    My daughter is a huge sports fan, especially NASCAR, and she just showed me the article about his passing.
    One of the pioneers of the sport.

    Think of the championship drivers he's had over the years--Cale Yarborough, Darrell Waltrip, Bill Elliott (POST Championship, but still)

    Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

    He is so famous, he even made the lyrics of a Brice Springsteen song.

    Cadillac Ranch

    "James Dean in that mercury '49
    Junior Johnson runnin' through the woods of Carolina
    Even Burt Reynolds in that black Trans Am
    All gonna meet down at the Cadillac ranch"
