Cale Yarborough
Race Car Driver
NASCAR legend's 83 Winston Cup wins ranked in the top five upon his retirement.
He tried to joined NASCAR's Southern 500 before he even turned 18 - but his true age was discovered and he was disqualified.
At the height of his career in the late 70s, he earned three straight Winston Cup championships.
His father was a tobacco farmer and store owner.
It was only after joining up with Junior Johnson that he became a great driver.
