Jonathan Day, better known as JJ Da Boss, is the leader of the Memphis racing family. He has been around street racing since he was a toddler when his mother would carry him on her hip to watch his dad and uncle street race. On race nights, JJ usually hops in Ole Heavy, a 4,720-pound, ’49 Chevy pickup that has been in his family for several generations. Though it always feels good to get a gap somebody, JJ values family and honor above raking in the winnings.
