Junior Johnson (1931-), in the 1950s, Johnson became a legend in the rural South by consistently outrunning law-enforcement officials in auto chases while delivering homemade liquor (moonshine) to his customers. Johnson then became a champion NASCAR racer, winning 50 NASCAR races before his retirement.

Was drafting really that unknown or did he just sort of perfect it at the sports beginnings.

Junior "invented" drafting at the Daytona 500,which he used to win with a slower car.

you mean discovered you can't invent something that naturally exists... and it makes me curious as long distance runners and bikers use drafting did they not in the 50's?
IHearitsnotpurple 3 years ago
yes, discovered is the correct term. Junior is credited with being the first car driver to use the technique at the Daytona 500 in 1960, which he won. Others may have used it before him in various sports but in auto racing Junior holds that notoriety.

"Drafting was discovered by stock car racers in the 1959 Daytona 500. Drivers found they picked up speed running closely behind other cars, and as they experimented they found that a line of cars could sustain higher speeds than a single car running by itself."
Maybe he was the first guy to win using it??? and that gave his notoriety. But your a year off.
