Buddy Baker's Grey Ghost Oldsmobile

Buddy Baker drove one of the fastest and scariest cars in NASCAR. It was called the "Gray Ghost". The reason for an Oldsmobile in a MoparWiki is that before Mopar got out of NASCAR the first time, Buddy Baker was a Mopar driver and the Gray Ghost was mentioned in his Wiki.

The reason it was given that name was because the car would come up behind other drivers and it was hard to see because it would blend in with the track. The gray part of the car which was the hood, top and rear deck-lid blended in with the speedway. The sides of the car was black so that didn't help either. When the other drivers would look in their mirrors they wouldn't see it coming and all of a sudden, it was like an explosion when the car went by because of the speed it generated.

NASCAR officials finally made Baker put Day-Glo strips on the front of the car so it could be seen in the rear view mirrors of the other drivers. It was the Gray Ghost Baker drove to victory at the Daytona 500, his only victory there. Some of the drivers complained to NASCAR, thus the reason why the strips were ordered to be put on it.
