Members of the France family
gathered Wednesday with donors, local officials and industry members to unveil a
statue of former NASCAR CEO Bill France, Jr. outside Daytona International
Speedway Ticket and Tours Office.
France is remembered as the man who followed his visionary
father at NASCAR's helm, guiding the sport through an unprecedented era of
growth to its highest levels of popularity. He combined pragmatism with
optimism in steering the sport, setting the stage for it to become the multi-million
dollar entity it is today.
The statue was created by
sculptor John Lajba.
He shall be remembered by his deeds not by the idols of his children....
ReplyDeletesad that they need a stature to remember a great man....
