Junie Donlavey Sells It All

Junie did racing with class 100% of the time. A fine example of a great racer and even better man...
His name and efforts will not be forgotten and will go down in auto racing history for sure.
Nice write up Dave.

Thank you Jeff. I thought I had David mention it when I worked with him in '85...That was the only account that I had heard and never heard about it again.

There is one incicdent that was never talked about much but if my memory serves me correctly,
Seems I remember thataround '83 or '84 David Pearson took offense tothe late Tim Richmondgiving him the one finger salute for some reason in the Firecracker race in Daytona and followed him to the garage area where he quickly with one hand ''gave him his respect''.
Anyone else remember this, or did I dream it?

Dave,
I believe it was Sam Sommers at Myrtle Beach that Roy took a tire tool to and was reprimanded by Nascar...He put a hurt on Sam's head that night for sure. Roy was little but carried a mean ''swing''.
I also experienced the pistol thing one night at the old Leland racetrack and YES I know that one can get under a trailer that fast...

It seems they don't call him Boris ''SAID'' for nothing..I would kinda, sorta lay my money on Said head in the fisticuff dept.if I were judging by impression.

Open Participation/Everybody Post: Who Finished Last in the 1st Cup/GN/Strictlly Stock Race You Attended or Watched?

I keep seeing Bunkie Blackburn appear which reminds me of a slightly humorous story about a race involving Bunkie...In the mid to late 60's Hoss Ellington purchased A 64 Grand National (as it was called way backyonder) Galaxie from Elmo Langley...
His first foray into Big time stock car racing took place at Daytona , of course...Being straight from a 60 Ford Starliner dirt Eastern Late Model to the G.N. Galaxy at Daytona's paved high banks was definitely something different..So different in fact that with 5 laps or so to go in the Permatex 300 (sportsman) race he found himself in front....To make this part of the story short he finished 2nd. to Bunkie Blackburn.
Now to the humorous part, after listening to to that race on the radio that day as a young boy, I could not believe that my local hero (Hoss) had run that good..I still remember the excitement..To say ecstatic would be the least you could say...
Anyway, fast forward to the mid 80's , Aka Tiki Lounge, Daytona Speedweeks...Sitting in the lounge after a few too many drinks and way too many renditions by Hoss of Eddie Rabbitt's ''I lovea rainy night , I asked him about that race and told him how happy I was at that time and he replied with, "" I could have won that race but I had neverbeen in frontand wasn't too sure aboutwhat to doso I let him around and followed him...True story, You gotta know Hoss.
