that might have been posted in bad taste...no, it WAS.
if that is your opinion...FINE.
Bill France Jr. revolutionised a HICK Thing to being the #2 Televised Sport in the US of A.
Mocking the Legacy of Bill France Jr. is just plain dumb.
He took a "regional Sport" and grew it into the Monstrosity that it is.
"stickering UP" a Casket.....well, i'll be your 1st FISH on the HOOK...i guess.
remember what Pete Rozelle did for the NFL...Bill France Jr. did the same and more for NASCAR.

Re: Bill France DEAD
Not really. Brian France and Mike Helton are going to run NASCAR much like Bill did. With an iron fist. Still, he will be missed. It's doubtful it ever would have grown into what it has without his leadership.BSmack wrote: It's the end of an era.
Loved this quote from the article you linked.
Not the case now obviously, but Rack that anyway....he uttered his standard response when asked how he was doing.
"I'm on the right side of the grass," the irascible France said, "and there aren't any roots growing out of my ass."

You know, that doesn't really bother me and it seems kinda' appropriate, actually.chargerfan wrote:So have they decided on a paint scheme/logo placement for the casket yet? It will probably look something like this with the Number 07 on the side and all the tiny stickers the drivers have on the side of their cars like stp, Raybestos, Busch Beer, Edelbrock, Simpson etc...
No harm done.
