Junior Johnson & Associates - The Rise and Fall

[@rosschastainfan1851]

Another example of Junior Johnson running his team with an iron fist would be the immediate firing of long time crew chief and 53 time winner for the team, Tim Brewer. The firing of Brewer right after the 1992 Hooters 500 is what broke the camels back in my opinion for the team.

[@joboots007]

Also Alan’s tragic end near Bristol the next April somewhat left Junior cursed during his last few seasons given the way he reacted when Alan said he wanted 2 do things his way,thus stealing Maxwell House from right under AKR’s rug!!!!

[@scjacket611]

This was the decision that spelled the end of Junior Johnson. Unforgivable. Elliott knew then he was gone after 1994

[@Slinger43]

Tim's firing had everything to do with his testifying against Junior during his divorce case, from his wife of many decade's, Flossy Johnson & not anything to do with on-track racing. A Man like Junior Johnson lives by the code of the feud, as far as Junior was concerned, Bling-Bling Brewer betrayed him 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@scjacket611]

@@Slinger43 right. And he ruined his team

[@Slinger43]

@@scjacket611 Actually no, Junior walked away & belly'd up his race team, because of NASCAR's tightening up the rule book. Like I said in my previous comment, Junior lived by the code of the feud & as far as he was concerned, after all he had done for NASCAR in the past, they're fine'n him $100K for what they deemed an illegal carburetor, was an outright betrayal, so having many different interest's in his already got it made life, he simply quit the sport & walked away 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@bigacattlellc.7419]

“Boy, if you can’t win in this car you need to be bagging groceries or something.” Junior had some of the best quotes.

[@meachster4316]

I worked on Junior’s house near North Wilkesboro several times and he was truly a man of few words. I had to climb into the crawl space of his house and was amazed to see a stash of NASCAR trophies there!

[@travismartin311]

I spent a lot of time in that house as a kid. Flossie would babysit my two older brothers and I.

[@benhampton9593]

Firing of Brewer was the end. Tim Brewer just got it done with a lot of drivers. He was a winner.

[@johndornoff]

Another factor in the downfall of his race teams was the divorce from his long-time wife Flossie in 1992. While he was able to keep the race teams in the divorce settlement I believe the repercussions from the divorce contributed to the downfall. He married his trophy wife about the time the race teams were sold and he had other things on his mind including having children.

[@mrt601]

Can't wrap my head around it sure I can find the lure of wanting to hit a young girl but hit it and quit it at the end of the day what are you going to talk about the latest pop star and the constant self evaluation of knowing how does this girl find me attractive sure money can be attractive but that's a hollow kinda relationship there's an old saying there's no fool like a old fool especially chasing children around at what's supposed to be your golden years and time for relaxation and leisure but this is all conjecture don't know the man personally so maybe he's getting what he deserves

[@Rip4vid2c]

Very good point about the divorce. Both the 11 and 12 teams originally had different owners and had different but feet apart locations. Junior had to purchace out of bankruptcy the 12 team then the divorce came later. Very interesting reading form my subscription of "Grand National Scene"

[@bluorangefyre]

I was just about to say that. Also, not noted was that both Junior and Brewer were suspended at one point in 1990. And I mean an actual suspension; the 11 car itself couldn't run. So, Junior had to transfer his team to Flossie, which showed up with a different number (I think 97) for a few races.

[@danielbullock4703]

@@bluorangefyre It was actually in 1991. They got caught running a illegal engine in The Winston, at the same time Geoff Bodine was out with a injury as well.

I'm glad someone finally said something other than junior was a sort of saint. He was a nasty ignorant piece of work and it shouldn't be overshadowed or forgotten no matter how much he accomplished. Great video though

[@israelmathes6268]

Nasty I will give you, but he was not ignorant. He was an extremely smart man.

[@edmondcamp2878]

He might not have had any formidable education but he was extremely smart. He’s the won that got Chevrolet back in racing and the won that got Winston to sponsor NASCAR. He had that mystery engine nobody could figure out. Terry Labonte said when he drove for him it was amazing what that man knows about a race car. Plus I didn’t know this until recently he got Dale Earnhardt his ride with Bud Moore and then Richard Childress and also helped Bill Elliott with his ride in the No.9 car. Nasty I’ll give you him and Bill Elliott got to fooling around with those Budweiser girls and cost them both their marriages. Tim Brewer said Junior called him from Atlanta with Tim up in Charlotte and said Tim I want you fly down here and get us and Brewer said no Junior I’m not gonna fly down there a pick you and that slut up. Brewer was very loyal to Miss Flossie I believe.

[@THEDonnyB]

It's also interesting that Dale Earnhardt's first championship came over Cale Yarborough who drove for Junior Johnson.

[@GoBucs76]

[@rosschastainfan1851]

[@gooseflatwaterfowlers]

I think the main reason Junior got out was the technology passed him by I imagine he didn’t have the engineering aspect like the bigger teams at the time. Junior was a great mind in finding power and having a bunch of creativity in his cars

[@fatpatlives1998]

He saw the HMS, Roush, Gibbs organizations on the rise. That's too much money to compete with. I'm surprised RCR is still hanging in there currently!

[@gooseflatwaterfowlers]

@@fatpatlives1998 I hope RCR stays around for a long time I’ve always been a fan since I was an Earnhardt fan many years ago. I think there’s going to be a big owner change with big teams in the next few years.

[@juniorjohnson5961]

Thanks 🙏

[@RogerBates7]

​@@fatpatlives1998it's easy to forget, because of the lean years they've had post Earnhardt and Harvick, but RCR is still one of the top teams in NASCAR. Performance-wise, that hasn't been the case before the last couple of years, but in terms of money and relationships with sponsors, they're on very solid ground. They're also well connected with GM, which helps.

[@quasimoto7662]

Several reasons naturally. I had heard that Johnson made some bad business deals around the early 90’s and it simply caught up to him in the funds department. Sponsors were willing to stay with him but it simply wasn’t enough. Not only that, but what you said about “burning bridges”. Some of which wasn’t really his total fault like Lee Roy or Bobby Allison, but others were. Think of how many good drivers of that time drove for Junior: Lorenzen, Dieringer, Isaac, Allison, Bonnett, Waltrip, Cale Yarborough, Lee Roy Yarbrough, Labonte, Bodine, Elliott, Marlin: guys who all accomplished so much in the sport, most of whom are hall of fame drivers in their own right, and all did things to prove their case outside of driving for Junior. By 1995 Junior simply had burned too many bridges to recover, and really there was no one else to drive for him or be crew chief that was really anything realistically established, leaving him with Brett Bodine and goddamn Loy Allen. Junior Johnson was a genius. That’s undeniable. He just sometimes was too smart for his own good, and that isolated a lot of people.

[@H0LLOW_PRIV]

I've been anticipating this one ever since you've started this series! Woo

[@michaelmarburger1003]

Actually, I had heard several times before that Junior was unhappy with the direction the sport was going in. The late 80s and early 90s was a big transitional period for the sport. More and more the sport was popularized advertised and commercialized. More and more fans were being attracted to the sport and more and more businesses were pouring more money into the sport. Junior was an old school owner and really did not keep up with the times the way most teams of that era did. Junior in his hay day had creative innovations incorporated into his cars and the new commercialized nascar with more inspectors were catching juniors innovations and kept his cars from being as competitive as they once were. Some people that don’t know him well saw his as a cantankerous old b@stard but to me he was the true embodiment of a nascar legend that I am proud to say that I was able to meet in person and by the way about 1/4 of the current nascar rule book is directly or indirectly attributed to Mr. Johnson and his creative innovations.

[@mrt601]

And let's not forget he was a chicken farmer first and foremost

[@elbarto9306]

I especially liked the story of the intake manifold that could pass inspection, and when the engine was up to speed, the floor dropped out and the engine flowed way more than allowed lol lol Also his moonshine story of giving the Wilkes county Sheriff a ride to the courthouse in a car fully loaded with liquor lol

[@forgeFe21]

DW fired by Junior? Well, according to DW (while being interviewed by Dale Jr.) he was offered a contract from Rick Hendrick. DW approached Junior with this information at which time Junior stated to DW, "You need to go and take that deal." The "conversation" ended without Junior even attempting to make DW a counter offer. The barn door opened, and Darrell walked.....

[@lynnshaffer1151]

Very good video Danny; keep these coming. As far as your question, I think there were several reasons. First, I think that Junior had lost his drive to dominate the sport. He said several times that he couldn’t be innovative anymore without NASCAR fining him $100k for nothing. The engineers and computers were replacing the old school crew chiefs. Two, after DW, he never had the hard charger driver like Cale, Leroy, or Bobby Allison. Terry, Geoff, and Bill were damn good drivers but they weren’t “hard nose drivers” that would take a 10th place car and win with it. They (including DW after 1984) were more calculated drivers who didn’t take a lot of chances (they still got results though) so I don’t think that they were good fits for Juniors mentality. Third, he didn’t expand his operation like Childress, Hendrick, Penske, etc; he was still operating out of his shop in his back yard. Those owners were building state of the art race shops and eventually brought engineering to the sport. The days of the shade tree mechanic having a race team were over in the early 90’s. Finally, I do think some of the stubbornness came back to bite him. When he and Tim Brewer disagreed over a pit call at Dover in 92, many thought that Elliott lost the title there because the team wasn’t the same after that. They had one final blow up at the Hooters 500 leading to Brewer getting fired. His race team was never the same after that from a performance standpoint. Throw those four reasons into the pot and stir it up, you’ll see why his organization eventually faltered leading him to sell out. I really hate that he had to exit the sport because he’s probably my all-time favorite innovator, owner, and NASCAR hero. But just like every other thing in life, All good things must eventually come to an end.

[@carrsllccarrillo6507]

Great video here. All this time that I have been a nascar fan, I never knew the story about how Junior "did dirty" to Alan for taking Maxwell House sponsorship away. It's quite unreal that happened. But in the end Alan did it his way and took that championship trophy from his rival ford team in that 'Underbird! I'm not sure if it's true but I also heard that Tim Brewer was fired during the race because of miscalculating the fuel milage at the final race at Atlanta in '92. You mentioned about the 'curse' of Alan that plagued Johnson's team afterwards... Well I'm not much of a skeptic but I can't get over what my dad did to Darrell Waltrip in '92. Small story: Davey Allison was my dad's favorite driver. D.A. was on the verge of winning the Winston Million at the Mountain Dew Southern 500 at Darlignton. However, mother nature and Darrell Waltrip had other plans and threw a wrench to the Havoline Team objective. During the rain delay D.W. was leading the race while Davey was in 5th. The event became a rain shortened race and then Nascar officially declared D.W. the winner. On that day my dad was so mad, he cursed out D.W. and said "May he never win another race again!" ...eventually that became true as 'ol D.W. never saw another cup win since that day!

[@vinewood8295]

I leave it alone, Jr did his thing & won a lot of races and championships as a driver and car owner. I would say overall his career was an overwhelming success, I wouldn't even call it a downfall I say he got out when the getting was good...

[@scjacket611]

Except he did not get out when it was good. He got out after winning just one race in three years and being left with friggin Brett Bodine being the best driver he could attract. He got out because he'd fallen from an elite team to a backmarker.

And more to the irony to that Earmhardt and Darell story is that decades later Dale Earnhardt's son Dale Jr. Would have Budweiser as his main sponsor for the first 8 years in his cup career then when he moved to Hendrick Motorsports eventually Mountain Dew would be one of his primary sponsors

There are other contributing factors about Juniors team not doing well in the nineties except with Bill Elliott but Junior himself said NASCAR got so knit picky with his cars looking for things that wasn’t even there it was down right ridiculous so he got fed up with it and closed his operation down after 1995.

He should have learned how to bend a little when he was going through drivers like the Cleveland Browns go through QB's not going to find a lot of success with that veteran QB around.

Other sports realize long ago not to allow a few with money to outspend other teams. NASCAR did not take the same road. Salary caps or spending caps could have saved the smaller operations like Juniors, Pettys, Wood Brothers etc. With Hendricks, Penske etc they have unlimited money to buy speed. Unlimited money for technology. It's simple a 4 million dollar team can not complete with a 18 million dollar team. NASCAR just look at open wheel IRL.

Lots of things. Relationships gone sour between Junior in 1986 and DW and Tim Brewer after 1992. A bad business deal between Junior and Warner Hodgdon.
