the funny thing is, for those who know of tonys very very generous acts of kindness and charity, tony wouldve gave the money no matter what. hes a great guy and he doesnt forget others. ive heard stories of him being at dirt races and someone cant afford tires or something and tony buys what they need. he never asks for repayment or parades his generosity around. after dale earnhardts death you heard a lot of stories like that about him. one in particular was when a church was having a fundraiser so they could blacktop their parking lot and dale asked how much they needed and they told him, he wrote a check on the spot and said if you tell anyone ill take it back. im sure he had that grin on his face when he said it.
yea we were at "harvick night" in Bakersfield one night and some one ran threw junk that was sitting on the track in a heat race and tony was there and saw them loading the car up and he asked if they broke the motor, and the guy said nope, just lost 2 tires only had one decent spare left.
tony went down to the parts guy got 4 tires and 4 rims and tossed them on his golf cart and went down to the guys pits, stacked them up and drove off
