Hall of Fame said that he was only 14 years old when he drives moonshines to his father's shopper. He was able to outruns all cops :) This guy is a legend!
Hardest working and one of the most liked in nascar history could only hope to catch one of his breakfast's one day! Nothing but love and best wishes for junior and his family
I wonder if Junior really understands the huge impact he's made on Nascar... A chance phone call he made to an R.J. Reynolds exec is how Winston became the biggest sponsor for Nascar and kept them operating for over 30 years.
He gives a great speech, I think! Always love to hear him talk, whether on a stage, or just hanging out, in the pits, or the shop, or at the store. He is a gracious man. He was in the pits one evening at Hickory Speedway, when his son Robert was racing with us, and he got out of the truck, and walked back to my pit area was, and looked my race car over, and just leaned on the door, chatting with me and the boy there with me that night, just friendly as he could be. I asked him if he would like to drive my car for me that night, lol! And I was dead serious too! He declined, of course, and told me, "awe hell, boy, I can't drive that damn thang, I couldn't climb in it! " We laughed, and he told me to have a good race, and give it hell! I'll always remember that night👍
