Junior Johnson’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Junior Johnson was born in the Year of the Goat. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Goat enjoy being alone in their thoughts. They’re creative, thinkers, wanderers, unorganized, high-strung and insecure, and can be anxiety-ridden. They need lots of love, support and reassurance. Appearance is important too. Compatible with Pig or Rabbit.
NASCAR legend won 50 races, sponsored championship drivers, pioneered drafting, and came out with his own line of ham.
In his first win he discovered staying right behind the leading car allowed him to accelerate faster; and so drafting was born.
He published an autobiography, called 'The Last American Hero,' playing off a nickname of his.
His father was in and out of prison for bootlegging pretty much all of young Junior's life.
When it came to dirt tracks, even the great Ned Jarrett admitted there were few people better than Junior.
