Contents

NASCAR career

Boggs made his debut in NASCAR competition in 1970, winning Rookie of the Year in the Grand American series. [1] He moved up to the Winston Cup Series in 1971, making his debut at Bowman Gray Stadium and finishing ninth; he would compete in 32 races over three seasons, posting a best finish of sixth at Dover Downs International Speedway later that year. [2] Boggs' Winston Cup career would be remembered most for a cut tire starting a wreck during the qualifying races for the 1972 Daytona 500 that resulted in the death of Friday Hassler. [3] Boggs also competed in 11 races in the Grand National East Division in 1972 and 1973 with a best finish of fifth. [4] Following his Winston Cup career, Boggs returned to North Carolina's short tracks, competing in late model stock cars. [5]

Boggs returned to NASCAR competition in the Busch Series between 1983 and 1986, running three races with a best finish of 21st; [6] In his final race in the series at North Carolina Motor Speedway he suffered broken legs in a crash. [7] Boggs attempted a comeback in the series in 2002, attempting to qualify for the season-opening race at Daytona International Speedway, but failed to make the race. [8]

ARCA career

Boggs made his debut in Automobile Racing Club of America competition in 1973, running five races that were co-sanctioned with the NASCAR Grand National East Series; after competing in a few events in the series in the late 1980s, he became a regular competitor in ARCA during the 1990s. His best finish, fifth, came in a rain-shortened race at Lowe's Motor Speedway in 2003. [9] Boggs retired from competition following the 2007 season. [10]
