Okay, okay, before this gets carried away worse than it is, don't tickle...nah, I won't go any further. :eek:

Dick Trickle...In 1989 Trickle made his debut driving the #84 Miller High Life Buick for Stavola Brothers Racing. He was rookie of the year in NASCAR's Winston Cup (now the NEXTEL Cup) at age 48. His best career Winston Cup finish was third (5 times). He started 297 races, with 14 Top 5 and 32 Top 10 finishes.
In 1990, he won the Winston Open (now the NEXTEL Open) in the #66 TropArtic Pontiac. It was a non-points All-Star event for drivers who didn't win in the previous year. He beat Rob Moroso by 8 inches, which is the smallest margin of victory at the event. He also won his only career Cup pole at Dover Downs International Speedway. In the middle of the 1991 season he went to drive the #24 Team III Racing Pontiac. He best finish was 6th at Dover International Speedway. In 1992 he teamed up once again with the Stavola Brothers, driving the #8 Snickers Ford. In 1993 he drove the #75 Carolina Pottery Ford.
Part of his popularity stemmed from his unusual and innuendo-laden name. ESPN's Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann often made it a point to mention where he finished whenever NASCAR highlights were featured on Sportscenter. He was also infamous for having drilled a hole in his safety helmet so that he could smoke while racing, and for installing cigarette lighters in his race cars. [1] Trickle was allowed by NASCAR to smoke in the race car during yellow flag periods, and in the 1990 Winston 500, Trickle was seen on live television by the in-car camera lighting up and smoking a cigarette.
Dick also raced in the Busch Series, where he won two races. He had 158 career starts, with 24 Top 5 and 42 Top 10 finishes. He made his Busch Series debut in 1984.

I cede to Kellogg, the other watcher. :)

You're a great bubby. :rolleyes: :D

Who won the 1991 Winston All-Star race?
 
Ok, guess it is my turn. If not, smack my behind.

What famous road racing Champion won 1 of only 6 Nascar races that he entered.

Hint, he also won 3 of 4 IROC races against some pretty good competition like B. Unser, A.J. Foyt, R. Petty, D. Pearson, B. Allison, E. Fittipaldi, etc.

What state has the most Cup Drivers and who are they?

This could be a trick question because so many of the drivers are said to be from where they don't live. So you need to preface the question a bit better me thinks. Most people will say that Terry Labonte is from Texas, but he now lives in North Carolina and has for a long time...probably longer than he lived in Texas. Jeff Gordon, is he from California, Indiana or Florida? You could be correct in all three of those answers.
 
Jeff Gordon is only listed as Indiana by all the tracks. By the Way Brooke lives in Flordia, not Jeff
 
Well you do know that Jeff doesn't live in Indiana now, don't you? :) Yes, I know where Brooke lives. Anyway, you can do with this question as you wish. I just thought you might want to clearify it a bit.

:beerbang: Of course I know Jeff don't live in Indiania now:beerbang:

Does anyone want to guess or do I need to ask another question? Maybe it isn't clear enough. I was going for the State the tracks say where the driver is from.
 
Hint: these are the drivers what is the state?

AJ Allmendinger
Boris Said
Casey Mears
David Gilliland
Jimmy Johnson
Kevin Harvick
Robbie Gordon
 
He is a former Nascar Champion that has never won a race at Martinsville in 53 races. Name the driver.
 
Bill Elliott never won at that track. Only one short track win in all his wins and that was at Bristol. If I'm the first correct, I cede to the first to respond since I may not be online for another few days.

Close, but no cigar. Bill did not win at Martinsville but only ran in 42 races there.
 
Terry Labonte.

He won a pole there but never won in 53 starts.
 
I'll let tkj use my turn. If not then any of you can take it.

I'm more of a answer type of guy.lol
 
Might as well Kelloggs. lol

Ok here is an easy one guys and gals..

What city and state is Denny Hamlin from?
 
Henry Ford @ Detroit Racing Field, October 1901. Alexander Wilton came in second. It was tho a nonNascar sanctioned event so I don't know if that's the answer you're looking for...

As to Nascar sanctioned events, well I need a hint.
Did the driver have to have his leg fitted into a steel stirrup on the clutch due to a WWII injury when his B24 was shot down?
