Mopar Legend / NASCAR Drive Buddy Arrington Passed Away At The Age Of 84:​

One Of The Last Great Driver/Owners In NASCAR...​

The Mopar community lost a legend with the passing of longtime independent racecar driver, Buddy Arrington. Arrington, who passed at the age of 84 competed in the NASCAR Cup Series throughout the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.

Making his Cup debut at the 1963 Jacksonville 200, the South Virginian was one of the sport’s last true team owners who drove his own cars. Extremely loyal to Mopar throughout his career in stock car racing, he was known for running Chryslers and Dodges until 1985 (mind you Chrysler Corporation stopped factory support of NASCAR in 1978).
