Mr. Cale, your record may well stand forever, because NASCAR ain’t worth watching now and the drivers aren’t the same.

[@bighand1530]

He will be missed

[@donniehelmly4920]

He was a great guy....I have been part of this sport in MANY ways. 1st race, was 1963 at Jacksonville Speedway Park. Wendell Scott won. My last race was the final Cup race in 2023. My next race. In LA....and then Daytona....I will go to every single Xfinity race again this year. And Cup races that are the same weekend.

[@joeycollier8908]

R.I.P. Cale. Undoubtedly one of the best ever.

[@Slinger43]

Short Man was a steely eyed Baddass & still is today! 💪 His family announced a few month's back that Cale was in very bad health, practically at death's door & his daughter's asked for prayer's for him, in typical Cale fashion, he is STILL HERE with us! 🙏 Get well Cale & please do it in your usual fashion...FAST!! ✝️

[@robinlanier6886]

He's racing for the Lord now. RIP Cale, you're a LEGEND!! 🏁🏆💕

[@Slinger43]

@@robinlanier6886 Amen 🙏✝️ He & Buddy Baker are banging on each other right now, while Pearson is cruising along in 3rd, smoking a cigarette & laughing his butt off! 😂

Cale is one of my all time favorite nascar personalities and drivers, to me he stands beside the two more greats, that are my favorites, Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt, and especially Cale Yarborough...I was always a Cale Yarborough fan, as long as he drove a Chevy or GM car..lol..But what made me a real Cale fan was, I heard a story from a close friend of his, about how kind and generous he is, as a person...In the county that he lives in and grew up in, in South Carolina, Darlington county(I think)Cale had an account set up with the school district there, for any child that needed school lunch assistants, the bill was on him...he said, let no child go hungry while trying to learn...What a great thing to do for his community

[@carlsands4060]

My favorite also.

RIP Cale!

Rest in NASCAR Heaven Mr. Yarborough. I loved watching you and your racing methods. All out and nothing less 🙌🏼🙏🏼😎🤙🏼🏁

hard to beat

[@caleb6988]

I was named after cale and met him a few times when I was younger. R.I.P. CALE

[@robinlanier6886]

Cool story! 😁🏁🏆

[@scottrothrock5396]

I wasn’t a Cale Yarborough fan. Back then. I was a Petty fan and still am. But looking back now I was a big fan of not just Richard Petty but of Cale. David Pearson. Bobby Allison all those guys. They were the best of the best. Anyone who came out on top with these guys in a race had beaten the best. They all gave me many years of pleasure while listening to Barney Hall on the radio. NASCAR isn’t the same and looks like it never will be again 😢

[@GoDawgs65]

Agreed!

[@williamcap2236]

Rest in peace Cale ! 😭😭

[@screwball1433]

One of the best and one that put nascar on the map

[@OldHickoryAndyJackson]

Always like the picture of Cale with dirt on his face with that dogged look, he was tough customer

[@clarenceswope6706]

Rip Cale you will be missed

[@edmondcamp2878]

Cale Yarborough is one of if not the only driver that didn’t have to have a race car set up perfect to win a race. As Junior Johnson (whose probably the only other driver that could have said that) once said Cale could get more out of a car that anybody he ever seen.

[@drivin379]

And he made kid engine sounds as he drove in the curves

[@edmondcamp2878]

@@drivin379 That must have helped him because he never needed a relief driver lol.

[@drivin379]

They talk bout on few shows Know dale jr download they did awhile back Wish cale would get on there

[@ethanweeter2732]

Junior raced against Cale I believe.

[@bighand1530]

@@ethanweeter2732 Correct. While on the topic of Junior Johnson and number 11, now Denny Hamlin holds the record for who has won the most of races to not win the championship. And sadly, Cale Yarborough passed away today. Last day of 2023 too.

[@ethanweeter2732]

He is also friends with Jimmy Carter of all people.

[@bighand1530]

Sadly, Cale Yarborough passed away today. Jimmy Carter might reach 100 in 2024.

[@jesusleon8735]

More than likely he was an old school democrat himself , I saw he ran for like local positions within his cities of residence too ; Though Carter was known as one of worst president in that era of his time I’m sure in todays politics , Cale’s wouldn’t align as much with the left , knowing how far to the left the left is , but then again neither the republicans the RINOs in todays time aren’t even any better

[@Vigilant_Guardian]

so proud of this man, the word "character" in the dictionary should have included in the definition a picture of Cale Yarborough

[@jeffreygortz6146]

R.i.p. cale , i grew up watching you , made me a nascar fan ❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-hl8zf5fl3m]

I cale in Daytona. In the pits,me and a friend had put passes. He and two other mechanics were hovering over there car engine and me and Eric Lyon went over and started talking with them. He was the nicest guy. We had the long promo tickets. He sign the whole ticket. I was rambling on how cale was one of my best friends and he wrote it all down. He was a very cool guy

I was convinced he had the prettiest wife you got an autograph he signed it while he's still had his arm around her 1975 Michigan

[@nicholasdavis21]

[@mymiataflys]

Country Strong

[@louisvassallo2227]

He crashed a couple of 1970 Torion King Cobras ,too because the rear had no downforce . He always pushed cars too hard just like Leroy or Buddy Baker .

[@headbrown5629]

Red Miler,who was Cales first crew chief for a skeleton crew team out of Holman Moody was Richard & Maurice Petty's maternal Grandfather, Lee Petty's father in law. Red Miler's fingerprints are all over the history of Nascar & Trans am "through Bud Moore" racing.
