Nice to know there is still some good in the world.
An older gentleman was eating dinner alone at Clarence's in Martinsville tonight and wearing a @J_Allgaier shirt. A group of #NASCAR fans sitting in a nearby booth called his waitress over and took his check. When waitress told him his dinner was paid he asked the group why. One woman in the group said, "Sir, with what he did to win that shit, you deserve to celebrate too." He was overwhelmed with emotion.
