France said there will be more great drivers to come when speaking to the media Monday, a day after Dale Earnhardt's death in the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway. I'm sure we will.
Life has to go on.
I can't think of any time that has been more tough . Whenever you asked him to do something to promote the series, he stood tall. Recalling a time when he had to bring Earnhardt, Geoffrey Bodine and their car owners into his office because of a string of accidents, France remembered what he told them. They both understood that and recognized they had a page in it along with a lot of other people, like my father and Dale's father. France pointed out that before Dale Earnhardt came along, there were other stars such as Curtis Turner, Fireball Roberts, Joe Weatherly, Roy Hall and Lloyd Seay.
