The Resume

    (April 18, 1949- )
    Nascar Winston Cup Rookie of the Year (1982)
    Daytona 500 winner (1986)
    Won Winston Select All Star Race (1994)
    Began designing and building Bobsleds for the US Olympic Team (1992)

Why he might be annoying:

    He's bald.
    Him and fellow driver, Davey Allison had several on-track incidents, one of which got Bodine parked for the rest of the race.
    His career was never the same after being involved in a frightening crash during a Nascar Craftsman Truck Series race at Daytona in 2000.
    The first Olympics for the bobsleds, in 1994, were unsuccessful.
    He won the 1986 Daytona 500 by making one less pit stop than the rest of the leaders.
    He now wants to be known as Geoffrey rather than Geoff.

Why he might not be annoying:

    When he found out that the United States Olympic Team was using sleds that were used previously by European Olympic teams, he and a friend of his, who builds race cars, got together and began designing and building bobsleds.
    Their bobsleds won 3 medals at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah.
    Their design of the Bobsled has been copied by the German team.
    He is in the Guinness Book of World Records for winning the most races in one season (55).
    He survived a frightening crash at Daytona in 2000 where the truck he was racing got hit and launched into the protective catch fencing and rolled, caught on fire and got hit by several other trucks. He was conscious when he was taken out of the truck. He returned to racing several months later.
    He is the first driver to race in Nascar with Power Steering and a full-face protective helmet.
    He is a board member for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
