The roof, hood, and trunk of his #43 car were painted white in hopes of being a little cooler in the summer heat. An image of this rare look for the King appears on page 196 of the NASCAR Chronicle by Greg Fielden 2.

Johnson entered the car again at Daytona in 1969 with F1 racer Jacky Ickx at the wheel but Ickx, driving a stock car for the first time, crashed the car in practice leading the team to withdraw form the race. 7. rm posted: 12.06.2019 - 10:31 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Sponsors: 11 - Competition Proven - Holman-Moody 16 - Mercury 22 - Plymouth ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
