35. Tiny Lund
Nov 30, -0001
Published in
NASCAR
Ironically named, since he stood 6’ 5” tall, DeWayne “Tiny” Lund is a member of NASCAR’s 50 Greatest Drivers, won three Grand American Division Championships. His most legendary feat, however, is probably going to the 1963 Daytona 500 without a ride, saving Marvin Panch’s life when he crashed in qualifying, taking Panch’s ride into the race and then winning the Daytona 500. Unfortunately, he lost his life in a crash at Talladega in 1975.

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.
