Mercury. His 83
wins places him at number six on the all-time NASCAR winner's list
(behind
Bobby Allison and
Darrell Waltrip,
who are tied for fourth with 84).
The epitome of a racer's racer, Cale Yarborough captured three consecutive NASCAR Premier Series titles. Between 1976 and 1978, Yarborough dominated the sport's elite level. He won 28 races - nine in 1976, nine in '77 and 10 in '78. His final championship points margin in those three years was never fewer than 195 points and was as much as 474 in 1978.

University of Racing Legends
is excited to announce the newest addition to our lineup of Hall of Fame
drivers, the #26 Junior Johnson Holly Farms Ford Galaxie. This fantastic
replica will hit the stores in July, 2011. Exact in every detail and
inspected by Junior Johnson himself, the diecast will make a terrific
addition to your collection.
David Pearson, who is without a doubt one of the five best drivers in the history of stock car racing, is the 2nd in the University of Racing Legends series. David is number two on the all time win list, has the second most pole position starts and has the third highest winning percentage in the history of the sport. David won 105 times and has three championships, the last coming in this car. The 1st diecast in the Legends series (Bobby Allison) was a sell out and is now very hard to find.
The autographed version will have David's signature on the black hood. Includes Certificate of Authenticity.
As with all University of
Racing diecast collectibles, there is more to the car then just diecast,
there is a great story behind each car as unique as the drivers that
made them so popular.

DONNIE ALLISON
PAGE
Donnie is possibly most remembered for his involvement in a final-lap crash and subsequent fight with Cale Yarborough at the 1979 Daytona 500.
Allison managed to get ten wins in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition with his first coming at the 1968 Carolina 500 at Rockingham Speedway and his final at the 1978 Dixie 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Allison would suffer serious injuries at the 1981 Coca Cola 600, this would end his career in NASCAR for the most part. Allison would only race fourteen more Winston Cup races (he would also fail to qualify four times for races during this time) from 1982 to 1988. Allison would also win the 1967 NASCAR Grand National Rookie of the Year.

AJ FOYT
PAGE
Foyt only needed 10 races to get his first NASCAR victory. Richard Petty dominated the 1964 Firecracker 400 until he went out with engine problems. Foyt swapped the lead with Bobby Isaac for the final 50 laps of the summer event at the Daytona International Speedway. Foyt passed Isaac on the final lap to win the race.
Foyt ran out of gas near the end of the 1971 Daytona 500, and Petty passed him for the win. Foyt again had the car to beat in the 1972 Daytona 500, but this time succeeded in a dominating performance. Only three drivers led during the race.
Foyt won the 1971 and 1972 races at the Ontario Motor Speedway for Wood Brothers Racing. The 1972 race was his last NASCAR win.
Cale Yarborough
His 83 wins places him at number
six on the all-time NASCAR winner's list (behind
Bobby Allison and
Darrell Waltrip, who are
tied for fourth with 84). His 14.82% winning percentage is
the ninth best all-time and third among those with 500 or
more starts. Yarborough won the
Daytona 500 four times; his
first win coming in 1968 for the
Wood Brothers, the second
in 1977 for
Junior Johnson, and
back-to-back wins in 1983 and 1984. In 1984, he became the
first driver to qualify for the
Daytona 500 with a top
speed of more than 200 miles per hour. Yarborough is a three
time National Motorsports Press Association Driver of the
Year (1977, 1978, 1979).
He made his first attempt in the Southern 500 as a teenager
by lying about his age, but he was caught and disqualified
by NASCAR. In
1957, Yarborough made his
debut as a driver at the Southern 500, driving the #30
Pontiac for Bob Weatherly,
starting 44th and finishing 42nd after suffering hub
problems. He ran for Weatherly two years later, and finished
27th. In
1960, Yarborough ran one
race, and had his first career top-fifteen, a
fourteenth-place finish at Southern States Fairgrounds. He
again ran one race in 1961, finishing 30th in the Southern
500 driving for
Julian Buesink. In
1962, Yarborough ran eight
races for Buesink, Don Harrison, and Wildcat Williams. He
earned his first top-ten at the
Daytona 500 Qualifying Race,
when he finished tenth.
