Ever wonder what Bill Broderick, “The Hat Man”, has been up to since being let go from his victory lane duties? Well, several weeks ago AutoWeek ran a small blurb stating that Broderick was opening a tavern in Algonquin, IL. Well, I happen to live in Algonquin and noticed that a small riverside bar was being opened. This morning, on my way to work, who should happen to be outside sweeping the front steps? You guess it: The Hat Man himself. I had heard that he had bought the place but had no idea he’d be personally involved. No idea if he’s living around the area or anything or if he’s planning at all to be involved in the day-to-day operations of the place.(StockCarFans – Alan)
