H.B. Bailey was a NASCAR driver. He was famous for racing his #36 Pontiac part-time as an independent driver in the Grand National/Winston Cup series from 1962 to 1993.
Although never running a full schedule, his never-say-die love-to-race attitude made him popular with fans. He became the first driver to take a qualifying lap for the inaugural Brickyard 400 in 1994, despite the fact he didn't make the race. He died of heart failure on April 17, 2003.
