When I was in the promoting biz the tracks I worked at hired quite a few NASCAR guys to come race with us. Often I worked with them... sometimes I got to meet them as a guest at another track. Because of my job in PR I had to maintain a professional relationship... I couldn't be a fan or treat one better than the other.
1988 saw Dale Sr. come to Wisconsin International Raceway to run an ARTGO event. I really didn't care for Ironhead but I sat a few feet away from him in the VIP lounge. After a couple hours of listening and talking to him in the lounge and trackside I became a big fan... a real great guy.
Sometimes a little face to face time will really change one's attitude.
