Anthony “Slack” Johnson of Dallas, Texas has spent 48 years in racing. Since 1978, he has competed in nearly every form of motorsports, from running on foot and riding bicycles to motocross, motorcycles and cars.

Racing has been more than a hobby for Slack. To him, it has been a career. His proudest accomplishment is being able to race in all fields of motorsports, and one of his favorite memories is the day he beat “Pretty Tony.”

Inspired by Willie Frank, Slack has always given credit to the sponsors, friends and family who stood behind him. His advice to the next generation is simple: have your funds in order before you get into it. In his own words, he wants to be remembered as the greatest of all time.
