I live 15 miles from his original race shops in Ingall Holler and got to visit them a couple of times over the years. He brought his 65/6 (?) Banana Boat Galaxie for an American Legion baseball pregame show at our local High School. Got to talk to him a few minutes and got a picture of the car and an autograph on a chewing gum wrapper. The autograph has been long lost but I still have the picture somewhere. Junior was an "innovator", some would call it cheater, but he got the job done. May he RIP and a prayer for his wife and kids.
