- During his decades-long career in stock car racing, Junior Johnson has revved plenty of engines and changed plenty of tires. But did you know he's as comfortable in the kitchen as he is in the garage? Let's head to Yadkin County and a feast for the ages.

I’ve eaten many a Juniors breakfasts! There’s no one like Junior! Proud to know him! I miss him!
You lucky dog. Hehehe.
Yesterday, December 21st, 2019 a true Southern Legend and gentleman went home to be with The Lord. Junior Johnson was truly a man for all seasons and his life was full of adventures and accomplishments. Yet, he never forgot who he was and what mattered in his life. To me, he was a true American hero.
My dad and I were wiring his new racing shop right behind that building. Every morning we would show up to work and Junior would come out, always in overalls, and say "you boys eat yet? Come on in and get some breakfast." Ate many times at that table.
I worked at a car wash in Wilkesboro. One day a black Mercedes drove up, Junior stepped out, always in overalls. A buddy and me cleaned up his car and when it was done my friend said "I'd like to have a car like this one day." Junior said, dead serious, "all it takes is money. "
The world would be a better place if we had more people like Junior Johnson. He was the opitome of a true gentleman. God bless him.
I would love to have enjoyed a visit with Junior Johnson and his breakfast table.
I love hearing his life stories. I never met him but I admire and love his life history.R.I.P. ❤❤
Barbara Johnson there will never be another man like Junior! He was one of a kind! I miss him everyday!
Rip Mr Junior Johnson you will be missed
There's only one Junior. God bless him.
Today’s drivers are not like that! Juniors the best!
Met him way back, good man!
Brunch of old southern boy's kicking around. Way to go Mr.J JOHNSON!
The last American hero! Long live Junior Johnson !
I feel blessed to have lived to watch this wonderful man through the years
Now that's what I call living what a Gentleman!! I would have loved to been able to meet that man!!!!
Rest In Peace sir..
We need more men like junior Johnson
What an amazing man he was - RIP.
My all time favorite, Salmon Patties ! Save me a spot at the table please. 😋 RIP Junior 🙏
A protein-based breakfast is definitely something I can get behind.
this is what's lacking in today's society, this new generation of me me me, and no giving just taking.I come from a racing family my grandfather and my dad both raced the original Daytona track, and I've run dirt tracks for over 30 years and I can promise you this you won't ever find a more friendly and giving group of people than you find in racing, no matter what happens on the track it all disappears after the race,and junior Johnson is the ideal image of what racers truly are and stand for,the man is a legend and him along with cale.Ralf Earnhardt the pettys and the rest formed one of the greatest family oriented sports we have
Just some good old boys.
ah man JUNIOR! save me a spot lol! great food great people im a 28 year old man that love great food and great stories you guys look like you have a great time doing that every weekday morning
Salmon patties!!! That brings back memories.
Junior sold his home.No more breakfast get togethers.Thank you Junior for all the great racing memories!
Why did he do that?
Junior Johnson was the one that got Nascar up and running by introducing the Frances to Winston's deep pockets. What a guy Junior was. ..
Junior Johnson was, and will always be, a blessing.
We have a similar thing for the Indy 500 every year. There are a bunch of us that eat at the same place every morning. Hell, I make the trip back every year more for that, than I do the race.
He`s a nice man
Boy I wish I was there
During the early days, my nextdoor neighbor in Jersey, Al Goldstein, used to drive that moonshine from Yadkin County down to the military bases in the flatlands of the piedmont in his army five ton. He was also good friends with Junior Johnson, and his wife actually came from Yadkin too. My son and I were traveling with Al in the '90s from NJ to Fla and back to NJ, and I was looking forward to meeting Junior at his farm; unfortunately Al and my son had a disagreement, so I missed a chance to meet one of the greats. Al went to visit Junior, we stayed in the motel. Anyhow, I love what Junior has to say about the NASCAR of today.
Apparently nobody wanted more cantaloupe.
Real Food by a Real American Hero! Cookie Cake Cars...LOL! (Heah That, Jeff & Jimmie?)
Proud junior was from right here in NC
RIP Junior.....a true Legend
Great video!
Country hospitality....I heard he made biscuits from scratch as good as your grandmother.
Looks like good times
Jim McKay at the mike at 5:26. And Lol Dr. Pepper for breakfast.
Had several breakfasts with Junior!
I love all of that home town.
Good Old boys don't forget about the Mama that raises them boys
I remember when NASCAR made the rule that the Jack man had to keep both hands on the Jack. That stop Junior from slinging that Jack around.
A little bit of America went with him.
Anyone else think the guy on the left in the thumbnail looks dead ass just like Robin Williams?? My lord!
Legend 👏
Last american hero
I bet Tim Brewer went to that breakfast iykyk
cuz wish you were still in good enough condition to do this, I'd be there!!
So he would just feed anyone who walked in for free? The man had a big heart if that's true but how did he afford it... as that's some mighty appetizing fare!
Junior was worth millions. He was no poor man.

Any black folks?
Omfg why....WHY has there always got to be one person bring up race?
I would bet you any amount of money if a black came up to eat they would be treated better than the regulars. White people are really not like they are stereo type. Neither are blacks, hispanics or Asians.
I met the real “Radio” (not Cuba Gooding Jr)” and the coach that took him in as well as the last living Tuskegee airman at Juniors just to name a couple. That man in the white shirt is my grandfather he loved being there every morning.
My childhood hero. Too bad PBS has gotten away from stories like this and have become the Propaganda Broadcasting Service.
