We see him and Kyle in resturants here every now and then. Drive past the shop and Kyles house all the time and you are right he is taller i person. I am friends with a guy that went to school with Richard and to this day he still treats him like a friend!

Once on a hunting trip in the Smokies, he shot it and later had it mounted in the fashion of headgear. It's since been his favorite article of clothing.

I think it was just a PR call.... He did our plant tour and meet and greet in our Lobby.

I met him outside the museum at his operation several years ago. I was on vacation driving my Firebird back to CT from FL. and stopped by his shop to see the museum. He was sitting in his truck looking at my car so I went over and said hi and chatted a few minutes. Very nice guy.

How tall is pretty tall? I've been to a lot of NASCAR races and most drivers are a few inches above midget... I'm only 6'3" ... :P

I'm 6' and he was taller than me! When I think of race car drivers I think of Jockeys in cars! AHHAHHA
