Past ChampionsWinning the NASCAR Winston Cup championship is the dream
of every driver who straps on a helmet and takes his place behind the steering wheel. From Red Byron in 1949 to Bobby Labonte last season, the list of NASCAR Winston Cup champions
reads like a who's who of the sport. Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt top the list with seven championships apiece.
Much like the sport, the Winston Cup championship has been a family affair -- Lee and Richard Petty, Ned and Dale Jarrett, Terry and Bobby Labonte.
