John Force said this about Richard Petty, and how to treat fans

" Richard Petty was really something else. He taught em to stand at the ropes and fences and never leave the fans. I'd watch him stand there and never leave a guy in a wheelchair. And I thought, my god, never walk away from a wheelchair even if you miss the next session. If you have to, shove him up there with ya! "

not on a bet would I have thought you would ever see a photo of Air Force one at a NASCAR race, but I present the Pepsi 400, 1984

And Richard Petty on the back stretch? You can't make this up folks!
