Just read where Junior Johnson passed away today, age 88. Sad to see the legends leave us. He was a driver ,team owner,had a book written about his exploits, which was made into a movie, The Last American Hero.Describes him to a tee. I think he took the big block Chevy AKA the mystery motor and put it on the pole ay Daytona 10 miles an hour over the other cars. would have liked to have met him.
