I have photos with Frankie, Richard Petty, and maybe some others.

Does a future legend count? 

I went to Darlington a few years ago and walked past a pop-up tent, stopping to double back and chat with Ross Chastain. 

He was sitting there all by himself in a folding chair and I spoke to him one on one for a period of time.  We spoke of the racing scene in Florida and his runs earlier in that year and it was probably 15 minutes or more before my wife cajoled me to move along.  She has a good photo of us standing side by side somewhere but it was kind of cool.

I suspect that we will see his Martinsville move in the highlights all the way to the end of his hall-of-fame career.
