Junior Johnson
Dustin Long caught up with the NASCAR legend over the weekend. His Q&A is here.
I liked his defense of points racing:
Q: Is there too much emphasis on the championship in NASCAR now?JOHNSON: No because it pays so dad-blame much money, you're foolish not to try (for it).
In his next breath Johnson says winning races is paramount:
We went after them but we didn't go after them and give up winning races. If I caught a guy trying to win a championship on the race track, his (butt) is in trouble. I went to win every race.
It's cool to win races. But it's hard to be getting a $6 million check in November.

Plus Junior's home at the Yadkin/Wilkes county line is not shabby. I believe the N&R ran a story on it a few years back.
