The only suspended player on this list, Jeremy Mayfield was on the track for a potential NASCAR Hall of Fame induction. With a series of wins, and top ten finishes, Mayfield had at least the fringe possibility of Charlotte, but a substance abuse suspension rendered him ineligible for competition. Hell, he is probably not even eligible for this list!

Ken Schrader had a decent run in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s where he won the NASCAR Rookie of the Year in 1985. Schrader would also have a decent run in other Motorsports series and though was never considered elite, was also regarded as very good.
