    Whether you love, or hate NASCAR, it's hard not to respect what that guy
    did. BTW, he was a very good friend to MC racing as well..

    I especially liked this..

    Bill France Sr. put Bill Jr. in charge of crowd control at one of the early
    1950s beach races at Daytona Beach. It was a difficult situation - there
    seemed to be no way to fence in the beach area and keep people from walking
    in without buying tickets. But young France had learned some lessons from
    his dad about ingenuity:
    "We put up signs in the scrub areas along the road that said 'Beware of
    snakes' and funneled people through out gates. It worked out pretty good,"
    France said.
