Rex White

NASCAR Winston Cup Career: 1956-64

The 1960 NASCAR Winston Cup champion, White won six of his 28 career victories that year. White finished in the top-10 in the point standings six of the nine years he competed on NASCAR's elite circuit. White's championship hopes in 1960 seemed dashed until his chief rival, Richard Petty, and five other drivers were disqualified for making improper entrances to pit road in the inaugural World 600 at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway. In 1974, White was inducted into the National Motorsports Press Association's Hall of Fame at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway.
