• Yarborough joins the South Carolina Hall of Fame: South Carolina Hall of Fame President Brad Dean described both men inducted Monday into the state Hall of Fame at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center as American heroes, one of whom flew in an airplane while the other flew in a stock car. World War II veteran William Farrow and NASCAR Hall of Famer William Caleb "Cale" Yarborough were the 84th and 85th inductees into the S.C. Hall of Fame. Yarborough was in Myrtle Beach on Monday for the induction ceremony. Before the formal festivities began, he talked to students from Myrtle Beach Middle School and cadets of the Junior ROTC from Horry County Schools. "Life's victories don't always go to the fastest or strongest man," Yarborough told the more than 100 students who had some of their own questions for the racing legend. Yarborough admitted to getting a little nervous before races because of the tough job ahead. However, it all went out the window when that light turned green at the starting line. Yarborough's racing career began in 1957. Over 31 years, he won 83 victories, which ranks fifth all-time. Yarborough won three consecutive Sprint Cup championships from 1976 to 1978, an achievement unmatched until 2008. In that three-year span, he was the victor in 28 races. He was the second NASCAR driver to appear on the cover of "Sports Illustrated," and was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2012.(Myrtle Beach Sun News)(3-26-2013)
