I was working at Road Atlanta a couple of years ago when we ran late, into the quiet hours on Sunday. Corner workers at Road Atlanta have a tradition of going to Curt's in Oakwood for the breakfast buffet and "bench racing" about what we'd seen and done. Since I had multiple pick-ups, I was running late and running the risk of missing out of the buffet. I was going past the garages just behind the Paddock Grille, probabaly a good bit faster than I should, when someone appeared from between a couple of trucks and stepped in front of me. I locked it down and was about to start into a stream of profanity when he looked up and it was PLN. He smiled, waved, I saw him mouth "sorry", and he stepped out of my way so I could get my breakfast. All I could think of is reading the headlines nationwide saying "Safety worker at Road Atlanta runs over famous actor/racecar driver!".
Long live PLN and the legacy that he has brought us all.
