Racing career

His father Joe Petty and grandfather Jack Petty [2] were both accomplished drivers who won a combined 11 championships and 340 wins in various series. Petty, who was always an athletic person, started into racing at the age of ten years by becoming a Colorado State Champion Soap Box Derby driver. This led to various other forms of racing such as go-karts, vintage race cars, and IMCA type modifieds. In 2001, Petty started his racing career racing modifieds at various dirt tracks throughout Oklahoma and Kansas. In 2002, Jeremy tried asphalt racing at the Dodge City Raceway Park. Petty went on to win taking his first “A” feature race in just his 9th career start.

In 2003, Jeremy concentrated his racing efforts to asphalt at Dodge City Raceway Park, where he finished 3rd in points and was also rookie of the year in the modified division. [3] In 2004 Petty won a record 17 straight feature wins on the asphalt. He went on to win the overall points championship at J.R.P. Speedway in Tulsa, OK, and the Missouri Cup.

In 2005, he started racing in what was then known as the ARCA Re/Max Series with his own team at the dirt race at DuQuoin. The car was a Chevrolet and used the No. 65. He also was set to compete at Salem driving the Roulo Brothers Racing No. 39, but he withdrew. The only race Petty ran the following year was his home track of Kansas, where he finished 33rd after a crash driving the No. 2 Pontiac for Hixson Motorsports. [4]

He brought back his own team in 2007, switching manufacturers to Dodge and driving the No. 21 using owner points from Bowsher Motorsports in two races, which were Iowa and Gateway. Additionally, he made one other attempt that year at DuQuoin, but he did not qualify driving the No. 07 for Corrie Stott.

2008 saw Petty enter two races again. He did not finish the race at Iowa driving the No. 29 for Hixson, ending up in 38th place, and did not qualify for Kansas in Norm Benning's No. 8 car.

In 2009, his first full season in the series, he finished 13th in the final points standings, driving the No. 23 Chevrolet/Dodge for Hixson Motorsports. He did not return to the team in 2010, and was without a ride all year until he made his Truck Series debut in the No. 01 for Daisy Ramirez Motorsports at Darlington, surprisingly earning a top-20 finish in 17th. He did not race in ARCA in 2011, either, but he did return to Kansas to attempt to qualify for his first Nationwide Series race that year, but after a crash in practice left his only car (they had no backup) of the weekend damaged, he and the No. 68 Fleur-de-Lis Motorsports team had to withdraw.

Petty's most recent start as a driver came at the ARCA race at Kansas in 2012, driving the No. 27 for Barry Fitzgerald's Promotion Associates team. He also had attempted to make the season-opening race at Daytona driving Wayne Peterson's No. 06, but did not qualify.
