raced in the NASCAR Cup Series.

started in six races during his Cup career, taking a best finish of 18th
at Alabama International Motor Speedway (now Talladega Superspeedway) in 1978.
However, he would have a more noteworthy career in sports car racing, winning
the 1983 24 Hours of Daytona to go along with seven class victories at the 24
Hours of Le Mans.
1. Jo
Schlesser (Active 1964)
Schlesser
competed in a pair of Cup Series races during the 1964 season, becoming the
only French driver to score a top-10 as he grabbed ninth in his qualifying race
for that year’s Daytona 500, as he would go on to finish 13th in the
500 itself.
