Most memorable NASCAR moment(s):

Meeting Chocolate Myers!ON THE WEEK OF LAST YEARS SHARPIE 500 AUG 2007 MY SON, HIS GRANDFATHER AND I WENT TO RCR RACING. WE WERE DONE THE TOUR WHICH TO ME IS NOTHING BUT THE GREATEST TRIBUTE TO RCR, DALE AND EVERY CREW MEMBER THAT EVER WORKED ON OR AT RCR DURING DALE & RICHARDS WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP AND WOW WHAT A TOUR IT IS! BUT ANYWAY BACK TO MY STORY WE WERE IN THE GIFT SHOP. WHEN A PICK UP TRUCK PULLED UP OUTSIDE AND A MAN CAME IN, I DIDNT PAY ANY ATTENTION TO HIM UNTILL I HEARD HIS VOICE! THE MAN ASKED THE WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER, “CAN I GET A WATER?” WOMAN BEHIND COUNTER “SURE.” THE MAN SAID “HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THE TIRES ARE WORTH OUT ON THAT TRAILER?” WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER “I DONT KNOW. HOW MUCH?” THEN HE SAID “OH ABOUT $60,000! PRETTY IMPRESIVE ISNT IT?” WHEN I TURNED AROUND, I SAID TO HIM, WITHOUT EVEN THINKING,NOT AS IMPRESIVE AS MEETING YOU! IT WAS CHOCOLATE MYERS! WE TALKED ABOUT THE TIRES HE SHOOK MY HAND MY SONS AND MY FATHERS AND HE WAS THE CLOSEST I WOULD EVERY GET TO MEETING THE INTIMIDATOR. CHOCOLATE WAS A REAL HUMAN BEING, A MAN, JUST LIKE AS IF I KNEW HIM FOR YEARS, HE WAS MORE THAN A GAS MAN OR A TEAM MEMBER. HE WAS DALES FREIND AS WELL! I JUST WANT TO THANK HIM FOR BEING A NICE GUY AND TAKING THE TIME TO SAY HELLO TO US! THANK YOU CHOCOLATE FOR TAKING THE TIME TO TALK TO US. IM JUST SORRY I DIDNT GET TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOU!
