Jarrett and his father, Ned -- the 1961 and '65 NASCAR champion who worked for ESPN from 1988 to 2000 as a NASCAR analyst -- were just the second father-son combo to win Cup titles. (Lee and Richard Petty were first). The 2008 season was Jarrett's last as a driver.
The 1989 NASCAR champion, whose 25-year career included 55 Cup wins, Rusty Wallace serves as an analyst for ESPN's NASCAR coverage, appearing on NASCAR Countdown and across multiple ESPN platforms.

Additionally, Wallace has served as a NASCAR analyst for SportsCenter on ESPN. Wallace ranks as one of the top five money winners in NASCAR history, with nearly $50 million in career winnings. ![]() Brad Daugherty is a five-time NBA All-Star who spent eight seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team that selected him as the No. 1 pick in the 1986 draft. Daugherty joined ESPN in 2007 as an analyst for NASCAR Now and NASCAR Countdown. A follower of NASCAR since his childhood, his No. 43 jersey was chosen in honor of Richard Petty. Daugherty also spent time as a winning NASCAR Nationwide Series and Craftsman Truck Series team owner with drivers Robert Pressley, Kenny Irwin Jr. and others. Pressley won a Nationwide Series race in 1989 in a car owned by Daugherty while Irwin won two Truck Series races for Daugherty in 1997.

He led Harry Gant to four straight NASCAR Cup wins during the 1991 season. As a driver, he raced on a part-time basis from 1988 to 2004.

Said has driven for top NASCAR teams in Series road course events and in the past two seasons has expanded his NASCAR schedule to include oval tracks. In 2006 he shocked NASCAR regulars by winning the pole for the Pepsi 400 at Daytona, ultimately finishing fourth in the race. ![]() Jeff Carter entered the NHL in the 2005-06 season and immediately made his mark, scoring 22 goals as a rookie. After an injury-marred sophomore season, Carter rebounded with a 30-goal season in 2007-08. His fourth season has been even better as he currently is among the league leaders in goals scored. Carter is an admitted NASCAR junkie who stays on top of the Sprint Cup while he's on the road with the Flyers. ![]() Kristi Leskinen is a professional freestyle skier and five time veteran of the Winter X Games where she won a bronze medal at Winter X Games IX in Aspen, Colo.
