Like his calls or not, like him or not, here's what I think.....the guy could walk into any track, anywhere in the US, probably the world, ask to speak with someone in virtually any department at the track -- and unless he was truly an real piece of sh!t in how he treated them, which I've never seen -- they would give him a box, a table, accommodate him, and he would be treated with reverence, courtesy, professional regard, and esteem. He has recognition, standing, and stature, in our sport. That's more than I can say about any one here. Sure, maybe he is a jerk to a fan, even some. Many are. So what. Maybe his standing doesn't make him a legend, but it certainly doesn't make him what some are making him out to be. Little Andy once said "we mock what we don't understand, especially at the track."
