Very accurate story. Nothing taken out of context. I'm humbled to say that Mr. Johnson is a friend of mine. He is, in person, EXACTLY what you see here. Maybe he is or isn't the last American hero, but he sure as hell is a hero of mine! I wish everyone could know him, if for no other reason than to learn how to brag and be humble at the same time. He taught me more than he probably realizes. I hope you get to shake hands with him someday. You'll see why! 😝🙂✌️

In Junior's day, young men were obedient and respectful of there parents, especially their Fathers. In one comment, Junior said he could be 40 years old and if his father asked him to fire up the Still, he would not hesitate to carry out his father's instructions. My family are from the same area Junior grew up at so I can easily relate to the Appalachian culture of some of the finest people one could ever know.

One of the true NASCAR champions plus I had the pleasure of meeting him in Bristol he seen me walking across the parking lot with a case of his cat daddy moonshine he proceeded to holler at me asked me if I would like his signature. He took the time for pictures with me and signed every bottle and proceeded to piss off everybody that was in line waiting because he took me in front of everyone I will never forget it. He gave me a smile for the rest of my life every time I think about it plus I still have a bottle or two lol 😂

My late Father absolutely loved Junior, but Pop knowing his Son absolutely love's Richard Petty he would never openly root for Junior, or Junior's car/driver when we watched the Stocker's ( as Pop called um ) race on TV, or in the stands at Riverside or Ontario. That must of been tough on him starting in 76, when Richard started to fade a bit & suddenly Cale couldn't be beat hardly ☺️ By the time I turned 20 in 81, I was old enough to finally comprehend just what & who JJ was & it was then I started to really appreciate him, Pop knew how to pick um 😉👍 Listen, when Bruce Springsteen start's singing about you in one of his epic tunes, you know you are a True AMERICAN BADDASS! 💪
