Junior Johnson's moonshining days were just the start of a remarkable journey that would see him revolutionize the sport of stock car racing. From a stint in jail, to discovering the drafting technique that forever changed how cars raced, to owning a championship-winning team and receiving a presidential pardon, Junior was the true definition of a maverick. But beyond his impressive win record, what was it about Junior that made him such an iconic figure in the sport? How did the unconventional skills from his bootlegging days give him a unique edge on the track? In what ways did his rebellious persona shape his legacy as one of the most influential pioneers in NASCAR history? Today on Past Gas, the last American hero: Junior Johnson.
