Growing up on a North Carolina farm, Rex familiarized himself with all things mechanical and enjoyed driving anything with wheels. He began his driving career in 1954 before moving to NASCAR’s premier series in 1956. Rex captured NASCAR’s top prize as both a driver and car owner, winning the 1960 NASCAR Cup Series championship on the strength of six wins and XX top XX finishes in XX starts. A short track specialist, Rex made a name for himself in an era when those tracks dominated the schedule. Of his XX career wins in NASCAR’s premier series, XX were on tracks of a mile or less. He accomplished that in only XXX total starts over a period of just nine years. A member of the Class of 2015, Rex was among NASCAR’s pioneers who remained very visible at tracks and industry events for years. He was a dedicated ambassador who enjoyed supporting any event or activity he was requested to participate in. NASCAR has lost one of its true pioneers and the NASCAR Hall of Fame team and I have lost one of our staunchest supporters and cherished friends. Rex’s legacy and incredible accomplishments in and contributions to NASCAR will forever remain in our hearts, minds, archives and at the NASCAR Hall of Fame."
