muggle not's NASCAR TRIVIA thread

[slorydn1]

DJ got it right, first, No I wasn't being tricky (not intentionally) I only had the current run in my mind. The use of the plates in the early 70's was to "convince" the teams to go to the small block engines and was short lived. I probably should have been more clear... It's DJ's turn

Which NASCAR driver had the longest duration career time-wise. Not necessarily the most starts, but the widest range of dates from his first start until his final start?

[muggle not]

Totally wild quess.....Harry Gant?

[slorydn1]

An ever more wild guess: James Hylton?

[djarumdudley]

Joe Ruttman, first start in 63, last in 2004?

Good guess, and if he would start a cup race, he could break it, but as it is he has not run in Cup since 1993, although he did run a Nationwide race in 2011. For the record, I meant in Cup. His first start was in 1963.

by my measure, he is second on the list with a 41 year span.
