25. LeeRoy Yarbrough
The winner of the 1969 Daytona 500, Yarbrough (no relation to Cale) won 14 races in 198 starts and finished in the top 10 in over 46% of his starts. Regardless of the resume that Yarbrough has, the fact that he was placed in a mental institute for trying to kill his mother; not exactly an attribute that any Hall of Fame would want.
