Harry Gant the Skoal Bandit, Harry is in his 80's now but what he did at the age of 51 in 1991 will never be duplicated, he won a total of 5 races in 1991 and he because Mr. September winning 4 Winston Cup races in a row and finishing in 2nd place in the fifth race because of a 10 cent O-Ring failed with his brakes with just a few laps remain in a race he dominated. But Harry was not done, he also won the two Busch Series races ran in September as well for a total of 6 wins and 1 second place finish.

Harry Gant was a class act back in the day; a very talented driver and humble individual.  I loved watching NASCAR back then....not so much anymore.
