in the Insider column, in a montage of 'cool-stuff-that-happened-at-this-race', which, they pretty much run a similiar column every year, to hype the event, but still, not a bad beal (name a single Daytona 500 since 1976 that did NOT mention, at some point, Petty/Pearson, it is the media, its their job, hello, duh!) last years 'John-isum' was a shot of him signing autographs, year before was a shot of him in the cockpit holding up his (Indy-car) helmut, this year its an actual race shot, still think it was a pretty cool deal. (I exploited it [ie: him driving for Taco Bell] into an oppourtunity to pitch a "it could never happen anyway" TV commercial to the IHRAs house-organ,) but, Jack Clark was known for being a cheapskate, & thats probably why John left that deal, shame, he showed chops for driving a rail, and his stature was a definate plus...........heres one for everyones Little Orpan Annie Secret-decoder rings, ready???
