NASCAR Racing: age, gatorade duels at daytona, james hylton

Question
what is the oldest age a nextel cupdriver has started racing

Answer
Hi Alex,

Out of the hundreds of NASCAR drivers there have been in the last 60 years, i do not know the oldest of them all.  The only thing i can say for sure is that James Hylton is the oldest and currently active NASCAR driver who tried to make this year's Daytona 500 at 72 years old.  He only missed it by a few spots in the Gatorade Duels at Daytona.  All is can say is that I hope I can still drive on the highway when I am 72!
Hope I helped
