No sport offers up a more bewildering array of souvenir crap memorabilia than NASCAR, and They Make It digs deep into the corners of the Internet to bring all that strangeness to light. Today: it's cracklin' good!
The item: Junior Johnson brand pork cracklin's, only $15.95 from JuniorJohnson.org.
The deal: Whee-doggie! Ain't nothin' better with a race than the sweet n' salty taste of Junior Johnson ... Junior Johnson pork cracklin's, that is. (What part of the pork is the cracklin' from, anyway? Probably best we don't think about it.) Anyway, I can't think of any better way to commemorate a NASCAR and bootleggin' legend than with these fried hunks of pork fat. Dee-licious! Gosh, I wonder what snack foods other drivers might endorse ...
The hat tip: Reader Mack Wingfield, who recalls seeing these in a "run-down grocery store" as a kid. If you've got some similar fried goodness or other NASCARiana for us to check out, hit us up at jay.busbee@yahoo.com.
