Diskussion:Stan Barrett (Rennfahrer)
- http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/3836172 Stanton Barrett is the son of U.S. Olympic skier Penny McCoy and Stan Barrett, a bona fide Hollywood legend. Stan started slamming into stuff at a high rate of speed during the late 1960's. He owns a resume spanning four decades, from the original Star Trek television series to Smokey and the Bandit. His time behind the wheel of Burt Reynolds' famous black Trans Am led to the unlikeliest of moonlighting gigs — a Winston Cup ride in a car owned by Reynolds and Smokey director Hal Needham.
The elder Barrett made 14 Cup starts between 1980 and '82. He picked up two top-10 finishes, led four laps and in his spare time took a couple of shots at the land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Reynolds and Needham went on to fame and fortune in Cup racing thanks to driver Harry Gant. Barrett headed back to Hollywood.

[1] "Stanton Barrett comes from an extraordinary line of professional athletes. Barrett's grandfather, Dave McCoy, served as a coach for the United States Ski Team and founded Mammoth Mountain, the largest ski resort in North America. Throughout the 60's, Barrett's mother, Penny McCoy, was an Olympic and U.S. Ski Team member. At the age of 15, Penny became the youngest woman in the world to win a World Cup medal when she skied for the U.S. World Cup Ski Team. Barrett's father, Stan Barrett, was an accomplished Winston Cup driver in the early 1980's. He drove for such notables as Rick Hendrick and Junie Dunlavey, as well as the original Skoal Bandit racing team, owned by Burt Reynolds, Hal Needham, and Paul Newman (Stanton's Godfather)." -- Kyber 20:01, 13.
