Ted Musgrave

Theodore "Ted" Musgrave (born December 18, 1955 in Waukegan, Illinois) is a retired American race car driver.

Pre-NASCAR

Musgrave's father, Elmer, was a famous short-track racer in the Midwest who raced for over 25 years at Soldier Field, O'Hare, Waukegan, and Wilmot, Wisconsin before moving into asphalt late models in the American Speed Association (ASA) and ARCA. "I was really young at the time," Musgrave said. "But I can still remember sitting in the infield at Milwaukee and watching him race against drivers like Paul Goldsmith. He finally retired so he could help my older brother, Tom, and I get started." He began racing in 1977 at age 18 at Waukegan in a 1967 Ford Galaxy that he inherited from his brother. He immediately rebuilt the car into a 1967 Ford Torino and won the track's Rookie of the Year title. He and his father built a Ford Mustang using some tips from Dick Trickle to race the next season.

Famous quotes by Ted Musgrave:

"We've had some solid races in the past few weeks,"

"At Loudon, things can go one way or the other. It's very difficult to pass, and track position means a lot. Pit strategy means a lot too. We're going to concentrate on being as consistent as possible throughout the race. At a track like this, you want to work to make sure you come out with the best finish possible, which will help the team at least maintain their current position in the point standings and possibly pick up some more points as well."

"Dennis and I and Crawford had a heck of a race,"

"With six races to go, things can happen. If we stay right there and gain a little here and there, we'll be OK."

"Wow I passed a lot of trucks. It's tough to pass, but it's exciting to make some passes here too. From my windshield I saw a lot of exciting stuff going on and from my mirror I saw some exciting stuff going on. I don't know if it was just me, but it was one heck of a race going on out here."

"Dennis and I and Crawford had a heck of a race. One minute, I thought Dennis was going to win. Then I thought Crawford was going to win. Then I thought maybe I could win it. It was fun."

"Our truck was decent, but it wasn't anything like his. He won the race. I could not accelerate off the corner like he could."

"We opted to put on tires. My call, just to make sure we got no flats or anything happened. Good day for us in points, but the season ain't over yet."

"Put everything on the table, winner take all."

"All I saw was an opportunity to try to pass him but it was the white-flag lap and if I had passed him it wouldn't have mattered because of the caution freezing the field,"
