Rollie Beale was indeed an ambassador to sprint car racing both as a driver and later an official for USAC. When he was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame he was very humble and accepted his honor with dignity, grace and uttered words on behalf of all members of the hall that will long be remembered if not etched in the wall of the hall of fame.
