Detailed Biography of Buddy Baker
|
NASCAR driver, Buddy Baker, was born on January 25, 1941 in Florence, South Carolina. Baker is a retired NASCAR racecar driver. He is the son of two time winner of the NASCAR Championship and a Hall of Fame member Buck Baker. Baker began his NASCAR career in 1959. In 1970, he became the first driver to ever exceed 200 mph (320 km/h) on a closed course. The same year, with a victory at the Southern 500, he became the first NASCAR driver to win the same race at the same venue as his father. Buck won it in 1953.
During his career, Buddy Baker won nineteen races including the 1980 Daytona 500, NASCAR's most prestigious race. His victory remains the fastest Daytona 500 ever run, with an average speed of 177.602 mph (285.809 km/h).
While driving at Pocono Raceway in 1985, Baker was one of eight drivers to have won a Career Grand Slam, by winning the sport's four majors -- the Daytona 500, Aaron's 499, Coca-Cola 600, and the Southern 500.; Richard Petty, David Pearson, Bobby Allison, Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, and Jimmie Johnson are the other seven to have accomplished the feat. He is the only one of the eight to not win the championship.
Buddy Baker generally raced part-time, competing in every race in only three seasons. He owned a car with Danny Schiff from 1985 to 1989, and was instrumental in the career of Jimmy Spencer. He competed in two International Race of Champions series. His final race in NASCAR was in 1992. Buddy currently helps run the Buck Baker Racing School with his brother.
From 1991 until 2000, Buddy Baker became a television commentator on The Nashville Network and later (1994-2000) races produced by their World Sports Enterprises division, including CBS races. During 2007, Buddy could be heard as the part-time co-host of The Driver's Seat with John Kernan on Sirius Satellite Radio's NASCAR channel 128. As of 2008, Buddy now the co-hosts Late Shift along with Rick Benjamin on Sirius Satellite Radio.
