R.I.P. Junior Johnson

[Eagle]

I may be the only person on here old enough to remember when Junior was racing. That was back in the days when stock cars were still more or less cars, rather than custom, tube-framed racing chassis with the same fiberglass body on all of them and a "grille" painted on to look [sort of] like whatever make it's pretending to be.

 

R.I.P., Junior.

“Mr Johnson, do the engineers from Detroit come down to help you out?”

 

”No sir! I help them!”

 

Truly a great man. They don't make em like that anymore.

RIP good Sir.  You had a hell of a good run.  Truly one of the pioneers of the sport.
