Bill France Jr's funeral will be shown on Speed Channel this evening at 8pm but check your local listings.

Jr's plane is about ready to leave for Florida.

For those of you who didn’t follow Big E ‘back in the day’, he liked to leave the track ASAP. Bill France, Jr reportedly told him he should stay around for interviews, etc., but nothing changed.
Well, one day Big E apparently wrecked late in the race and scooted to his airplane which by his orders was a non-smoking space. When he got to the plane, Mr France was sitting in the plane smoking. He told Big E to have a seat and started talking to him about how he could get home faster if he would just stick around for interviews. Apparently Mr France sat there talking for about an hour, smoking the whole time. Seems Big E had some choice words to say afterward but not to Mr France. Sounds just like Big E and Mr France. LOL
