This record will never be broken, as Nascar rules require a minimum age of 18 years to start (this rule was introduced at the start of the 2002 season).

Answer: Todd Bodine

This feat happened on September 21, 2003 at Dover Speedway. Ryan Newman also received a Lucky Dog pass later on in the same race, and went on to win the race.

The Lucky Dog pass happens when there's a caution -- the first driver who's a lap down automatically gets his lap back (he's allowed to go arund the track and be at the rear of the field on the lead lap). It was introduced by Nascar in 2003 for some races and, by 2006, was used for all Nascar races.
