Michael Waltrip and about 800 other runners got together for the Victory Junction Run, a 13-mile half marathon. Kyle Petty, who founded Victory Junction Gang Camp with his wife Pattie, said he got the idea for the race from Waltrip. “Michael did a thing a couple of years ago called Operation Marathon,” said Petty. “He ran Vegas and I ran with him, and we raised substantial funds." “I just came to help,” said Waltrip, “so don't watch because I'm going to be going real slow." Waltrip finished the race in two hours, 26 minutes and 11 seconds, good enough for 355th place. Sunday’s race raised $85,000 for Victory Junction Gang Camp. The Petty’s said they hope to make the mini-marathon an annual event.(MyFox WGHP)
