WC family ties

[97forever]

A recent post regarding family ties in Nascar's top divisions{WC&BGN} got me thinking of all the Fathers/sons and brother connections in Nascar.

Here is a less than complete list from the past to the present.

Petty:Richard,Maurice,Kyle,Lee,Adam

Pearsonavid,Larry

Allison:Bobby,Donnie,Davey,Cliff

Yarborough:Leeroy,Cale

Earnhardt:Ralph,Dale,Kerry,Jr.

Waltriparrell,Mikey

Jarrett:Ned,Glenn,Dale,Jason

Baker:Buck,Buddy

Parsons:Benny,Phil

Bouchard:Ron,Ken

Bonnett:Neil,David

Bodine:Geoff,Brett,Todd,Barry

Wallace:Rusty,Kenny,Mike

Burton:Jeff,Ward

Labonte:Terry,Bobby,Justin

Hmeil:Steve,Shane

Marlin:Sterling,Coo Coo,Steadman

Hamilton:Bobby,Bobby Jr.

Elliott:Bill,Ernie,Dan

Flock:Tim,Fonty,and........?[damn]

Sadler:Elliott,Hermie

Bown:Chuck,?

Busch:Kurt,Kyle

Foyt:A.J,Larry

Andretti:Mario,John

Just an interesting look at some of the ties in Nascar.I went by memory here and I know I left out some real obvious ones and probably some more obscure ones as well.Just goes to show that Nascar is pretty family 'connected'.Which is neither good nor bad,IMO.

If you folks think of any let me know and we will add 'em.

Don't forget Dale Inman - Richard Petty's cousin

Jason Rudd is in ARCA, right? Thought I saw something on him the other day on Speed....

Your right Fergy.Jason has been refered to as one of the hottest young drivers in America.

Also Hut Stricklin is Donnie Allisons son-in-law---should have mentioned him.

Yarborough:Leeroy,Cale

Cale and Lee Roy have no relation. They don't even have the same last name. It's Cale Yarborough, and Lee Roy Yarbrough. Notice the "o" that is absent from Lee Roy's last name, they're different. I confirmed the spellings in the NASCAR 2003 Press Guide. Thought I'd clear that up.
