sc49erfan15 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Buddy BakerYes. Finally, someone's stopped the bleeding! Buddy Baker it is.I. Elzie Wylie Baker, Jr. - better known as Buddy. At 6'6" (one of the tallest drivers in NASCAR history) ...you'd probably rather call him Buddy.II. Buddy hails from Florence, SC, just a few miles from Timmonsville, SC - home of 4-time 500 winner Cale Yarborough.III. Baker is one of only eight drivers to complete a career Grand Slam (Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600, Aaron's 499 Winston 500, and the Southern 500). He is the only one of the eight never to be crowned Sprint Cup champion.IV. For the 1991 Daytona 500, five cars ran paint schemes for the five branches of the U.S. military. Baker drove the #88 "Marines" car. This was the first instance of special paint schemes in NASCAR.Hints: Elzie Wylie Baker, Sr. was better known as Buck Baker, and is in the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

jc... Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 That 1991 Daytona 500 was Buddy's first race in a Pontiac since 1982. He generally drove Oldsmobile's at the tail end of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 That 1991 Daytona 500 was Buddy's first race in a Pontiac since 1982. He generally drove Oldsmobile's at the tail end of his career.He drove some great looking cars at the end of his career as well.It appears that Buddy had a penchant for reflective/foil numbers (no longer allowed, BTW)... I'd have to agree, I think they look pretty sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Round 13:I. Despite my legions of fans, I only won this once.II. I am tied for this NASCAR record.III. It's not exactly what its name implies, but I was part of it.IV. A coach in another sport wears my number to honor me.V. I won dozens of races at Daytona.Who am I?

sc49erfan15 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 I tried not to make it completely obvious... but it is the Man in Black, the Intimidator, Dale Earnhardt, Sr.I. Earnhardt had (and has) one of the largest NASCAR fan followings - but only won the Most Popular Driver award once, posthumously, in 2001.II. Earnhardt is tied with Richard Petty for the most Sprint Cup championships, with 7.III. During the 1987 Winston, Earnhardt was forced into the infield grass by Bill Elliott, but held his lead. This is known as the "Pass in the Grass" despite Earnhardt, well, not passing anybody.IV. Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost wears #3 to honor Earnhardt.V. Earnhardt won a total of 34 races at Daytona, but victory lane after the 500 eluded him - until 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
