Dick Rathmann

Dick Rathman, brother of 1960 Indy 500 winner Jim Rathman, won 13 times in Nascar, but unfortunately never finished higher than 3rd in an Indy/Champcar event. Keep trying.

Johnny Mantz, inauguaral Southern 500 winner?

DJ's got it! :up: Johnny Mantz won at the Milwaukee Mile in 1948 (It was still dirt then) and had raced at Indy in 1948 and 1949. He was the slowest qualifier for the first Southern 500 starting 43rd in a car partially owned by Bill France. He knew tire wear would be a problem on an asphalt track so he mounted different tires than any of his competitors (I've read where it was truck tires or possibly even Indy type tire) He had less problems than the others, and ran away with the race.

I guess either you or Hoss can go next since both of you got half of the question.

Mantz used truck tires and never changed tires during the whole race.

In Cup yes, I know. 2 of which were great, knocking Gordon out of the way for his first, and schooling/snookering Harvick at Sears Point.

I was refering to his wins in CART.

harvick#1

17th June 2007, 13:26

he didn't snooker Harvick, they were goin back to the caution and passed him breaking anything that was left of the gentlemans agreement, but Robby still would've passed Harvick that day even if under green

Let me clarify, I mean how many years have gone by between there being back-to-back champions(Drivers). In other words...whoever is the next to go back-to-back will bookend with Jeff Gordon as the two most recent drivers to do so, setting a record. What is the current longest streak. Name the drivers.

muggle not

23rd September 2007, 14:32

5 years ....Buck Baker to Joe Weatherly

5 years ....Joe Weatherly to David Pearson.

These have been the longest gaps between drivers that have won back-to-back Championships............except of course the present gap when the last time was when Jeff Gordon won back to backs with the last of the B to B in 1998.

On previous question:

There have been 15 rookie-of-the-year award winners who have never won atop division race, or 17 if you include Ken Rush and Blackie Pitt who were unofficial rookies of the year before NASCAR started the official award in 1958.
They were:
Kenny Irwin
Mike Skinner
Jimmy Hensley
ROb Moroso

Ronnie Thomas
Skip Manning
Bruce Hill
Larry Smith
Walter Ballard
Bill Dennis
Doug Cooper

Alexamateo

27th September 2007, 19:43

I'll stay with the same theme, but with a twist.

Juan Pablo Montoya will probably be this year's rookie of the year, but if he had come up in the 60's, he would not have been eligible because of his previous CART championship.

Using that knowledge, Name the driver who won the most races in his "rookie" year.

muggle not

27th September 2007, 20:43

Tony Stewart with 3 wins.

Alexamateo

27th September 2007, 21:08

Muggle, that is correct for official rookies, but look at my question again. The driver I am looking for was not an official rookie although he had only started 4 Nascar races prior to his first full season.

djarumdudley

4th October 2007, 04:55

Alexamateo

4th October 2007, 05:20

Dick Hutcherson in 1965 with 9 victories and a second place points finish. but according to Nascar's rules at that time he was ineligible due to being the previous season's IMCA champion. champions from rival series were deemed ineligible for ROTY in those days.

Correct! :bounce: That's exactly it, back then you truly had to be an unknown rookie to win rookie of the year.

You're up! :) :up:

Jimmey Hensley, 1992 ROTY.

not quite, dig a bit further.

Hensley is actually credited with the pole for the September 1989 race at Martinsville. He qualified Dale Earnhardt's car after Earnhardt was unable to arrive at the track in time for qualifying. Though he didn't start the race he still received the credit. Hensley even ran in the following year's Busch Clash

tstran is correct, JJ was the last to do it.

I probably should have said "races" instead of "events" though, becasue the last person to actually win 4 straight "events" at a track(meaning the same race) was Gordon's 4 straight Southern 500's in the 90's. That is an impressive win streak at a tough track.

Wow! I was just looking for a number. But from one DJ fan to another (assuming you are a DJ fan?)...you are short a few! :D

yeah pretty sure i missed several. think i got most of his full time owners in there. i was a huge fan of Jarrett's in the 90s, especially during his emerging years with the Woods and Gibbs. my fandom fell off when my all time fave Ricky Rudd arrived at Yates in 2000. there was little though in my mind who i felt should have been number one there!

tstran17_88

25th March 2008, 17:32

It doesn't look like anyone is going to get all the answers, so I'll post them to get the game rolling again. Dale Jarrett drove for 12 owners in Cup.

1984 Emanuel Zervakis & Jimmy Means
1986 Mike Curb
1987 Eric Freedlander
1988 Hoss Ellington, Cale Yarborugh (in 1989 also), Ralph Ball & Buddy Arrington

1990-91 Wood Brothers
