Following in his father,#NASCARHOFer Buck Baker’s footsteps, Buddy Baker took to racing creating a legacy (and setting records) of his own. In 1970, Baker became the first driver to eclipse the 200-mph mark on a closed course while testing at @TalladegaSuperS. #NASCAR #NASCARHall pic.twitter.com/rfGULKY3jf

Buddy Baker not only goes in as a #DAYTONA500 champion & winner of the Firecracker 400, but his 177.602mph average speed driving the ‘Grey Ghost’ in the 1980 DAYTONA 500 is still the record for Fastest Winning Speed in the DAYTONA 500. pic.twitter.com/Jr2pAHTlj4
#NASCAR | Buddy Baker won 6 of his 19 Cup races with #Ford, which included a career-best four wins in 1975 with Hall of Famer Bud Moore. Now he will join him in the #NASCARHall as a 2020 inductee. pic.twitter.com/cakskKlJqS
