A Tribute To 'Fireball' Roberts By Red Schuyler What Babe Ruth vu to base ball, what Red Grange was to football, what jack Dempsey was to boxing, what Jesse Owens was to track, what Stringier Lewis was to wrest ling, Glenn "Fireball" Ro berts was to stock car racing. When you speak of sports, these are the names that you are most likely to think of first . . . mention baseball and you immediately think of Babe Ruth, mention football and you think of Red Grange, and any sport that you mention there's always one name that stands out. Now it just seems that the name Fireball Roberts was destined to be the name you would most likely to re you would most likely re member when it comes to stock car racing. To thousands of people from all walks of life "Fireball" was Mr. NASCAR. . . Just as Yankee stadium is known as the house that Babe Ruth built, to me, the tracks at Darling ton, Charlotte, Atlanta, and Daytona are the tracks that Fireball built. Sure, there were other drivers, but most of the people came to see Fireball drive. 1 can see him now walking along the infield rail, anxiously awaiting the words "Gentle men, start your engines." These were the words he seemed to live for. He walked straight as an arrow with head tield high. Not only did it give me a thrill to see him competing in a race, 1 could even feel my blood tingle just to see him walk. It gave me a very good feeling just to point him out to some of my racing friends. If you were sitting beside me you could sense that when I spoke of him that possibly I was bragging, and if you did, you were right. You see, 1 had the pleasure of talking to the "Fireball" quite a few times. 1 am sure that "Fire ball" did not know me, but I felt that since 1 had talked with him this gave me the right to say to myself that 1 knew "Fireball", not as a personal friend, but as just a friend. I am sure that there are thous ands of people who feel the same as I did. As I write this I can't help but think of the many things that "Fireball" did or said. These things will be some of my cherished memories. One that really stands out, one that I would like to share with you Is one time down at Dar ington after the race was over, my young son end I were in the pit area, as were most times after a race. We were going around talking to the drivers and getting them to autograph his race program. We came upon the "Fireball". He was busy as he was always signing and autographing pro grams. You could see he was tired but he never refused to give his autograph. He was leaning upon the infield guard rail, and when Chris crawled over the guard rail, he acci dently kicked over a can of beer that "Fireball" had set down. Chris gave him his program and asked for his autograph. Fireball looked down at Chris and noticed that he had kicked over the can and said, "I don't believe I should give you my autograph, you turned over my can of beer." He then gave Chris a big grin, rubbed him on his head, said he was just kidding, and autographed his program. Then there was the time at Weaver ville when "Fireball" came to race and they would not let him run. This you probably can't understand. At this particular time, or just a few days before, Curtis Turner, Tim Flock, and Fire ball and several other drivers were trying to organize the drivers Into an association whereby they might have more representation than they had or that they are still without. A few days later Fireball was reinstated, but to this day Tim Flock, and Curtis Turner are still barred from par ticipating in any race sanc tioned by NASCAR. Seems like racing needed the "Fireball" and It was a smart move by NASCAR In reinstating him. This writer and a lot of other people still think that the drivers are getting the short end of the deal when it comes to splitting up the profits from the races. Possibly you arguethatthe track owners and promoters risk their money by building these super tracks, and I agree with you on this. But the drivers also have a lot at stake by putting a lot of money in a car before it is ready to race. Then they are also risking their lives. Now which is the greater risk? Sure drivers can't race without tracks, and neither can races be run without drivers. The drivers have to compete on the terms set up by NASCAR or else they can't run. Many people who condemn racing, just like they condemn football when they hear of someone getting hurt, or box ing, or in any sport when there is a certain element of danger involved. Most times these persons are the ones that never go to a race, football game, or box ing match. In what other country in the world do you find as many people attending sporting events as you do in this county? The American people like competition; they like to be challenged. Twenty years ago you would have said it was impossible to put a man on the moon. The Russian people said they could and would. The U. S. accepted the challenge and are now in a race to see who will be first, and I'll bet that we will be the first on the moon. I know of no reason why any one wants to be on the moon except that its a challenge and a race with Russians. You see it is the comoetiton and the challenge and the accept ance of this that makes theU.S. the best possible place to live. That Is the way It is in auto racing. It was a chall enge to Fireball to be the first one across the finish line in any race he ever partici pated in. Even though he did not win every race he entered, he won more races than any other person as of today. In practically every race he en tered he was always the man to beat. No wonder he held more records than anyone else. Never could he reconcile him self to the fact of getting beat, or being an "also ran." 1 remember the time in At lanta when he drove three different cars in the same race. The first car developed mechanical trouble, he got a ride in another car and this one also gave out on him, he secured a third car, but by this time it would have taken a miracle for him to even finish close. He wanted to race and that's what he did every chance he got. Racing was his life. He was doing what he liked to do and what he could do best, and to Fire ball that was getting the most out of life. Even though he died young, 1 am sure that he lived a fruitful life. It never occurred to me that Fireball wouldn't make It after getting It In Charlotte. I just knew he would win this race . . . this race with life Itself. This was die biggest of all races he would ever be In. To prove what a competitor he was, he battled in this race for life for thirty-nine days after having more than 70 per cent of his body burned. Most people would have given up, but not the "Fireball". He did not know that die words "give up" existed. He wanted to win this race. I . I am sure he wanted to be able to race again, but I can't help but believe that he sensed that he would never race again. Condemn the sport if you like but remember that Joe Weatherly, Eddy Sachs, Dave McDonald and Glenn "Fire ball" Roberts died doing what they were best at doing and doing what they liked doing best. And do you know that be fore leaving this earth of ours, there was another first for the "Fireball"... his funeral was held Sunday in Daytona Beach, Fla. This was the first funeral ever held on a Sunday In Daytona Beach due to an ordinance forbidding funeral on Sunday. So, even in death, the "Fireball" con tinued to set a record and again be first. In closing, remember that "human limits are not un bearable . . .but a challenge." Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Sav age left Thursday for Winston Salem where they were join ed by their daughter, Mrs. Charles Reavis, and from there they left for the World's Fair at New York, and will go from there .to Toronto, Canada to attend the Inter national Lions Convention.
