Almost ironically the first time I actually met him was when that pic in the 2nd post was taken at Barber Motorsports Park. As a spectator I approached his paddock tent where he was ending his autograph session and walking away and I said "hey bro I just want to shake your hand". He came right back over to me and talked to me for a good 5 minutes straight.
I've sat down to many dinners over the years with professional racers and their crew chiefs and industry leaders etc, but that was one of the most impressionable moments I have had in the industry.
In the years since I have been around him in a professional capacity many times and while he has never acknowledged me again he has always been extremely pleasant to be around. I cannot same the same for some other pro racers.
