Part of the reason I loved NASCAR where because of guys like Junior, Dale Sr, and other like them. Blue collar guys who did their work and did it the right way. Junior was a throw back to the good old days and an innovator of many of the rules in the NASCAR rule book. He and Smokey Unick pretty much created the NASCAR rule book. So much respect for a man who help grow the sport of auto racing in many different aspects. From a moonshiner to a NASCAR hero, NASCAR Hall Of Famer, and all around damn good human being. The world could use more folks like Junior. You just don't find folks like Junior anymore.
