A record I don’t want to see broken
There are certain records in sports that will likely never be broken such as Cal Ripken’s consecutive games played streak, Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak and UCLA winning seven straight men’s college basketball titles.Another that goes over looked in NASCAR is what Ned Jarrett did in the 1965 Southern 500. Jarrett won the race by a whopping 14 laps, a record that still stands today.
It’s amazing to see a race these days when only eight or nine cars finish on the lead lap So, to win a race by that much is hard to comprehend.
But I could tell you for one thing I’m glad things like that don’t happen today, least I hope.
It would be bad for the sport and boring to watch. So, Ned I hope your record stays safe forever.
