19) Buck Baker
Baker is another racer who found his way into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Baker was the first driver ever to win back-to-back season championships in the Cup Series. Having won those crowns in 1956 and 1957, he cemented his legacy as one of the most dominant drivers in the early years of the sport.

18) Tim Flock
Flock is pictured on the left, just below. He was a constant rival of Buck Baker’s and was a NASCAR titan in the 50’s. Having racked up 39 Cup Series Victories in 187 starts, this means that he won more than 20% of his races at NASCAR’s highest level. Despite winning the Cup Series championship in 1952 and 1955, his career ended controversially six years later. Flock found himself disqualified from a race and banned from NASCAR for a minor rules violation. It was rumored that the harsh punishment was really due to his support of a NASCAR driver’s union.
