Mark Martin, 1981
Some might not recall that Martin wore a cookie duster early in his career, but photos never forget.3 of 15
Tim Richmond, 1983
No driver's lip rug perfectly encapsulates 1983 better than Tim Richmond's. Nobody.4 of 15
Davey Allison, Early 1990s
Allison's mustache is delightful -- it's so endearing and just makes him look like a nice guy, right?5 of 15
Jeff Gordon, 1992
Not only does Jeff Gordon's racing resume belong in the Hall of Fame, but so does his upper lipholstery, which he broke into the sport with in the early 1990s.6 of 15
Dale Jarrett, Late 1990s
The 'stache, the mullet, the championship. Dale Jarrett had it all in the late '90s.7 of 15
Terry Labonte, 1998
Fun fact: the white-ish streaks in Labonte's mustache aren't hairs -- they're tiny little icicles.8 of 15
Dale Earnhardt, Always
The gold standard for facial fur. His No. 3 intimidated every car on track, his mustache intimidated every driver off it.9 of 15
Marcos Ambrose, 2013
Hey, remember this guy? This guy had a pretty cool beard a few years ago. (Moustache attached, of course.)10 of 15
Brendan Gaughan, 2014
RIP the Gaughanstache. It needs to come back.11 of 15
Kyle Larson, 2014
Ha. Just kidding.12 of 15
Richard Petty, 2016
Perhaps the most important piece of the ensemble necessary to be 'The King,' it's weird to think he hasn't always had it.13 of 15
Paul Menard, 2016
Menard has sported a beard off and on the past few years. He should keep it, because it's great and speaks volumes. And something has to, you know?14 of 15
Dale Earnhardt Jr., 2016
We've seen a few different styles from Junior over the years, but he seems to have settled on a well-maintained full beard. Thumbs up from us.15 of 15
