Jeff Hammond showed up late, but Herb Nab put him to work any way.
Thinking this was going to be a formal interview with Junior Johnson & Associates, Hammond had made his way from his home in Charlotte to the Johnson team’s shop in Ingle Hollow, in rural North Carolina. He’d gotten lost, but that didn’t seem to matter when he did show up. Nab was already busy repairing damage sustained the day before at Darlington by the team’s driver, Cale Yarborough.
