"We mourn the loss of NASCAR Champion and Hall of Famer, Rex White. Rex epitomized the formative days of NASCAR — a true pioneer whose contributions helped shape the foundation of our sport. His hard work, dedication, and talent allowed him to make a living doing what he loved most — racing cars.

Rex White won 28 times in 233 starts during his nine-year career and was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2015.

Rex White, who became just the seventh driver to win a Cup Series championship in 1960, has died. The Hall of Famer was 95.
