Bob Derrington was a NASCAR Grand National Series race car driver whose career spanned from 1964 to 1966.[1]
His average start was 20th place while his average finish was 15th. Derrington also earned three finishes in the "top five" and raced a distance of 9856.2miles - the equivalent of 13,427 laps.[1]
However, he only managed to lead a single lap in his entire career and earned a meager $26,530 ($ when adjusted for inflation).[1] Derrington had an 80-race winless streak during his NASCAR career. Finishing an average of 15th place, he managed to qualify in 20th place during an average qualifying session; making his finishes better on average than his starts.[2]
During his career, Derrington was caught by NASCAR officials for having a 23-gallon tank in his vehicle instead of the mandated 22-gallon tank. His vehicle had to go to a nearby welding shop to make the fuel tank conform to the NASCAR standards at that time.[3]
