NASCAR driver spent 15 years in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Cup series, finishing more than 30 races in the Top Ten.
Before Fame

Trivia

Family Life
He was born in Monticello, Georgia, joining the stock car circuit at the suggestion of his father, who thought that would be safer than Buckshot's other choice, motocross.
Associated With
He had a longstanding feud with fellow racer Randy LaJoie.
