Eddie Pettyjohn, from Milton, DE, is a former NASCAR driver. In his brief career, Pettyjohn competed in four Nextel Cup Series races. In 1973, Pettyjohn debuted at Dover, qualifying 29th. It didn't begin well for Pettyjohn, as a crash left him in last place-40th on the field. Luckily, Pettyjohn was able to atone for that when he returned to Dover in the fall. He started the race in 14th and slowly made his way up to tenth place-his only career top-10, despite being twenty-one laps down.
