14. Ernie Irvan


Derisively called “Swervin’ Irvan” by his competitors; Irvan actually lost out on his best year when he had a crash in practice at Michigan in 1994.  Given a 10% chance of survival, he not only survived, but returned to race in parts of four more seasons.  He finished with 15 wins in 313 starts, including the 1991 Daytona 500.
