One of the most hyped stats by the Bakersfield March Meet historians are the five Top Fuel wins by Don Garlits, the most by any Top Fuel driver.  However, legendary Super Stock and Funny Car driver Jess Tyree stands tall with six wins in Super Stock, dating back to the inaugural event.  Tyree then added five consecutive wins from 1961-1965.

Tyree, shown with his Fuel and Gas Championships trophy from the 1965 event, currently competes in nostalgia B/Gas with the same 1963 Pontiac Tempest that earned him his win in 1963.

Wouldn't it be neat to see him add a seventh title?
