I think that traditionally Junior Stock meant the cars from the '50's to include the 55-59 chevys, 58-60 pontiacs, etc.

The end of Junior stock came with the big block cars of the early '60's. 1961 cars under 389ci's were JS, once the over 400ci motors hit the market and the factories got involved the days of JS were over.

Just my opinion but if you brought back JR racing today all you would see would be 55-57 chevies,
