He is indeed a modest and shy man. He was not at all comfortable in the lime light, and I can imagine that being recognized and acknowledged in England, years after his career had ended was an enormous surprise for him.
I met him at the Daytona 24 Hour back in 1976, when he ran an older Wood's Brothers Stock Car in a special Nascar class in the race. He was very nice, very polite, and seemed to be having a great time, even if it meant taking a stock car out on a rainy asphalt road course.
