He acquired the nickname “the Intimidator” for his obsession with winning by any means necessary. He took 76 checkered flags, sixth-most in Winston Cup history. It was an obsession that earned him more money than any driver in Winston Cup history (over $41 million) and tied him for the most titles in Winston Cup history (7, tied with Richard Petty).
