I loved NASCAR racing back then and was a big Reagan supporter. Everybody talked about his age but how did he get all that energy to talk to so many people and he did this just about every day. A true gentleman. Great to see him hobnobbing with the NASCAR fans and NASCAR drivers.

Reagan, Petty, and KFC? Now that's a hell of a lot of awesome.

Would appreciate if there weren’t so many video cuts. Want to here his speeches that led him to win Florida by 33 points in the election.

I wonder if Ronnie was a car guy. When they were showing him the engine with the hood up, I'm sure the guys were talking about carburetor venturis and intake manifolds and what the bore and stroke is on that engine, and just wondering if Ronnie was just nodding along or if he really knew what they were talking about.
