If anyone is interested in seeing old video of Junior Johnson and his shop, please watch the Nascar Hall of Fame video of Junior Johnson on Speed. I believe they are re-airing the episode all week on speed. It has great shots not only of the old garage throughout the years, but also the original house that Junior grew up in. I seriously want to track down the video of that one interview they had of Junior at his old original house. It looked like it was from the late 60's.

Hi, visited Juniors shop years ago. Stopped at office and receptionist said they were all over at N. Wilksboro for quailfying so I couldnt get a tour but the shops were open so if I wanted to go back and look around I was welcome. Jumped on that offer and had a great time looking. The shops were a bunch of different buildings, body, trans & gears, engine shops, car assy shop. One interesting thing was this was back when he still ran Chevrolets but there were quite a few Ford race engines in the shop & a storeroom. In fact there was one Ford motor on the dyno. HMMM ????? Also as posted earlier there were bits & pieces behind the shops especialy the body shop. I came upon a large pile of bent up sheet metal and one "unique" pile. it was from a white car used in a nostalgia race and driven by Junior. There were many body pieces with "JUNIORS DO NOT TAKE" written on them. Wish I was able to hone in on a year. If you are ever near there its out in the middle of nowhere but a ride well worth it.
