you are so write bobby was grate also tinny lund DH

I new Bobby when he was racing. I was on a crew racing against him and my sister filled in on scoring him for several races. He was always a gentleman and class act. He was most assertive while behind the wheel and let that do the talking. With what he accomplished in just a few years,that should now be a SHOUT and not a whisper. What's up with all this selective history? And who says NASCAR ain't political?!?! Give the Champion the respect and credit he so justly deserves. I'm from the Richmond area so I will have no problem not shopping at that mall,but get Bobby recognised too!!
