Richard Petty's wife, Lynda, is scheduled to undergo an undisclosed medical procedure today to determine the cause of ongoing health problems.
Richard Petty is currently away from his Richard Petty Motorsports team while tending to his wife. He was absent Tuesday at a press conference to announce his team's recent merger with Yates Racing and switch to Ford.
“My family has always been my number one priority," Petty said in a statement released Friday. "I hate to miss any racing or racing-related
event, but at this time being with my wife Lynda is where I need to be.”
The statement said the Petty family is thankful for the support of its family, friends and fans.
