      I would love one on Jeff Ward, his career is mind-blowing
      · Born in Scotland
      · Parents moved to the USA when he was like 5
      · Age 7, he somehow comes across the team filming the legendary documentary "On Any Sunday". Jeff Ward is the little kid with the #104 minibike.
      · He becomes the first AMA Pro rider that already had huge success in minimotos before
      · Wins every AMA Motocross and AMA Supercross title possible at the time (125MX, 250MX, 500MX and 250SX), ends up with 7 individual titles
      · 7-time Motocross des Nations winner (always with Team USA)
      · Moves to the Atlantic Series (Indy Lights nowadays) because he was friends with Canada's own Paul Tracy
      · Once the CART/IRL split happens, finds a spot in the IRL
      · 3rd in the 1997 Indy 500
      · Finally wins an IRL race in 2002 at the Texas Motor Speedway
      · In 2003 they told him he wouldn't get an IRL ride witout paying so he quits. Meanwhile, the supermoto craze starts and he ends up testing with Jeremy McGrath (King of Supercross) and Troy Lee (TLD means Troy Lee Designs)
      · 2004 (age 43) and 2006 (age 45) AMA Supermoto champion plus 2006 and 2008 (age 47) X-Games Supermoto winner
      · 2009 = runner-up to the LOORS Pro-2 championship (trophy trucks but around a track instead of the desert)
      · And, most importantly, HE NEVER PAID TO RACE

      @@sketchybucket6355 Better? Lol. Dale: One Daytona 500 win. Richard: Seven Daytona 500 wins. In case you claim it was easier during Petty's era, multiple driver's won multiple Dayton's 500's during Earnhardt's era and since. It's also a disclaimer that Earnhardt's success was because of his driving style. The majority of his championships didn't come from leading the most laps and winning the most races. His success came from the lack of DNF's during those seasons. Earnhardt was never voted best driver until his death when he became a martyr. In 1999 he was placed behind several drivers in multiple lists behind drivers such as Richard Petty, David Pearson, Bobby Allison, Mario Andretti, and Junior Johnson.
