Another guy I got to meet that was really cool--Joe Gibbs. We met him at Michigan a while back.
He let us try on one of his super bowl rings. I was always impressed with the fact that, when we asked to see it, he handed it right to us--like it was nothing. He said, "I always let people try it on, whatever, simply because I wouldn't have had a chance to have one if it wouldn't have been for the fans".
I thought that was REALLY cool. About a week later, I read a story in Winston Cup scene that talked about how someone had stolen one of Gibb's rings at Michigan (where we were). Apparently someone took the same ring we were looking at. In the article, it simply asked that it be returned to Joe Gibbs racing.
A few weeks later--another story stated that he got the ring back. Which was even cooler. (I think that had to do with his attitude in the first place). When they asked him if he was going to quit showing it--he stated: "absolutely not--without the fans, I would have never had a chance to have those rings" (which was pretty much the exact same thing he said to us that day).
A complete class act.
