One of the great winners in NASCAR history and rival to Richard Petty, their battles at Daytona, while I only know them from highlights, were the stuff of legend.

Probably the highest average finish in NASCAR history. Nobody was more consistent and more dominant. He won 105 races in a somewhat truncated career, where he won three championships despite never actually completing a full NASCAR season. If it wasn't for the bad back that plagued his career, he could easily have split up a larger portion of Petty's 200.

 

One of only 5 stock car drivers worthy of being argued as GOAT. This is an incalculable loss for motorsports everywhere.
