Template:Short description Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Jack Pennington (born September 3, 1953) is a dirt late model driver from Augusta, Georgia.
He was an ace in late model dirt track racing before he moved up to the Busch Series in 1989, making six starts, finishing with 2 top tens. He made his Winston Cup debut late in 1989, driving two races that year. He then ran fourteen races in 1990 in the No. 47 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme for Close Racing. He led in the 1990 Daytona 500 at one point, leading 6 laps in the race. He was second in the 1990 Rookie of the Year standings in questionable situations since the winner was posthumously awarded after being killed in a drunk driving incident returning home from the September North Wilkesboro round with a .22 BAC, more than twice the legal limit. Under current rules, Pennington would have won Rookie of the year under a disciplinary rule NASCAR has since imposed requiring drivers to finish the season in good standing. He never raced in NASCAR again after that year, returning to the Georgia dirt Late Model circuit, winning often over 20 features each year for the next decade.[1]
Career award
He was inducted in the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame in 2006.[2]
