...'Lots of times the driver/team who is favored to win, wins.  But every once in a while, as a fan, we're treated to those times when the underdog, or someone who wasn't on anyone's radar, at the end of the race, was the one standing in victory lane holding the checkered flag!

It may have been a big high profile event, or maybe just a regular weekend feature (any division), but let us know a time that you remember where you saw a "Big Upset!"

Let us know the driver's name and the track and anything else you'd like to add about the event.

It could be dirt, asphalt, small track, national track.... whatever.  Just let us know what memory you come up with when we ask you to remember "The Biggest Upset."

Thanks, and as always, have fun thinking about this weekend's trivia question.

Won the 1990 Daytona 500 for Bob Whitcomb after Earnhardt blew a tire on the last lap. Not sure, but it may have been his only Cup win. I wasn't the only one there that reveled in Earnhardt's misery either! 

I was there (Daytona) too Steve and that was definitely a huge upset.

He also won at Dover probably the same year, and I think I was there too.

Jim took his homemade letter J to victory lane at Grandview Speedway. 

I know Billy is considered one of the best, but for me his victory in the 1993 Flemington ( laps on 200 on asphalt?) ROC race.  He started last in Mario Fiore's #44.  I believe a car he never sat in until that race.  Scott Ely  

This video captures the best part of it Scott...Pauchie comes from out of nowhere to win it!

Flemington 1993 ROC-Pauch & Fiore outsmart the field!

1967 Daytona 500 to Mario Andretti

Spin & win Danny Sullivan

I was there for that one too Gene....  Sitting in between turns one and two with a great view of the spin part of the spin and win!

Bob Weisenmeyer #32A

This tells the story really well. I was familiar with the car from Wall and Old Bridge where it was somewhat of a mid field car. It sure worked great on dirt though. :)

From post below. Pauch in Hamiltons #77. Won Thunder on the Hill race on the last lap 1st time ever driving that particular 410 sprint car. Rahmer even pulled up to him and gave him a thumbs up on the cool down lap!

If I'm allowed a second entry...I know he won other races with the Outlaws, but he won the '01 Historical Big One at Eldora on my only trip there.

Ron Bouchard winning at Talladega in 1981 for Jack Beebes Race Hill Farm team, car #47. I was there in person for that and it was a huge upset!

Won a modified feature in 1975, one of only maybe 2 top tens ever.

Jr Mikosz #21 beat Kenny Brightbil #19l for a Reading Fairgounds Victory!

Wins the Nazareth opener in 1968.

Jerry won the 1977 Dog-Leg 200 at Trenton in a small block. He passed away Feb. 4th at 81.

Alex Yankowski  won a barn burner at Bridgeport in 2020 in the Danny Serrano Memorial race. He won and did'nt know it and took an extra lap and flipped coming back to the start finish line.  

when the Canadian doug Carlyle won the 1977 freedom 76.

1985 Firecracker 400 in the Digard Racing #10 R&D car.

1979 Flemington 200

1964 Langhorne winner Freddy Adam

I was at Flemington the Night Ron Harrison won the Modified feature.. I think 70's Car # 37 held of some big names to win..
