"America's Top Driver is one of the most interesting, and compelling racing series I've ever seen," commented Yarborough. "I think it's great. For a young driver to have a chance to race in great equipment, on a big-time racetrack, with a chance to go head-to-head with a ꦰsuperstar for One Million Dollars . . . I wish I could jump in the car myself.
"Aside from the whole excitement of the series, we mi✨ght just find that next Richard Petty or Dale Earnhardt. A lot🐟 about racing is being in the right place at the right time. I know that first hand. Racing has been very good to me, and if this series could be the right place, and the right time for a young driver, then I'm all for it. I just think it could be a great and entertaining racing series that we could do year after year."
Yarborough is a giant in stock car racing and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to America's Top Driver. He won 83 of 558💝 races, an impressive 14.87 winning percentage. His 83 wins are fifth on the all-time list. He also won 70 poles, third on the all-time list.
While winning more than $5 million in prize money, Yarborough accomplished some otherꦇ impressive statistics. He's the only driver to win the NASCAR Grand Nat🧜ional (now NASCAR Nextel Cup) championship three years in succession (1976-78), and the only champion (1977) to be running at the finish of every race.
In🌌 1987 Yarborough formed Cale Yarborough Motorsports, which competed in the NASCAR Winston (now Nextel) 𓆉Cup until 1999.
Idea Chairman & CEO, William C. Morris added: "Landing a legend like Cale Yarborough in this capacity is a great start for us. I'm excited ab🐠out his initial passion and enthusiasm regarding America's Top Driver. I look forward to working closely with him on this project, and other Motorsports projects that Idea has in the works."
