Baxter Price (born November 29, 1938) is an American racing driver from Monroe, North Carolina who competed in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series.[1]
Career
Price made 90 Winston Cup starts beginning in 1973, often as an owner-driver. He competed nearly full-time in 1978, when he finished a career-best 23rd in points, and 1979 when he finished 25th.[1] He retired from NASCAR competition in 1981.
Price has the dubious distinction of being the driver with the most NASCAR cup starts to have never recorded a top-ten finish. His 90 starts is seven more than Rick Newsom's 83.[1] His best finish was eleventh in the 1978 running of the Virginia 500 (now Goody's Fast Pain Relief 500) at Martinsville Speedway.[1]
