And not a fan of Big Bill France, in particular regard to his actions to Wendell Scott, or the track at Talladega, AL. It should be noted that LeeRoy Yarborough punched France in the mouth at the drivers meeting for the inital race there
But should you condemm a sport enjoyed by millions,for the acts of a few? Or do you have some other stereotypes to bring out?
