Jan Opperman had a bad day. He timed badly, worked his way to the front, and his car gave out. Afterwards in the pits, a young girl approached him. Despite the day he had, he remembered that he had talked to her over a year ago at the Missouri state fairgrounds, picked her up, gave her a hug, posed for pictures and talked to her for a while. She adores him to this day. This is how legends are made.
