Nascar's Most Wanted

Book of Outrageous Drivers

In the early 1980s, a brash, young Darrell Waltrip, nicknamed "Jaws" for his off-the-cuff one-liners, challenged an entire crowd of booing fans to brawl with him in a store parking lot.
In 1973, Cale Yarborough dominated a race for 126 laps before single-handedly wrecking his car into a retaining wall, while under the caution flag. On a Friday afternoon in 1959, Ned Jarrett bought a race car with a bad check, then beat the check to the bank on Monday morning to deposit the prize money he'd made racing all weekend.

Arranged in top-ten lists, Nascar's Most Wanted features over 300 accounts of the most outspoken drivers, the wildest wrecks, and the most amazing records, both good and bad, ever set.
