RIP Junior Johnson

WOW I didn't even know or "figure" he was still alive. This couple of decades is for certain an end of an era. Between rules changes bean counters, and no incentive for any real innovation, you have to wonder where racing, in general is headed. By the way, Bill Simpson also just passed on
 
R.I.P. Junior Johnson

I grew up watching NASCAR in the late 60's and 70's, those early racers were the true pioneers and innovators. They risked it all, some lost it all, and left us with some incredible memories.
 
Junior Johnson was a master at cheating. I admire his resourcefulness during those competitive days of real stock cars.

As they said in the day, it's not cheating, but interpreting the rules in a way that works for you.

was he the one who ran several extra loops of fuel line between the tank and the engine?
 
I don't remember the exact whole story, but Junior was going to quit Nascar at some point. Bill France and JJ were eating breakfast and France told JJ he could not quit because he was committed to racing. JJ told France, see that Ham? That pig is committed to this breakfast. See those Eggs? That chicken is just involved with breakfast. JJ said, see the difference??? We need more folks like Junior Johnson, RIP Junior.
