Great story!
I'd like to meet Force someday. There aren't many like him left today.
I was, and still am, a HUGE fan of Dale Earnhardt Sr., and like Force, he was all about racing, winning, and the money was "just something that came from it." Dale Sr. got alot of negative press for his tactics on the track, but having the GREAT fortune to have met him three times, and speak to him, he truly was a great man, who cared for and did a huge amount for those in need. And, he made sure the press would keep his generosity quite, as he didn't want the publicity.
Force belongs in the upper-class, with Earnhardt, Petty, etc.
