*Although a top driver in NASCAR Cup racing, DeWayne “Tiny” Lund, who was “tiny” only in name as he stood 6’ 5” and weighed 270 lbs., operated a fishing camp in his hometown of Cross, SC, when he wasn’t racing and was known as an excellent fishing guide. He caught a world-record 55-pound striped bass in the Santee River near his camp on Lake Moutrie in the early-1960s, and many of the cars he drove after that carried the No. 55 in honor of that feat., *ISC Images & Archives via Getty Images**
