The 59-year-old from Lakeland, Florida, won the 1992 championship and was twice named Busch Series Favorite Driver at the time. He has made more than 1,200 NASCAR appearances in his three National Series from 1989 to his 2020, including four Cup wins and 16 Xfinity Series wins. He has won a total of 28 pole positions.
