Robert, best known as Petie, began his career as a used car wholesaler at 16 by taking a train to auto auctions in the DMV area and having them shipped back to SC. He eventually relocated to Maryland in the early eighties where he continued to buy and sell cars. He enjoyed watching his daughter, Ashley, begin her hobbies in demo derby and U-car dirt track racing. He could often be found playing with matchbox cars with his favorite buddy Zay (Isiah) or taking Abigail to the Dollar Store and McDonald’s and watching shows with Ryan. He enjoyed country music, old westerns, Little Rascals, and anything sweet.

Those that knew Petie, knew just how much he enjoyed watching Ashley race. So much so that he helped her purchase a car so she could change classes from ucar to strictly stock. We are asking that in lieu of flowers you make a donation to her racing fund. An account has been setup. Please reach out to a family member for the account information...
