Bill France was a really smart man. He'll be missed.

Bill France, Jr. was the man who stood up to the media moguls wanting a piece of the pie. NBC wanted to cut to commercials even during prayer an other commemorations. France effectively told NBC, "These are part of our history. These are part of our values. If you want part of the revenue, you will not dishonor them." He saw what NASCAR could become and he took it there. But, the family values the company was built on would not be forsaken.
