Junior Johnson was a national treasure, but he was just one of us
Posted Dec 26, 2019
Junior Johnson was bigger than life from the moment we first heard his name, and word of his passing came as a shock to North Carolinians. Especially in this part of the state, where Johnson drove his way out of Ingle Hollow and into the very fabric of Americana. Most everyone has a story to tell about Junior. He was one of us, whether you like it or not.
