Actually, I think I will.
To Winston and all the others, thank you. Thank you for supporting drag racing and other forms of motor sports. In some of the darkest days over the decades, when many thought racing would die off, you were there spending millions keeping all of this quite unnecessary activity afloat.
Today you are scorned. Many think you are vile and kill people. The truth is, all you ever did was furnish a product that free people wanted. Too many forget, this country, at one time, smoked like a freight train. And they smoked because they wanted to, not because you forced them to.
So thank you Winston and US Tobacco, for all of the support over the years.
