What Driver has won from starting the deepest in the field?


Name the driver, his starting position, the track and the year.


As an added bonus, name the number of cars starting the race.

That's the man I was looking for. It's amazing that they could start with such large fields back then. When you consider a 75 car field, 43rd was mid pack.


 The next deepest start for a winner was Bill Elliot at Daytona in July 1988 and Elliot Sadler at Bristol in 2001 both from the 38th out of 43 cars.
