While living in North Carolina, I was an acquaintance of Junior Johnson
of NASCAR fame, on whom the movie was loosely based. He was quite a
character. Through the 80's and later, he was the darling of NC
Democrats. He made the rounds of most of the fund raisers, always could
be counted on for a donation.

I didn't agree with his politics, though I thought he was a man one
could count on.
