I was driving to Myrtle Beach in the mid 90's and saw a car dealership with his name on the marque. I can not remember but I think it was a Chevy dealership. I stopped, went in. Of course a salesman came up to me and I asked if Cale was in. He was. I told him I was a fan from Indianapolis and would like to meet him. A few minutes later was escorted down the hall to his office and there sat Cale Yarborough! I'm not going into specifics other than before Eagle Creek Reservoir was built there was a road called "Dandy Trail" and Cale got the full attention of the Marion County Sheriffs. department one night. This was my opening question, He knew I knew some things and was a real fan.
He offered me and my girlfriend at the time a Coke! We sat in his office and shot the breeze for about half an hour and it was wonderful. He gave us some tips on where to eat and things to see and it was really, really cool.
RIP Cale. What guy and what a life.
