NASCAR Grand National Career: 1948-1964
From a inauspicious start on the hard-packed sands of Daytona Beach Florida, in 1948. Edward Glen Roberts, fashioned one of the most successful and glamorous careers in NASCAR history. Some have said perhaps the greatest driver never to win a NASCAR Championship title. Roberts accumulated 33 wins including the 1962 Daytona 500, in a career that spanned 16 seasons before his untimely death in 1964 in a fiery accident at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He earned his name from his ability to throw a baseball from his years as a pitcher in his youth. He was the epitome of the exciting, young racing star. His death was a blow to the racing world. Many have said there was no predicting how far Roberts would have progressed as a driver, since he was clearly the pathfinder of the super speedway era. He was truly one of the foundations of NASCAR today.
