Stock car racing has always been a family affair, and these ties in NASCAR have played an integral part in helping the sport maintain consistent continuity over seven long decades. While sons have followed their fathers in other sports, none compares to the nepotism in NASCAR. Richard Petty, Dale Jarrett, Dale Earnhardt, Chase Elliott, and Brad Keselowski all followed their fathers into the sport and eventually won championships. After all, the sanctioning body has been under the grips of one infamous family since its inception by Bill France Sr in 1948.

However, a rapidly evolving field has spilled a lot of water on the ageless ‘nepotism debate,’ considering the visually reduced number of drivers with familial ties to the sport in recent times. But outspoken Kenny Wallace has stirred the pot yet again, thanks in part to the father-son duo of Randy & Corey LaJoie.

As per Kenny Wallace, his declarations earlier of Mr. Popular ending his career potentially as the last driver hailing from a ‘great NASCAR bloodline’ did not sit right with his former Busch Series rival.
