A golfer named Tiger Woods ended a lengthy drought April 14, winning the 2019 Masters tournament at Augusta National Golf Club -- his first win at the fabled course since 2005, and his first golfing "major" since 2008. It was a comeback for the ages. Several NASCAR drivers have won after notable droughts, including Hall of Famers Bill Elliott, Rusty Wallace and Terry Labonte -- along with a fellow named Dale Earnhardt Jr. Here's a look at the longest droughts between wins for a driver in the Monster Energy Series.
