Except that he keeps leading these races, keeps ending up at the front and keeps pushing everyone else to their wins! He has 4 top 5 finishes in points paying Sprint Cup restrictor plate races in the last 3 years. Its true Junior has been collected as much as anyone else. If he's not is collected, he'll be at the front - you can count on it!

You thought he "lucked his way into 2nd" at last year Daytona 500? He was racing by himself there...

I've always wondered if the Aero-coupes were any faster than the regular 4th gens. More aerodynamic and such.

Classic NASCAR Photo of the Day: Eddie Pagan vs. the Wall at Darlington, 1958.

He got out of that car with only minor cuts and brusies, allegedly....
