2012 International Roofing Expo Announces Kyle Petty As Keynote Speaker
Posted
02/3/2012
NASCAR's Kyle Petty will present the Keynote Address
during the 2012 International Roofing Expo, February 22-24, in
South Hall A at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando,
Fla. Petty is replacing Rusty Wallace who had to cancel due to an
overriding professional obligation superseding his contract.
Taking place Wednesday, February 22, from 9:45 am to 10:50 am,
Petty will present, "What a Ride: Life, Family, Community and the
Race Track," in room #S320A in South Hall A at the Orange County
Convention Center.
During this moving presentation, Petty takes audiences on an
anecdotal journey through his life as a businessman, philanthropist
and as one of NASCAR's most respected drivers. He explores
consistently striving for excellence, living up to your promises,
teamwork, helping the community and commitment to family.
The Keynote is sponsored by Orlando-based Fortuna
Logistics/MaxCon, who will be exhibiting in booth #563.
"With NASCAR taking place the same week as our show, we really
wanted another speaker from the NASCAR world," said Lindsay
Roberts, Director of the Int'l Roofing Expo. "As a member of
NASCAR's most famous family, Kyle Petty is the perfect
replacement."
The Petty surname is one of the most recognizable in American
motorsports. The son of seven-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
champion Richard Petty, Kyle forged his own identity early in his
career by winning the first major race he entered: the 1979 ARCA
200 at Daytona Beach, at age 18.
When Kyle isn't behind the wheel of a racecar or serving
humanitarian or philanthropic causes, he is a NASCAR analyst on
TNT, a host on the Speed Channel, and a co-host of Fast Talk, a
weekly radio show on the Performance Racing Network.
"Attendees and exhibitors will benefit from Petty's motivational
address," said Bill Good, Executive Vice President of NRCA, the
show's official sponsor. "His down-to-earth style makes him one of
the most popular personalities in all of sports. I encourage our
members to attend."
The Keynote is included free of charge in all registration
packages, but advance registration is required. Registration can be
