Just ruined my day. One of THE BEST drivers ever.

Pretty sure the Cotton Owens Dodge in the picture was not the first car to have broken the 200 mph lap barrier, it was a Daytona and Baker drove it, but it was a blue #88 Daytona I believe out of Ray Nichels stable.

Buddy Baker was one of the best drivers in what most fans consider to be the best era of Nascar. He was one of my favorites. RIP Buddy.

Well it's an old ad, I doubt they were shooting for 100% accuracy.. regardless, the point of the post was the loss of Buddy Baker. Bummer to hear
