42. Billy Wade
A potential up and coming superstar when he died in a tire trial at Daytona in 1965, Billy Wade won four straight races, the only four wins of his career, in route to a 4th place finish in the Winston Cup in 1964. His inclusion as an alternate is more about his potential than what he was actually able to achieve in his very brief career.
