White,Weatherly ,Lorenzen and they are questionable. Childress was no more than a money man who rode Earnhardt to fame,someone was going too. Elliott couldn't drive a nail ,the only time he ever had success was on super speedways with ALOT more motor.The reason McDonalds quit sponsoring him was they decided they couldn't keep two red headed clowns on the payroll and Ronald had seniority.

Yeah it was K, but you can't dispute what he has accomplished. I might even put him ahead of Yates and Hendrick because he did drive a Cup car some.

rick wheeled a car a little too, not as much as childress though....

from wiki::" "Hendrick drove in two races during the 1987 and 1988 Winston Cup Series, with finishes of 33rd and 15th, respectively. He also had a single start in both the Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck Series

Didn't know that.

Didn't know that.

You didn't miss anything,in the old days "start and park" was profitable.I even saw marty robbins start in Atlanta.I think Bonnett in a woods bros thunderchicken ruled the day though.

 

[specialk]

here you go....all drivers....

on a side note, rex and scott battled a lot on short tracks in VA and NC......promoters would give Scott a lot of Rex's old cars and parts to compete with......Rex is still alive and well living here in GA. As a kid he battled polio too.......

On another side note I picked three of five out of 20 choices and they were weak but that's all that was there.Scott is as good as any of them that were inducted,Bill Elliott is a joke though.Bad one at that,as all that "success" for a few days was owed to Ernie.When the HP came back even(somewhat) "Wild Bill" was done.Earnhardt sent him to several driving classes.WB flunked every one of them cause I was watching most of them in the south east.
