Jim Vandiver

Jim Vandiver (December 13, 1939June 18, 2015) was a NASCAR Winston Cup Series driver that raced from 1968 to 1983. As an independent driver, he had limited financial resources but enjoyed a level of success that relatively few independent drivers had during the formative years of NASCAR.
==Career==
He has competed in 85 races with five finishes in the top-five, 24 top-ten finishes, 117 laps led out of 16529, and a total mileage count of 24247.8 miles.〔〔 In his entire career, Vandiver managed to earn $167,703 in total winnings earned on the track ($ when adjusted for inflation).〔〔
At the 1972 Daytona 500, Vandiver finished third to winner A. J. Foyt. Vandiver is also the only undefeated ARCA driver at Talladega Superspeedway with victories in 1970 and 1975.〔〔
Most of Vandiver's earlier racers were done in Dodge vehicles. In his later career, Vandiver drove Oldsmobile and Chevrolet racecars. Vandiver currently operates Choice Trucks (www.ChoiceTrucks.net) a used truck dealership in Huntersville, North Carolina.〔
He was involved in the controversial 1969 Talladega 500; where he would come in second place to Richard Brickhouse in a questionable finish. To the best of his ability, Vandiver remembers Brickhouse being lapped because he stopped to pit under the green flag. Even after three hours of arguing the decision, Brickhouse was still made the winner of the event. Another controversial finish came at the 1973 Southern 500 in Darlington, South Carolina. Vandiver was due to get arrested for not showing up to divorce court for a child custody hearing. He had to figure out a way to avoid going to jail after the race. So he got someone to hit his vehicle on the chain-linked fence to eliminate himself from the race. After doing this, Vandiver had to hitchhike a ride to Monroe, North Carolina in order to get home and have a cold glass of beer without the authorities seizing him on the track in front of the spectators.
