Historic NASCAR Stars of The Past

Most Nascar Race fans have no idea in regards to the history of Nascar Racing, it’s popularity was geographraphically located in Southern & South Eastern States. Most of the recent fans have heard of Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt, but have never heard of a few of the pioneers stars who helped make the current NASCAR a success. Nascar Sprint Cup Tickets are almost out of tickets for this season.

Bill France Sr. founded NASCAR in 1948 on February 21st. France selected Erwin Baker aka “Cannonball” as the very first NASCAR Commissioner. Baker was already very well known, having raced previously at Indianapolis and set over 100 land speed records. There is a transcontinental race named after Baker.

Junior Johnson not to be confused with Jimmy Johnson was one of the NASCAR’s earliest stars, winning six racing championshipsand more than 50 overall races. Junior had a colorful past, he was notorious for delivering moonshine. After retiring from NASCAR Racing in 1966 he went on to be a team owner.

Ned Jarret the father of Dale Jarret was another early star. Nicknamed “Gentleman Jim”, Jarret was well known for selling one of his race cars to Wendell Scott, the first African American Nascar Driver. Jarret won 2 NASCAR Championships and 50 plus races. He then became an announcer, and his son Dale followed in his footsteps and became a race driver.

Past great The son of Lee Petty followed his dad into NASCAR, and Richard Petty became the biggest star Nascar Races has ever seen. Lee was also a great driver, winning three championships and the first running of the Daytona 500. The first Daytona race was so close; it took three days before Petty was declared the winner. Lee Petty had a late start to his race career, as he did not start driving until he was 35. It did not take long before he was a fan favorite. When he retired from racing, he founded Petty Enterprises, one of the more successful race teams. Richard Petty is NASCAR’s all time winningest driver.

Wendell Scott is a historic driver, he is the only African American to ever win a NASCAR race. Wendell was a daredevil from an early stage, racing the (white|neighborhood} foes on his bicycle. After serving in World War II, Wendell Scott, like Junior Johnson, began delivering moonshine. He would go to the races, and got his break when a promoter, desperate for a gimmick to fill the seats, thought he would spice things up a bit by putting African Americam in in a real race. Scott had to deal with reacial aspect and white drivers attempting to wreck him. He endured, and won the only race negro driver has ever won in NASCAR in 1961. Wendell forged ahead and continued to race until injuries forced him into retirement in 1973.
