The Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a coast-to-coast journey from May 1–9, 2026. Applications for new riders open in January 2026.

The Ride will begin at Sonoma Raceway in California and conclude at Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina—recreating the route taken during the event's inaugural year in 1995.

"For the 30th Anniversary Kyle Petty Charity Ride, we wanted to make it something truly special and ride cross country once again," said Kyle Petty. "To make it even better, we are starting and finishing in the same area we did for the first Ride. We will be reliving 30 years of memories and making even more along the way."

The route connects two Speedway Motorsports facilities, and additional route details, riders and stops will be released in the coming months.

"The Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America has been positively impacting the lives of children and families for three decades," said Marcus Smith, President & CEO of Speedway Motorsports. "We look forward to kicking off the Ride for Kyle in Sonoma and then welcoming everyone home to Charlotte after a cross-country trek of adventures."

Founded in 1995, the Ride raises funds and awareness for Victory Junction, a camp for children with complex medical conditions. Since its inception, more than $23 million has been raised, supporting over 139,000 experiences for children and families across the U.S. and beyond.
