Lee Roy Yarbrough
Stock Car Racing History
Hey great feature on Lee Roy. As a youngster in 69, I was a big fan of Lee Roy's and I'm always looking for stories on him. The only thing with your story is he raced for Junior Johnson beginning in 1968 and I believe his last win was in the October race at Charlotte. And you are right when you say he doesn't get the recognition he derserves. I've always thought Lee Roy was the man who could race hard back then. Thank you.... Oh I would love to find pictures of Lee Roy's car after the 69 Rebel 400 where he and Bobby Allison wrecked a couple laps from the end and Lee Roy was able to limp home the winner under caution.
