Some one arrives at the race track early and spreads blankets on the stands, three wide and three rows down was the norm. Everyone knew the Billy Scott fans would be arriving shortly. They all sat together and the ones with toddlers added small pillows for them to sleep, once the race started. Never could understand how those babies could sleep so good with the loud roar of the engines and the yelling from the track announcer. When you get them in bed at home they awake one or two times a night, once the race season ended.

Normally the group was at least thirty to thirty five, and well behaved. There's always at least one who could get really upset when someone pulled against their favorite driver. Ralph and Dale Earnhardt was always a friend to all of the group as long as they didn't touch Billy!! Some of the group would go into the pits to express their feelings toward Dale, Ralph, or whoever has bumped, rubbed or even caused Billy to spin out. If it was Dale, he would listen and then laugh at them, causing them to become more irate.

Barbara always sat with the group and there was no drinking, no foul language, nor any fussing with other fans of a different driver....except one of the ladies!! One night the group was at the old Concord Speedway in North Carolina and Billy was running up front, which pleased the group. The one lady mentioned above began to hear some negative remarks coming from a man about four to five rows above the group. The louder the man got, the louder and more upset Pat became. She then began to argue with the man, sounding like a bull dog when she was only the size of a toy poodle! Barbara advised Pat not to pay him any attention, because in some cases, one would find out who you root for and even if the person was a fan of the one you pulled for, he would pull against the other just to make one mad.

The mouthing back and forth between the two of them got worse to the point the man was yelling "I hope some one wrecks the &xx%%% and kills him". At that point Billy's little 7 year old son began to cry over the remarks the man was making. Barbara got up from her seat slowly and started out the row. All the group almost froze in their positions, not knowing what in the world Barbara was about to do. She went up the steps very lady-like until she reached the seats, which this man and his companions were sitting. She began "Sir, We realize everyone does not pull for Billy to win and we understand that you are drinking, which may be the reason you are so rude. That little boy you see down there crying is Billy's son and you have really upset him with your remarks. I am his wife and I ask that you refrain from the remarks you are making. I suggest you just yell a little louder for the person you want to pass him, and I personally thank you for not causing any more problems for any of us".

The man began apologizing and telling her how sorry he was for what he had said, and promised her he would not say anything further. Only a few laps passed before we heard the man actually yelling FOR Billy to win the race.
