13-year-old NASCAR prospect
Posted: Thursday May 08, 2008 06:59AM ET
Logan Ruffin turns 14 in July -- two years away from getting his driver's license and four years from becoming eligible to drive in NASCAR's top three series. But the Brentwood (Tenn.) teenager is already turning heads on racing Web sites as one of the top young NASCAR prospects in the nation. Various NASCAR teams saw Ruffin became the youngest champion in the World Series of Asphalt's 42-year history in February. Ruffin won three Crate Late Model races in the event held in New Smyrna Beach, Fla., during Daytona's SpeedWeeks.

Even if it is still an impressive career right? And to go out as the only active driver with that many championships, that many wins, the hottest wife on the circuit and a quadrillion dollars? Sad right? NOT!!
