record four International Race of Champions (IROC) titles to his credit and is

the winningest driver in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, with 48 wins. He also

helped build a quarter-midget track in New Smyrna, Florida to help up-and-

coming drivers.

He lives in Florida with his wife, Arlene, and son, Matt.
