Funny thing about #3 was that he was hated early on. Became beloved as an older man

I went to a mid 80s race at Talladegga. He was Booed constantly and literally just a few #3 shirts worn. It was Elliot or Allison or Waltrip that was liked. What a transformation ....

Hated him as an Allison fan growing up. Was only after he died that I realized how much he mattered.

It is a lot like pro wrestling. Until the 90's no one cheered for the bad guys. Also like pro wrestling the outcomes are predetermined.
