PAPA Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I noticed the #5 on his car. Im to lazy to do a search so I'll just ask....Was that his old number? If not then what was it? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. When we first started racing at THR, Junior and Shawn ran twin super stocks. They were 5 and 15, and I believe Junior's was the 5 car. The Daisy next to his name over the door is special too - in remembrance of his late wife Daisy I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dano36 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Junior, Sorry I missed your return to the oval but the heat kind of got too me Friday and pretty much ended any plans I had for Saturday. But I definitely will be there to see you next time. And I want to take a few pics of you and the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 2 Nova's had quite a few wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
