Very nice choice. I met him once, he was kind of a jerk. This was at an appearance he did for a national auto parts chain's new local store. I loved his game when he played for the Cavaliers, which he did at the time of my meeting him.

Nelson Stacy
 
Chuck Warren

Owner-Mechanic

He was considered a NASCAR pioneer. Warren got his start in auto racing working as a crew member for a local Ashtabula, Ohio short track racer in the late 1940s.

You're doing this out of memory? I did remember the first name Zave because it's so unusual, but I had to look him up.

Yeah, for the most part. I have searched for a couple of entries and I will look to make sure I have the right spelling but other than that, it's from memory. Not that it matters one way or the other, actually...

Anthony Wayne Stewart

Driver of the Number 14
(I had to look up his middle name ;))
 
Steve Kinser "King of the Outlaws"

20 World of Outlaws Championships

Also won the NASCAR IROC race at 'dega in 1994.
 
Ivan Stewart, aka The Ironman, one of my top-five all time racing heroes. He raced off-road, a subject not talked about here much. Some of his stats:

In 1973, Ivan was scheduled to co-drive in the Ensenada 300 in a Class 1-2 buggy. His co-driver broke his leg, so Stewart drove the car, and won the race. After some wins under his belt, he joined Toyota factory team in 1983 for Cal Wells at Precision Preparation Inc. He won a total of 82 victories. He has won a record 17 races in Mickey Thompson Entertainment Group's (MTEG) stadium series, a record 17 Baja 500's, three Baja 1000's, and SCORE International events. He has won ten point championships, including four SCORE World championships and three MTEG championships. He is the only person so far to win overall including motorcycles while driving a four wheel vehicle solo in the Baja 1000.
 
Jackie Stewart

I've been saving that one for a long time waiting for a "J" to be open

He will forever be the race announcer who taught me that I was seriously mispronouncing the word "aluminum"
