30. Dan Gurney
It is a bit tough to put Dan Gurney in the NASCAR Hall because he only raced in NASCAR sixteen times, but he won five of those starts. He is also the first driver to win races in Sports Cars, NASCAR, Formula 1, and Indy Car. Gurney also supposedly invented the champagne spray celebration after combining with A.J. Foyt to win the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans, which has nothing to do with NASCAR, but is one of the best celebrations ever.
