Ned Jarrett

A two-time NASCAR champion, he has been inducted into 12 Hall of Fames

Ned Jarrett, born on October 12, 1932, is a revered figure in the world of American motorsports, particularly known for his success in NASCAR. Over the course of his career, Jarrett earned the nickname "Gentleman Ned" due to his calm and composed demeanor both on and off the track. His driving style was marked by consistency and precision, which helped him secure two NASCAR Grand National Series championships in 1961 and 1965. Jarrett's ability to maintain control under pressure made him a fan favorite and a respected competitor among his peers.

Jarrett's career in NASCAR was defined by his strategic approach to racing. He was not always the fastest driver on the track, but his intelligence and ability to manage his car's performance over long races set him apart. One of his most memorable victories came in the 1965 Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, where he won by an astonishing 14-lap margin, a record that still stands today. This victory was a testament to his skill and understanding of the sport, further solidifying his legacy as one of NASCAR's greats.

After retiring from racing in 1966, Jarrett transitioned into a successful career as a broadcaster, where he continued to contribute to the sport he loved. His calm and insightful commentary made him a popular figure in the booth, and he became a trusted voice for NASCAR fans across the country. Jarrett's ability to explain the intricacies of racing in a way that was accessible to both casual viewers and die-hard fans helped grow the sport's popularity during his time as a broadcaster.

Ned Jarrett's influence on NASCAR extends beyond his own career, as he is also the father of former drivers Glenn Jarrett and Dale Jarrett, the latter of whom won the 1999 NASCAR Cup Series championship. The Jarrett family has become synonymous with success in NASCAR, and Ned's contributions to the sport, both as a driver and a broadcaster, have left an indelible mark on its history. His legacy as a champion and a gentleman continues to inspire future generations of drivers.
