Petty Enterprises but some other top team would have picked him up. He had his grandfather smile maybe his ability.
Nether will I 1969-2000
@@iankhan4614 irwin is good but have bad luck and get wreck some car
Wow Kenny Irwin Jr looked so much like his dad.
I still will remember Kenny Irwin Jr. & Adam Petty to this day.
Kenny Sr. need not worry, because I will never forget Kenny. I followed him from when I was young and he was just ready to make his move up from USAC. He was my favorite USAC driver; I followed him to trucks where he became a winner. Then into Cup where he became the teammate of my favorite Cup driver. I hate that he didn't have more success at Yates. I still think about Kenny, and wish he could have matured into the racer at that level must of us knew he could be. Kenny will not be forgotten.
Cousin I know your in heaven watching everyone and keeping a look out for them! We miss you so much, and thank you to everyone for the kind words.
I still have my Kenny Irwin tee shirt. Great driver and someone I'll always think of. Rip Kenny. Never forget.
R.I.P Adam Petty Kenny Irwin Jr. And Robert Yates.
GyzmoThaAngelofDeath and Jim huber he's passed on as well.
Don't Forget Dale Earnhardt
Alan Kulwicki and Davey Allison
And John Andretti
God bless this family even today.
He does doing what he loves if we could all be this fortunate. RIP gone too soon!
I was only 7 years old at the time and I remember my dad came in the room and told me Kenny Irwin had died. When he said this it killed me inside because he was one of my favorite drivers, especially being from Indiana. R.I.P. Kenny Irwin, you will never be forgotten.
Justin Knust I was at the track when both crashes happen it was sad
Seahawkfan1995 I was also at the track with my dad the day after Adam was killed and the day that Kenny was killed. I was 14 at the time, and i remember that particular day probably the clearest of all my visits to NHMS.
Well said -
There is nothing more painful in this world than losing a child. It'll make even the toughest of men tear up or nearly.
I had the privilege of knowing Kenny. Met him at his midget car owner's shop in Bakersfield. We would always talk when he came to town to race. Our dirt track or mesa marin
RIP Adam Petty, Kenny Irvin Jr, Dale Earnhardt Sr
#3, #28 & #42, #45
1993, 2000 and 2001... 3 of the most emotional years in Nascar history. 1994 as well with the death of Neil Bonnett...
DanielCPaulus You Forgot 1989 Where Tim Richmond Died Of Aids In
And Rodney Orr in 93
Kaden Kart Rodney Orr was in 1994
Tiny Lund in 1975
94 also because Ernie Irvan ALL BUT died.
I remember when both come into NASCAR I bought all kinds of memorabilia and glad I done it. I knew both would be stars and would’ve been huge for the sport they will never be forgotten and every time they race here I remember it like it just happened and time stood still.
Kyle Petty and Kenny Irwin Sr. Got really emotional I literally cried a waterfall
I remember Kenny in that 28 car, would have been a superstar today, never forget your son Mr Irwin.
Mr. Irwin, we fans haven't forgotten Kenny Jr. He was a special man who was on the cusp of big things. I always wondered how he would've done in 2001 after Ganassi bought the 40 and 42. You look at Sterling's results after that and you just can feel that Kenny would've been right there too. Time...doesn't heal all wounds...
Kenny wouldve been a star. He had so much potential, but was so raw, but I feel like around the time of his passing he was starting to hit his stride. 2001 wouldve been a breakout, no question in my mind. Its a damn shame that all we can do now is think of what couldve been.
@James Murphy 🤡🤡🤡
5 years in the making
We will never forget Kenny
I Miss Kenny Irvin Jr
Never forget watching Kenny start at the back of a midget race in Morris IL for an extra payout. 10 laps in he was leading, running away from the field. Spun all by himself with like 7 to go. He was such a badass
RIP #28 Kenny Irvin Jr, #3 Dale Earnhardt Sr, #45 Adam Petty.
I Was Sad
Thinking about Adam.
We'll never forget Kenny Irwin!!!! He would have done good things in the Texaco #28. I miss that car. Seems weird how many people were dying back then. Wish safety was a priority in those days.
me too was and i was both races they were spose to been i was at new hampshire in 2000 the weekend adam died that i was new hampshire a few months later when kenny irwin passed way it was a long time before i went back to that track i will never for get that rest in peace adam and kenny
I Miss Kenny Irvin Jr, Adam Petty, Dale Earnhardt Sr.
I'm about to cry...
Kenny jr. never got a fair chance at Robert Yates Racing because I believe he needed more time to develop. Adam only one cup start at Texas and some decent runs in the busch series but had hidden potential. We'll miss you guys. Godspeed.
Adam looks cute when he was little
Kenny drove for a team that won races with Davey Allison and Ernie Irvan, which I thought was cool.

Weird how that 28 car seems cursed. Davey (RIP), Ernie and Kenny (RIP), Terrible but i got love for that car and Robert Yates too.
I haven't forgot Kenny and the promise that he had as a driver. It was frustrating (still is) to watch him struggle in that #28. I just don't think Yates put him in the right situation to be successful. When he got to the 42, I would have loved to have seen what he could have done in a Dodge that next year.
William Grantham Was Sad #28 Kenny Irwin Jr & #45 Adam Petty I Was 3 Years Old & 4 Years Old I Was Sad #3 Dale Earnhardt.
The Petty family has given more to this sport than many fans realize- King Richard has lost close family members, friends - losing Adam was, words can't do it so no reason to try-
Mr Irwin didn't deserve this -
The Irwin family are salt of the Earth people -
Kyle Petty is underappreciated
I believe - he was a solid driver and there isn't anything he can't do in the motor or the fab shops - he and his wife are also great people and the NASCAR family is the better because of them -
Thinking of Kenny.
They got the answer to their questions, now leave the poor guy alone
If they would have left North Wilkesboro on the schedule, this wouldn't have happened~
