He won 50 NASCAR races in his career before retiring in 1966. In the 1970s and 1980s, he became a NASCAR racing team owner, winning the NASCAR championship with Cale Yarborough and Darrell Waltrip . He produced a line of fried pork skins and country ham . He is credited as the first to use the drafting technique in stock car racing. He was nicknamed "The Last American Hero," and his autobiography is of the same name.
Johnson was born in
Ronda, North Carolina, the fourth of seven children of Lora Belle (Money) and Robert Glenn Johnson, Sr.
His family is of
Ulster Scots
descent, and settled in the foothills of North Carolina in the eighteenth century. The Johnson family was involved in the whiskey business before he was born. His maternal great-grandfather served as the second-highest-ranking Confederate general in North Carolina.
His father, a lifelong
bootlegger, spent nearly twenty of his sixty-three years in prison, as their house was frequently raided by revenue agents. Junior was arrested and spent one year in prison in Ohio in 1956-57 for having an illegal still, although he was never caught in his many years of transporting bootleg liquor at high speed.
In 1955, Johnson began his career as a NASCAR driver. In his first full season, he won five races and finished sixth in the 1955 NASCAR Grand National points standings.
In 1958 Johnson won six races.
In 1959, Johnson won five more NASCAR Grand National races (including a win from the pole position at the
1959 Hickory 250); by this time he was regarded as one of the best short-track racers in the sport.
His first win at a "superspeedway" came at the
Daytona 500
in 1960. Johnson and his
crew chief,
Ray Fox, were practicing for the race, trying to figure out how to increase their speed, which was 22 miles per hour (35 km/h) slower than that of the top cars in the race. During a test run, a faster car passed Johnson. He noticed that, when he moved behind that car, his own car's speed increased because of the faster car's
slipstream. Johnson was then able to stay close behind the other car until the final lap of the test run, when he used the "slipstream" effect to slingshot past it. By using this technique, Johnson went on to win the 1960 Daytona 500, despite that his car was slower than others in the field. Johnson's technique was quickly adopted by other drivers, and his practice of "drafting" has become a common tactic in NASCAR races.
In 1963 he had a two-lap lead in the
World 600
at
Charlotte
before a spectator threw a bottle onto the track and caused a crash; Johnson suffered only minor injuries. Johnson also tried to qualify for the
1963 Indianapolis 500
but he failed to qualify.
He retired as a driver in 1966. In his career, Johnson claimed 50 victories, 11 at major speedway races. He retired as the winningest driver never to have a championship.
Johnson was a master of
dirt track racing. "The two best drivers I've ever competed against on dirt are Junior Johnson and
Dick Hutcherson," said two-time NASCAR champion
Ned Jarrett. ADVERT SIZE: SEE PHOTO FOR DIMENSIONS (ALL DIMENSIONS IN INCHES)   **For multiple purchases please wait for our combined invoice. Shipping discount are  ONLY  available with this method.  Thank You .
