Jacob Laskey With all those Japanese cars running in it now it ain’t much.Those NASCAR drivers racing today would ride their moma down the asphalt if they thought they could make a buck.
RIP Junior Johnson. A true NASCAR legend, and an amazing person all around. A huge influence to the sport we all know and love. This man was special, and he will never be forgotten.
That makes no sense, I was actually born in America, have lived here my entire life, and respect everyone. No one said anything about not respecting Americans, I've respected every culture my whole life and have helped countless Americans through tough times. America was started as a Christian country, we Christians pray. Why do you think Christmas exists? It's religious and the birthday of Jesus.
once again, we aren't anti-American, this country is open to everyone, and most presidents, celebrities, athletes, people you find on the street, are Christian we never said anything about being anti-American or hating gays, I myself am great friends with a group of about 15 LGBTQ+ members. Please just stop making false accusations of us. If you aren't Christian, good for you, that's who you are. But don't go hating on Christians especially because without us, America wouldn't exist, Christmas wouldn't exist, NASCAR wouldn't exist, and we wouldn't be even close to where we are in society right now. You can have your opinions, but don't hate on us for ours.
The Last American Hero is now racing with the legends of old. You were my hero for all time. The last time I saw you in real life you were throwing gravel at high speed leaving Talladega Motor Speedway. And that's how I'll remember you forever.
Mr. Johnson, you are legend. I have long enjoyed your racing and commentary, your country ham, and enjoyed sipping your shine. You sir, embody the spirit of the South, and the Spirit Of America! Thank You!!!! God bless you and your family! I love your entreprenual spirit and your ORIGINALITY.
I'm reading the posts not knowing what's transpired and I suppose a legend has pass today A man among men the reason there is what there is today I'm only 58 years old I've been involved in a sports since I'm eight years old God Rest Your Soul Junior Johnson you made it worth watching
Junior the Petty's the Allison s were the sport for at least 50years just look at the drivers that drove for him he was the sport for a long long time not to be forgotten
"...and making his debut in the Heaven 500 this afternoon is Junior Johnson. He starts on pole, alongside Dale Earnhardt, with Ayrton Senna, Dan Wheldon, and Mark Donohue rounding out the top 5. Let's go trackside for pre-race ceremonies..."
Grateful to have seen Junior Johnson run at a dirt track in Hillsborough, NC in 1963 when I was 5 years old. His contribution to NASCAR is immeasurable. RIP Mr. Johnson.
They made a movie about J.r. The last American hero. He did a lot to build NASCAR to were it is today. He made the deal with Winston to sponsor the whole grand national series. A mechanical genius,and a very humble man . Rest in peace my hero.
The person that actually made NASCAR what it became by getting WINSTON into sponsoring NASCAR, and let's face it when they left it's been downhill !!!!!
Even if I didn't like Junior, I'd like him now; any man who can make so many front-row types in the audience look so uncomfortable HAS to be telling a lot of truth. Rest in peace Mr. Johnson.
Junior Johnson, Bud Moore, Smokey Yunick, Banjo Matthews, Robert Yates, Ralph Moody, and all other competitors, get them lined up! Green drops in 30 minutes!
;ets induct the older at risk member to the hall so they can experience this alive , glad jr got to enjoy this..... from Hampton Virginia we wil miss the man but the legend continues.. long live Jr. YES!!! ps his working still is in the hall of fame as well... and its been tested and proofed..lol wink..,
JUNIOR JOHNSON'S DEAD ? NO SIR ......JESUS STATES HE'S ONLY SLEEPING AND I BELIEVE HIM , I'AM JUST GOING TO SAY THIS JUNIOR IS WITH THE LORD ,......IN THE END JUNIOR WINS WITH JESUS ....J, J, REST IN PEACE AND GOD'S SPEED .....AMEN
Dam, that sucks. But look at the younger Generation there's alot good Drivers out there, not is all lost, but, yes, That's some huge driving gloves/shoes to fill. For sure... I'm deeply sad.
Junior Johnson isn't dead. He's just one lap ahead of us because of the draft he figured out before us
@Extraordinary no u
@Extraordinary butt pirate
@Extraordinary so r u
Extraordinary It takes a gay man to know what is gay
He's still bootleggin that liquor. ❤❤❤
One of the greatest drivers and team owners ever.
May he rest well.
One of the most clever car builders, as well.
DW: Junior, how many races do you think we can win with this new “setup”?
JJ: Every damn one of em till they catch us.
True story.
R.I.P Junior, its terrible to see a guy like him go, what a hero he was. If it wasn’t for guys like him our sport wouldn’t be what it is.
Jacob Laskey With all those Japanese cars running in it now it ain’t much.Those NASCAR drivers racing today would ride their moma down the asphalt if they thought they could make a buck.
Even with him, it ain't what it used to be. I was it was still stock car racing.
If it wasn’t for guys like him our sport wouldn’t be what it was.
He lived a full life. A rebel, an outlaw, a great driver, and an even better owner.
Thank you for all the awesome memories Junior
It's hard to believe what this man accomplished in his life and still so humble. He is missed by so many. We were lucky to have had a Junior Johnson.
RIP Junior Johnson... NASCAR will miss you..
A man who has seen it all for sure. What a BADASSS
For some reason I felt this coming :(
RIP An Unforgettable Legend
1931-2019
What a humble man, RIP Junior Johnson
Gonna miss Junior Johnson.
R.I.P.
Rest easy Mr. Johnson, you will NEVER be forgotten.
God bless you Junior, you blessed us immensely. RIP.👍
RIP Junior Johnson. A true NASCAR legend, and an amazing person all around. A huge influence to the sport we all know and love. This man was special, and he will never be forgotten.
DW retires the same year Junior Johnson passes away. That's just...wow. May this legend rest in peace
DW aint crap compared to JJ , only in his own mind and yours
I am truley speechless, I pray for Junior's family 🙏💔
Rest In Peace, Junior Johnson
A true NASCAR legend
@2Fine2Be Humble "Be Humble" Maybe change your username and respect our decision idiot.

@2Fine2Be Humble did you read what he said because it doesn't look like it
Legends never die.....never will.
Just one thing to say.
Thanks. 🏁🙏🏻🏁🙏🏻
Always so cool to hear the stories Jr. could tell the way it was , made it the way it is today. RIP Jr.
A man ahead of his time, a legend for all time.
May you Rest in Peace Junior!
A true legend.
R.I.P.
RIP Sir.One of the greatest the sport has ever known.
The Last American Hero is now racing with the legends of old. You were my hero for all time. The last time I saw you in real life you were throwing gravel at high speed leaving Talladega Motor Speedway. And that's how I'll remember you forever.
The next Daytona 500 should be in his honor.
Yes!!!
Yea considering how it is exactly 60 years since last time he won the Daytona 500 in 1960 and 60 years have passed since then.
Junior lived & experienced more in life than 10 people could.
Mr. Johnson, you are legend. I have long enjoyed your racing and commentary, your country ham, and enjoyed sipping your shine. You sir, embody the spirit of the South, and the Spirit Of America! Thank You!!!! God bless you and your family! I love your entreprenual spirit and your ORIGINALITY.
Knew Junior most of my life! No finer man ever lived! I miss him already!

Condolences To The Family !
Love you Mr. Johnson
Let's not forget Flossie's contributions either. Sad day, another of the originals gone.
The person that actually made NASCAR what it became by getting WINSTON into sponsoring NASCAR, and let's face it when they left it's been downhill !!!!!
@Anthony Flemister Not exactly.
Actually in the Nextel Era, viewership for Nascar peaked.
Okay, well then no, they haven't.
@@whoasked9500 Ratings were up nearly across the board this year though, so there's that.
However, the championship finale itself was down from last year, which is terrible news for NASCAR.
Rest in peace man...
Published the day that this man sadly passed away
R.I.P. Junior Johnson

Stock car racing is magic.
Shame that many Hall of Fames don't induct their heroes until very old!

It was a travesty to not include David Pearson in the inaugural hall of fame class.!!!!!
Dam, that sucks. But look at the younger Generation there's alot good Drivers out there, not is all lost, but, yes, That's some huge driving gloves/shoes to fill. For sure... I'm deeply sad.
Seems like a decent guy. I hope he recovers.

Rest In Peace Sir....
