Stanton Barrett

His father, Stan Barrett who was also a Hollywood stuntman raced in 19 Winston Cup series races between 1980 and 1990, posting two top ten finishes.

Barrett made his NASCAR debut in the Busch Series at the 1992 Food City 250 at the tender age of 19, finishing 26th out of 29 cars following an accident on lap 39. He made a few limited starts in the Busch Series for several years, finishing a career best 5th at the spring race at Atlanta in 1996. In 1999, he ran several races in the Channellock Chevy for Darwin Oordt but was soon replaced by Butch Miller. He finished out the year for Steve Coulter, competing in the final three races of the season for him. 1999 was also the year he made his Winston Cup debut, at the Las Vegas 400 for Junie Donlavey, starting 42nd and finished 30th. Barrett also declared for NASCAR Winston Cup Rookie of the Year that year, but fell well short of the required number of races need to qualify. After only qualifying for two of the several races he attempted with Donlavey that year, he joined Tri-Star Motorsports for the 2000 Daytona 500 with sportcut.com as a sponsor. He attempted the Bud Shootout qualifer for drivers who ran the fastest in 2nd-round-qualifying in 1999, but crashed, and did not make the 500. After running several Busch Series races as an owner/driver in 2002, Barrett got his first shot at a quality ride in 2003, when he signed with Jack Roush's Busch Series team and won two poles, but sponsorship woes forced the team to close down.(Mysteriously, the team reappeared the next year with sponsorship, but Barrett wasn't offered the ride.) In 2004, Barrett returned to Nextel Cup driving the #94 car owned by Dave Watson. For 2005, Barrett attempted another run at NASCAR Winston Cup Rookie of the Year with #92 Chevy for Front Row Motorsports, but was soon released. He started his year in the Busch Series in the underfunded #36 Pontiac, and is currently 20th in points, but was released and signed with #40 car at FitzBradshaw Racing. Following his release from FRM, he started his own team using cars from The Sadler Brothers Racing Team.
