- In NASCAR’s 75 year history there have been many drivers come and go. Of the thousands of drivers to compete at NASCAR’s highest level, only 204 of them have ever visited victory lane. Of those 204 winners, 198 of them were born in the united states.
In this video we look to see how each state stacks up based on where those winners were born. We look at total wins, unique winners, Championships, Unique Champions, and Hall of Famers.
This video pairs nicely with the ever non american to win video on the channel. It is linked below, check it out after this one.
This was a lot of research, but man are the results worth it. Thanks a ton for all the support to keep the train rolling.

Mark Martin is the second to win from his state? Oh my still not first at something
I didn’t even think about this 😭😭😭
Oof 😂
Bahahah
Man I’m so sorry for him!
He’s better than a lot of winners, just had some shit luck when it came to winning.
He’s one of my absolute all time favorites!
Mark was the first driver to win three straight at Watkins Glen, the first to win a Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and the first to win any single annual event at Indy three times in a row
he didnt grab any cup wins, but Baltimore, Maryland's Johnny Roberts had the NASCAR National Modified title for a couple years. his most notable Cup start is on the beach at Daytona, running alongside Ralph Earnhardt and Lee Petty
That’s great, thanks for the awesome mention!
Even though he's only 17, I believe William Sawalich should be Minnesota's first full time driver in Nascar if Toyota sees their plan through with Sawalich soon, but of course things could change.
I didn’t even think about Sawalich, he could very well be the one to get Minnesota their first win
Here in Britain nascar always seemed like a uniquely Deep South sport, so it always surprises me just how many drivers/winners/champs come from California
Great video man
Appreciate that! That was kind of the reason I did it, I wanted to see if that stigma is true haha
But how some of the best come from my dear home NC😎
Sammy Smith is from Johnston, Iowa and could break the winless drought for Iowa if he moves up to the cup series with a decent ride in place.
Correction: Of the 15 winless states, New Hampshire AND Delaware are the only ones with active tracks (Loudon and Dover respectively).
Yeah I can’t believe I messed that up, Dover is my favorite track too 😭
@@DoglegMediaMatt Can't offend Miles the monster
William Sawalich certainly gonna put homestate (Minnesota) on the map in the coming years
That is a very good shot for the lake state to get a win! Thanks for the info!
South Carolina actually has 6 hall of famers with Bud Moore being the one you left out
I primarily focused on drivers but this is an excellent point!
Was hoping to be pleasantly surprised on Oklahoma, but I knew Bell is the only notable NASCAR driver from Oklahoma. I was hoping there was one obscure winner from the 50’s. Aw well. Like you said. Bell is young, and our state is in great hands
Yeah I think yall are in a great position for awhile at least!
Immediately after Oklahoma was a error as stats said Oregon has 0 wins among 5 different winners
Also @DoglegMediaMatt on the topic of Oregon you missed the fact Hershel is the oldest driver to compete in nascar at a mind breaking 90 years old
As a North Carolinian, I'm proud that my state is home to legends like Petty, Earnhardt, Junior, Ned and Dale Jarrett, and others. The Tar Heel State remains supreme!
And ur state has best basketball player ever mj
@@rcguy902 Yep, the legendary Michael Jordan. I don't care what people say, LeBron James is no where near his greatness.
@@JustGenius2001 le-flop is not even close
@@rcguy902 Agreed. I wish people would stop looking at Le-flop like he's the god of basketball because he sure as hell ain't.
Absolutely it makes me so proud to be a Tarheel
I cannot believe my beautiful home state of Louisiana has NEVER had a win nor a fulltime driver EVER.
Born and raised near Chemung NY where the Bodines are from. Geoff and his bros lived in Elmira for a while. Their dad and grandpa built Chemung Speedrome. The family doesnt own the track anymore but its still open. I met Todd and Geoff, Todd at his last truck race at Pocono (should have been WGI), and Geoff last month at Martinsville. :D Now I only need to meet Brett.
Reagan is from the Syracuse area, not far from Chemung. :D
PA had a driver that was working up his way up the ranks. Blaise Alexander JR. He was best friends with Jimmie Johnson. Blaise died in a deadly crash in Oct after Sr. The other driver involved in the wreck was Kerry Earnhardt. :O I believe Kerry did a Sr move and caused the wreck. JJ put a memorial decal on the front left corner of his car. And dedicated his first win to Blaise.
This is awesome!
I'm from California Myself But, I Do Currently Live in Nevada. But, My Favorite Moment from a California NASCAR Driver is, When My Number One Favorite NASCAR Driver of All-Time of AJ Allmendinger Pulling off his First Historical Win in The NASCAR Cup Series At Watkins Glen for The Running of The 2014 Cheez-It's 355 At The Glen On Sunday August 10th of 2014 and that was a intense battle between Two of My Favorite NASCAR Drivers of Both AJ Allmendinger and Marcos Ambrose! And that's My Number One Favorite NASCAR Race of All-Time and My Number One Favorite Winning Moment from a California NASCAR Driver in my opinion! And I even did a Assignment during My Junior Year of High School in The 2015-2016 School Year of a Sports History Assignment on AJ Allmendinger's First Win at Watkins Glen and that Assignment was great hands down! But, Still Matt Great Video and This Comment is done!🙂😎😎
Aye I loved that 2014 Glen race! Great comment and thanks for watching! 😎🔥
Timmy Hill gonna get Maryland to victory lane one day
I’d love to see it!
Taylor and Tanner Gray are from New Mexico, and considering Taylor has been really solid in his Xfinity starts this year I could see him finally bringing New Mexico a Cup win in a few years.
Though with Wisconsin I want to add in my opinion if Alan Kulwicki didn’t die so early in his career I feel like he would have had way more wins and championships than Kenseth.
Alan is certainly a major what if in NASCAR history. Imagine getting to see him and Davey continue on
Also...I feel like there should be an honorable mention for the White Knight...the winningest short track driver EVER...Mr Dick Trickle.
I doubt it he was already 38 and he would need to average 5 wins over 7 years to tie Kenseth.
@@11d7jake might have happened he was aggressive enough and probably a season or two away from a true multi win season I feel like
Wisconsin does have some talented current drivers, between Sam Mayer, Derek Kraus, Ty Majeski, and Josh Bilicki, but I could only really see Mayer winning a cup race out of those 4 because of how young he is, although we also have Luke Fenhaus, who is a very talented young driver and I could see him being successful in cup, and there are many good young drivers at this point too, one of those being Penn Sauter, Johnny Sauter’s son
Thanks a ton for this list! I definitely see a TON of potential from these guys!
Not being petty but @2:29 you didn't say maryland😂😂😂 glad you did mention it on the list
Yeah I noticed that too haha, always good to have written backup!
One cool add-on for Herschel McGriff: his Cup career went from 1950-93, but he kept racing until he was 90 (2018)...the oldest NASCAR driver ever!
That’s insane!
0:07 wassup grandpa BUFF
Could you do a history of the international drivers in NASCAR?
Check the description of this video! The first link is that exact video! I made it after SVG’s win at Chicago!
Glad to know I’ve got another Kentucky brother out there on TH-cam!!
Absolutely! For the Bluegrass!
I’m glad to have Jeff Gordon, Larson, and Jimmie in my home state
Some heavy hitters for sure!
You should do a breakdown by the state of all drivers similar to the numbers video so it can show every driver.(all drivers who drove car number and won. We were hoping to see every winner from their state. Especially considering how many came from North Carolina, arent actually from there. (Maybe also a quick part of countries with winning drivers).
Thanks for the feedback! The other countries video has already been made, check the about section of the video for the link!
I find it funny that Denny and Ross are both Florida born.
They are best friends 😂
"Florida man" at its absolute peak
Hey y’all I’m seeing a lot of similar comments, so thought I would clear something else up.
Just because I didn’t mention a driver by name doesn’t mean their accomplishments are not counted for the states totals. I will be doing shorts that feature every winner from each state, but doing that in a single long form video would have been brutal 😅
Thanks for the understanding, yall rock! 😎🔥🇺🇸
UPDATE:
I also forgot to add Wendell Scott as a HOF for Virginia. His win was included in the total, but he wasn’t counted as a HOF’er.
When you talk about Connecticut, the first think in my mind is
“Joey Logano Middletown Connecticut”
There’s some up and coming drivers from Colorado that I hope can get to the cup series but they are young. Chris Eggleston would be the best shot currently but he’s a home racer now.
Thanks for the info, I’ll have to check him out!
You forgot Quin Houff for Virginia 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
But seriously very good video
I have sinned 😂
204 drivers in the history of NASCAR have won races, with all but 6 being from the states? Of the 6 internationals, two are from the Oceania zone (Marcos Ambrose and Shane van Gisbergen), and a third is Colombia's Juan Pablo Montoya.
As a nascar fan from Minnesota I wish we had drivers and wins 😭
William Sawalich is a GREAT young prospect from Minnesota, he could be the saving grace for y’all!
I wish him the best 👍😀@@DoglegMediaMatt
Eh, my state won a championship, and I did not know that was a thing until this video.
The Blaney's, Rahal's & Cindrics are the most successful ohio racing families. Among others.
Ohio has many "cool" people Dean Martin, Paul Newman, Tim Richmond & Eddie Rickenbacker, among others.
Another NASCAR Legend from Ohio is Banjo Mathews Best known for having constructed many cars in the 70s & 80s, including 72% of the winning cars in the top NASCAR division from 1974 to 1985 (262 wins in 362 Cup races).
However the stat he was most proud of was that no driver was ever killed driving a Banjo Matthews-built car.
Roger Penske is also from Ohio Penske is one of the greatest racing teams in US history NASCAR & INDYCAR too.
Awesome Video! I loved hearing the different winners Home States.
Thanks a ton! It was a lot of fun to do!
While he didn’t win an honorable mention for Wisconsin would be Dick Trickle
Fantastic video. I can truly understand how much time was done in research for this video. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks a ton! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You forgot Derrike Cope for Washington, he won 2 races, and was from Spanaway.
Cope was born in California, so his numbers were counted for them! Kinda similar situation to Hamlin
@@DoglegMediaMatt ahh i didn’t know that! Also didn’t know Denny was born in Florida or Blaney in Ohio. I know Dave is from Ohio but i thought Ryan was born in North Carolina
@@nascarsteve I thought the exact same thing about Blaney! That was a big surprise
Random video request Pontiac in NASCAR. -Pib
Awesome video again
I like it! Thanks a ton!
fun little video! for WI I am waiting on Beliki to get to cup
Great work
Thanks a ton!
Here I thought Tiny Lund was already in the Hall Of Fame thank you for that info
He would get a vote from me!
I was looking forward to seeing something on each winner from each state. Maybe they’ll do some shorts for each state. ….. can’t believe y’all only talked about the Elliot’s for Georgia.😂🎉
Shorts will be coming!
Kenny Schrader ... Fenton Missouri. 4 wins
You missed one from Washington who won the 1990 Daytona 500 Derrick Cope you're doing a great job on this Bud keep it up have a good one and God bless
His numbers were included but he is a great mention no doubt!
Fun fact both Sadler brothers hermie and Elliot are from Virginia as well
This is gonna be a good one for sure! 😎
You already know 😎
on a serious note, ricky rudd
This is My First Time leaving a comment on one of your videos Dogleg Media But, I enjoyed this video from Start to Finish and learned a lot about The Winners in Different States in NASCAR! But, Mission Complete on a Great Video! But, Great Video and This Comment is done!🙂😎😎
Hey I definitely appreciate that! It means a ton! If you wanna hang out with a ton of NASCAR fans, join the discord, it’s a ton of fun 😎🔥
DAve Dion got second at Martinsville in the 70s from nh.
I think Ricky Stenhouse Jr was born in Memphis, TN. Started to see that info get passed around shortly after he won the Daytona 500
I’m seeing a couple of sources saying the same too. Almost every credible sight shows olive branch, I’ve heard that it’s only because Memphis is the closest hospital to olive branch?
Also if we would count virtual racing accomplishments not limited to NASCAR NC has the unique distinction of producing the United States' only Gran Turismo Hall of Famer and only virtual motorsport 'Grand Slam' winner (Daytona 500, 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indianapolis 500 and Monaco Grand Prix) (me), which is one better than the only driver in history to achieve the triple crown (24hr Le Mans, Indy 500, Monaco Grand Prix) in real life racing (Graham Hill).
Self-aggrandizing, I know, but that's the way it goes sometimes.
The pride of Kansas Clint bowyer
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UNITED STATES OF NASCARRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDD
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
In Georgia, you forgot about Jody Ridley from nearby Chatsworth (one win, Dover), David Ragan, and Gober Sosebee
The good news is his win was included in the stats at least haha
i'm from Connecticut and tbh i only knew of Nutmeg State and Constitution State, with the latter being the more common. the other 2 i never heard of. Also, I think Preece could secure a Cup Series win. He's got a pair of wins in both Xfinity and Truck, coupled on that he's a Whelen Modified Tour champion and an SK Modified at my local track, Stafford Speedway. I say he's got what it takes to get a win
Thanks for answering the question! That is good to know
As a Nascar fan from Connecticut I refuse to accept Joey Logano as a true Nutmegger. Just because you're born somewhere doesn't mean thats where you're from. While I see where the idea from the video comes from I refuse to accept anyone who didn't drive modifieds as not just a racer from Connecticut but not a racer from the Northeast.
@chrisbarrettFilmstudio he actually spent quite a few years in Connecticut. Starting in quarter midgets then Late Models. Later he and his family moved to Georgia so he can further his racing career. But since Logano started racing in Connecticut then he technically is a true Nutmegger as you put it
@@titanironwolf7986 I mean yes he may have raced late models but Connecticut is known for being the home of the SK Modifieds and just modified racing in general. I mean Dick Breggren has more wins at full sized tracks in Connecticut than Joey Logano does. My arguement is that Joey left because he couldn’t follow his path in Connecticut so he left and never came back. Drivers like Jerry Nadeau, Ryan Preece, and Randy Lajoie all made it to the show without having to leave.
Are you only counting Cup HOFers? Richie Evans from Rome NY is in the NASCAR HOF . Just wanted to add his name, great video, thanks
Great addition! Thanks for the kind words as well!
I think preece (Connecticut), Austin hill (georgia), chandler smith (georgia) corey heim (georgia) and it's hard to tell right at this point but Sammy Smith (iowa) all could win in cup when they get there
I think so too!
As a Georgian isn't David regan from Georgia and win twice
@@Huntsman8804 yes, his numbers are included in the total for the state, just not verbally mentioned
I didn't know a driver from upstate New York won the title with one win.
The more you know! It’s a cool story!
For Wisconsin oldest ever ROY Dick Trickle deserves mention🙂🏁Great vid
Thanks a ton! Don’t worry, I will be uploading shorts with every winner from each state!
Interesting fact while this guy only had two nascar starts George Bauer made the 1969 Daytona 500, he was born and raised in Lenoxburg Kentucky right down the road from me while he passed away in 2008 his families shop is still going strong to this day of Bauers Garage down in Germantown Kentucky just an odd fact I figure I put in. I never got to meet him he died when I was 7 I knew his aunt and she lived to be 100 years old and owned a country store that’s called the Lenoxburg store that is still going strong to this day. There’s a TH-cam video out there somewhere of him spinning in the infield grass at Daytona I’ll have to find it somewhere I remember my mom showing me it when I was in middle school and thought it was the coolest thing ever
34:00 WHICH BY THE WAY HAS A POPULATION OF 30,000!!!
I knew nc was 1st in wins and chips but I didn’t expect the gap to be that big 😂 I thought California would be close
Yeah, it isn’t even a competition 😂
Don’t worry guys we still got Keith McGee
Great video. I just wanted to mention that Davey passed in helicopter crash.
Yeah, I call helicopters airplanes haha 😂
Technically not cup drivers, but Jerry Cook and Richie Evans are both Hall of Famers from New York
Great additions!
New Hampshire and Delaware both have active tracks.
Yeah I can’t believe I forgot Dover 😭😅
@@DoglegMediaMatt it's all good I just took it personal because I live 30 minutes from the track 🤣. Thank you for the awsome content!
@@shorebilly16 it’s my favorite track, I am also offended 😂 thanks for the kind words!
its hereeeee
Yes it is!
Hey Matt, drivers from Iowa would be Brett Moffit, Joey Gase, and Sammy Smith. That's just the active drivers right now. Remember that I have a doc about Iowa.
Oh yeah! You would have been an incredible resource for that! Thanks for the info!
Would have been nice to have had my info used, but it's ok. If you ever do a revision of this video, you know where to go for info about Iowa. Lol
Christian rose , and Jason Kitzmiller are from WV
Great mentions!
Delaware has an active track.
I would hope to see Brett Moffitt and Sammy Smith in the Cup Series in competitive rides. Maybe then Iowa can get some more wins.
Love it!
Brett Moffitt!!!!
Brett definitely deserves better rides than he gets.
@@nathanmiddaugh6986 yes. But I kinda hope he stays with AM since Deegan is bringing more Ford support and it would be more stability for Brett. Unless something better just manifests
It's blasphemy to give Denny to Florida! But great job on the video
I know, I know 😅 I had to keep it consistent 😂
@@DoglegMediaMatt this is the first video I've watched of yours, but definitely not the last. I appreciate you sharing this
Didn't know Blaney was from Ohio? His dad was literally called the "Buckeye Bullet"
Skipped over Maryland in the states without a winner. Also Delaware is on the winless list and has an active race track DOVER
Yeah the Dover part is a facepalm moment 😂
Virginia does not want to claim Denny Hamlin anyway.
😂
Every state I’ve lived in has a winner, Kansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia aren’t a surprise at all but colorado was fun and Washington I knew Kasey kahne but I completely forgot about biffle
Glad you learned something and man you moved around a bit! That’s awesome!
@@DoglegMediaMatthappens when you’re an army brat
@@josephharrison5639 well I hope your time in the bluegrass was enjoyable! Thanks for your service as well!
@@DoglegMediaMatt army brat not in the army, my dad was. Yes Kentucky was great best years of first and second grade ever lol
@@josephharrison5639 ohhhhh I misunderstood army brat haha. I too enjoyed 1st and 2nd grade here 😂
@Dogleg Media, I am from New York and when I saw the stats for the state, I thought you were pulling my leg.
I just wish Geoff Bodine was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. He seems like a good candidate, especially his performance level from 1984 to 1990, when he was contending for championships.
Without him, Hendrick Motorsports wouldn't exist and we wouldn't have other Winners, Veterans and Hall of Famers (This includes Geoff Bodine, Ricky Rudd, Terry Labonte, Kyle Busch, Mark Martin, Kasey Kahne, Kyle Larson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Chase Elliott, William Byron, Tim Richmond [R.I.P.], Ken Schrader, Jerry Nadeau, Casey Mears, Brian Vickers, and Alex Bowman).
Bodine's stats are nothing to scoff at either.
In 29 Years and 575 Starts, Bodine has 18 Wins, 100 Top 5s, 190 Top 10s, 37 Poles, Led 8683 of 159192 Laps Run, 159 Lead Lap Finishes, 169 DNFs, 22 DNQs, 3 WDs, An Average Start of 14.1, An Average Finish of 18.6, and A Best Points Finish of 3rd (1990).
I'm also surprised about Regan Smith, he always seems like a Southeast or Midwest native. However, I really wish he had more time in the Cup Series, great mention.
Aye that’s awesome that you learned something about your home state! That was the ultimate goal, and I definitely think Geoff has a case!
@@DoglegMediaMatt Thanks. I honestly didn't think you'd respond. Big fan of your videos.
Also, (Just a suggestion for a future video), could you do a United States of NASCAR for the Xfinity and Truck Series?
@@jareddiamond5133 It could happen 👀
@@DoglegMediaMatt Cool
-cries in coloradan- i'm in a nascar desert T_T
We should come back to pikes peak!
Brad Keselowski & Erik Jones are from my home state
Not bad company!
And I have the Waltrip's and Mayfield in my home state (for the love of God someone better not mention "the thing")
You forgot Kyle Petty, & I thought Benny Parsons was a taxicab driver from Detroit.
His win totals were counted, I just didn’t have time to get to everyone. Thanks for watching!
@@DoglegMediaMatt benny parsons was also a champion
@@aviationlaa yeah I didn’t categorize him correctly, but his championship was included in the state’s numbers
someone might of already said this, but at the beginning, you said New Hampshire is the only state to have an active track with no winner. So does Delaware and Dover Motor Speedway
Yeah I can’t believe I missed that, especially considering Dover is my favorite track! 😅
I want Ben Rhodes to join cup so bad...
It would be nice 😭
If Preece wins it will most definitely be at a short track or New Hampshire
No doubt Florida would be looking much better in the wins and championship talley if Davey Alison hadn’t been tragically killed.
This is the realest comment right here. Davey was special
Davey Allison was born in Alabama. So Florida's and Alabama's race wins are wrong. Also, you can add Red Farmer to Florida's Hall of Fame list.
So a few things:
Davey was born in Hollywood Florida, while raised in Alabama, he was born in Florida.
Red Farmer is a Hall of famer from Tennessee not Florida haha
Honorable mentions for non winners most known for their dirt career
Arkansas has another driver jarred landers also from bastesville he raced the first mud summer classic
Illinois has Bobby pierce
Tennessee has Scott Bloomquist
West Virginia has Tyler Carpenter
This is exactly what I was hoping to get for honorable mentions! Thanks!
@@DoglegMediaMatt Indiana has Rico abreu
Alan actually didnt win the 1992 Hooters 500....but he was the big winner that day💪🐁
I phrased it wrong, I know he finished second that day on track, but won the war!
Bro completely forgot about Dover Monster Mile 😭 we get no recognition
Dover is my favorite track too…. I’m sorry😭
Connecticut is either the Constitution State or the Nutmeg State - either applies
Thanks for this!
I guess you only count Cup wins because Rick Carreli from Colorado won some truck races.
That is correct, just cup for this one!
‘Bout the only thing Minnesota has going for it is a dead 4 banger driver(ChristianElder) I raced against him for years,if it wasn’t for daddy’s checkbook- well, you know the rest.
William Sawalich is from Minnesota as well, he has some talent!
You forgot Aric Almirola who was born in Florida and Johnny Benson who was born in Michigan
So while I didn’t mention them verbally, their numbers are included in the totals
@@DoglegMediaMatt Ok gotcha. Love the content.
Florida: Denny Hamlin and Ross Chastain ummmmmm, 2022 rivalry ummmmmmmn
It was meant to be 😂
I know right
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The sauters are from Minnesota cause they were all born in Stillwater and it’s the only city that will let u use wisc
Colorado is an interesting one. We had furniture row, but no driver was from Colorado. So, we have a championship if you count both team and drive, multiple wins and more.
Yeah as a team they definitely have a lot more success than their lone win!
@@DoglegMediaMatt if we were to include truck(and obviously Xfinity) we can add 4 to the wins and 1 to the winners, thanks to Rick Carelli.
@@theace7002 great bit of info!
Ricky Stenhouse was actually born in Memphis, Tennessee. So Lake Speed is the only winner from Mississippi
Memphis is 5 minutes away and most people from Olive Branch were actually born in Memphis including myself
I checked so many sources on this and I just found that you are right, thanks for the info! Almost everything showed olive branch, but hearing it from a local is way better than any internet article! You rock!
Howdy
Welcome in!
Are the All Star races not counted here? Sam Hornish Jr won the sprint showdown in 2009 and he was born in Archbold Ohio
Only points paying races haha but great mention!
Delaware has and active track
Is Dover not in Delaware?
One of many blunders by me 😂 I promise the actual stats are accurate tho! Just a verbal blunder haha
Graphic had zero wins for Oregon
Looks like you accidentally put Oregon's win total at 0, instead of 8
Yeah, classic dogleg mistake 😂 luckily if I mess up the on screen I’m right in what I say, and if I mess something up verbally the screen is right haha
