His nicknames were "Ironhead, "The Intimidator", "Man In Black" and "Mr. Restrictor Plate".
Richard Petty won the most races in one season with 27 in 1967.
About 650 to 700hp unrestricted and roughly 450 with a restrictor plate.
Bobby Allison in 1987.
Judging by the difference in restrictor plate size (smaller by 1/16" for Toyota for the Nationwide cars at Daytona this year, IIRC) and the performance seen on the track, I'd guess the Toyota's have about a 15-20 HP advantage over the non-R07 Chevy SB2 Nationwide NASCAR engines. The restrictor plate costs about 10 HP, yet the Toyota's were able to pass SB2 powered cars that use a larger restrictor plate. The Chevy Nationwide R07 is on a par with the Toyota Nationwide NASCAR engine in HP. The Chevy Nationwide R07 uses a restrictor plate the same size as the Nationwide Toyota. Whether this all will hold true with the Sprint Cup cars remains to be seen.
When the cars start hitting 200 mph., NASCAR slows them down with restrictor plates. Above about 200, bad things happen, like cars crash, and go over fences and hurt spectators.
In 1990 Bill Elliott won the pole at Talladega at 199.388 MPH - NASCAR mandated smaller restrictor plates after that. In the draft Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski hit trap speeds of 205 MPH in 2009.

Yes, they can. The only exception is Daytona and Talladega. It's perfectly legal for a Nascar driver to pass on or go below the white line and gain a position at all racing venues, excluding restrictor plate tracks.At Daytona and Talladega there are double yellow lines, which is considered out of bounds. Drivers who go below the line at these two tracks can be penalized.
