Ed Samples Ed Samples (January 31, 1921 – June 10, 1991) was a pioneering American stock car driver, who competed in NSCRA and NASCAR events in the 1940s and early 1950s. He was the winner of the 1946 stock car racing championship, and later won the 1949 National Stock Car Racing Association championship. ==Early life== Born January 31, 1921 in Atlanta, Georgia, and driving from the early age of eight,〔Jones and White 2007, p. 19〕 Samples became one of the better-known moonshine runners in the Dawsonville area, a hotbed of the production of moonshine liquor during and after Prohibition. He survived being shot three times in a dispute over the production of the liquor shortly before World War II; soon afterwards he changed his career to competition on the racetrack after observing the racing prowess of fellow moonshiner Lloyd Seay, declaring auto racing to be "safer than moonshine".〔Thompson 2006, p. 198〕 He raced motorcycles a few times before switching fully to stock cars.〔
