Funny story on booing drivers.

In my younger years my brother & I used travel to the races together. We were really into it, and at the time we weren't afraid to show our likes or dislikes of a driver.

One night our hometown favorite nearly pulled off a great pass during an All Star show. Contact was made with another driver, resulting in the end of the race for our driver (and frame of the car for that matter). For the next couple years, any time the "other" driver would take the track we would make enough noise to make the grandstands fall down. One day we walked through the pits and joked with our driver how we'd booed the other guy since the day they collided. Our driver replied that the two were actually friends and that was a move he (our hero) never should have made. We quit booing.
