Damn, you're good! That didn't take long, unless you cheated.
That was too easy!
Hell, some of us can name every driver who ever raced for HMS, including the part-time guys with only a handful of starts. "Some of us" wink wink

At this week's race at Dover, the Drydene 400, the #32 car driven by Corey LaJoie is sponsored by Drydene Performance Products.
If Lajoie manages to win the race it will, of course, be considered quite an upset.
What was the last race to be won by a car whose primary sponsor was the same as the sponsor of the race ?
Extra credit: who drove the car and who was the sponsor ?

Close but no cigar.
And I don't know what race you're referring to but feel free to put that stuff back in your medicine cabinet.

since there has been no response from SB22 I will post an easy question.
Who was the oldest driver to win rookie of the year and how old was he.

Robert Pressley? 1995? Not sure how old he was. It may have been Craven that year anyway

OK, here's one that combines two of my racing interests. Name two future Indy 500 winning drivers and one future 500 winning car owner who drove in the Daytona 500 BEFORE their first start at Indy.

Not a bad guess, but Rathman drove at Indy before there even was a Daytona 500. A little side trivia, the Rathman brothers swapped identities when they were younger so that the younger Jim could race. (Age requirement). Dick was born James, and brother Jim, Indy 500 winner, was born Richard.

Congrats, you just got two out of three. Gurney ran the 1962 Daytona 500 in February driving a Ford for Holman-Moody. Despite several strong runs, Gurney failed to win the Indy 500 as a driver, but was the winning car owner in 1975 with driver Bobby Unser, and his Eagle chassis were among the very strongest cars in the early 70's.
Parnelli Jones' first NASCAR start goes back to 1956, but he made his Daytona 500 debut in 1960 driving a Ford for long time backer Vel Miletich and made his first Indy 500 start in 1961 driving a Watson Offy for JC Agajanian.
The final driver is from the same era and after a slow start to his career, became an Indy legend.
