Famous NASCAR Stars of Yesteryear

Several Nascar Race fans have no idea in regards to the history of Nascar Racing, it’s popularity was restricted to mostly the southern states. Many of the recent fans know Dale Earnhardt, Richard Petty and Junior Johnsson, but have never heard of a few of the pioneers stars who made the current NASCAR a success. Tickets for Nascar Races are just about sold out for every race this season.

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

Junior Johnson was one of the NASCAR’s first stars, winning six championshipsand won more than fifty races. Junior had a colorful past, he was notorious for delivering moonshine. After retiring from NASCAR Racing in 1966 he moved on to be a race team owner.

Ned Jarret was another early star. Nicknamed “Gentleman Jim”, Jarret was well known for selling one of his race cars to Wendell Scott, the first Black NASCAR participant. Jarret won 2 NASCAR Championships and 50 plus races. He then went into the booth to become an announcer, and his son Dale followed shortly in his footsteps and became a race driver.

Past great The son of Lee Petty followed his father into NASCAR, and Richard Petty became the most recognized star Nascar Races has ever seen. Lee was also a great driver, winning 3 championships and the very first Daytona 500. The first Daytona race was so close; it took 3 days before Petty was finally decared the winner. Lee Petty had a late start to his race career, as he did not start racing until he was 35. It did not take long before he was a favorite amongst fans. When he retired from racing, he founded Petty Enterprises, one of the most successful race teams. Richard Petty is NASCAR’s all time winningest driver.

Wendell Scott is a true pioneer, he is the only African American to ever win a NASCAR race. Wendell was a feerless driver from an early stage, racing the (white|neighborhood} foes on his bicycle. After participating for his country in World War II, Scott, like Junior Johnson, began delivering moonshine. He would also attend races, and got his break when a promoter, desperate for a gimmick to fill stadium seats, thought he stir the pot somewhat by putting African Americam in the race. Scott had to deal with racial slurs and white drivers attempting to crash him. He succeeded, and won the only race a black driver has ever won in NASCAR back in 1961. Wendell continued to compete until he was forced into retirement in 1973.
