Lee Roy was one of the best superspeedway drivers in NASCAR history. He joined Junior Johnson's race team in 1967, and it was a perfect match. "Lee Roy had the most raw talent I've ever seen." said Junior. Unfortunately, injuries he received in a crash shortened his career. He died in an institution while battling alcholism in 1984.
