Who has won the most NASCAR Cup Series races?
More than 195 drivers have won a Cup Series race since NASCAR started in 1948, but who has won the most?
Longtime NASCAR driver Morgan Shepherd has been diagnosed with early stage Parkinson’s disease, his team announced Monday on its website.
Shepherd entered 16 races as a driver in 2019.
Shepherd, 79, had driven in at least one of NASCAR’s three national series for over 50 years straight before this season. His last race was the 2019 Indiana 250 in the Xfinity Series, where he finished 36th.
“We all have had challenges to overcome and Morgan has always wanted to be an encourager, defying his age in physical and mental ability. Morgan's charity work with the physically challenged has inspired him in the toughest times and currently continues in his diagnosis,” the team said.

Shepherd fielded a car for driver Landon Cassill in several Xfinity Series races this year and plans to return as a car owner for the 2021 season.
Morgan competed in 517 NASCAR Cup Series races run over a span of 29 years, picking up four wins through his final race in 2014.
