It had always been one of my favorite parts of that day. Ever since he started doing that. When I was overseas, listening to the 500 on Armed Forces Radio, it became my favorite part of race day. I was supposed to be a tough guy. You know, a Marine. But I was never tough enough to keep the tears from running down my face when Jim Nabors was singing this song about my home, when I was 8000 miles away, listening to the race at 2 am. This song will always belong to him, as far as I'm concerned.
