Gus Wasson

Gus Wasson (born March 28, 1974 in Bloomdale, Ohio) is a former NASCAR driver. Gus is the son of Paul and Kathy Wasson. He competed part-time in NASCAR's Busch Series from 1998-2004.

Busch Series Career

Wasson made his Busch Series debut in 1998, making a one-off start at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the #49 Hoiles Motorsports Chevy. Wasson qualified 17th and despite spinning out early on the 73rd lap, he stayed in that vicinity for the entire race, and he ended the race with an 18th-place finish.

Wasson qualified for five races in 1999. Running the #49 car again, Wasson went out again at Atlanta and did in his season debut as he had in his series debut: finish a solid 18th. Wasson made one other run with the team in 1999, this time coming at Lowe's, where Wasson slid a little to a 25th-place finish. However, the team folded without sponsorship and Wasson moved to the #96 Island Oasis Chevy the other three races. Wasson struggled to find chemistry with this team, only managing a best finish of 31st at Charlotte.

Wasson

Wasson (c. 1730 – c. 1790s) was an Ojibwa chief during the siege of Fort Detroit in Pontiac's War.

Wasson led around 200 warriors, who joined Pontiac's forces on May 31, 1763, remaining as part of the siege until it was abandoned in the autumn. On July 4, 1763, Wasson killed captive Captain Donald Campbell, in revenge for the death of his nephew.

From the following year until at least 1776, Wasson participated in a series of peace conferences, and was the primary native speaker at John Bradstreet's peace conference in September 1764. An Ojibwa chief of the same name was also involved in negotiations over land in 1790, but it is not certain whether this was the same person.
