When Stump graduated, he came to teach at Shepherd because he liked the quiet, small-town atmosphere. Stump said that Corso helped him to realize the box he was in and helped him get out of it. Stump said that a professor named Joe Corso inspired him to not only become a political science major but that Corso showed him that everybody’s beliefs are limited-that we are kind of stuck in a box. Stump originally wanted to go to law school to become a lawyer after he graduated from college, but he said that he saw the life of a lawyer compared to the life of his professors, and he decided that being a lawyer was not what he wanted to do with his life. “The most exciting thing about the Army is that I got to do and see things that many people never do,” said Stump.Īfter enjoying a little over three years in the Army, Stump decided that it was time to move on to new things. “An Airborne Combat Engineer,” he said, “is someone who uses machines and explosives to make obstacles appear or disappear.”ĭuring his time with the Army, he jumped out of an airplane 27 times and traveled to the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Panama. In the Army, Stump was an Airborne Combat Engineer. after graduating high school, he joined the U.S. Stump grew up in a small town in Konnarock, Va.

Cruz Pedregon would be third with 12, and Kenny Bernstein would be fourth with 11. 1 qualifier, and Schumacher's 17 are second-most. Among the leaders, W.J.’s 21 losses are the most for any No. Now that we have all of that, let’s summarize and answer the question.
STUMP THE SHEPHERD PRO
And, for his entire Pro Stock career, his average starting spot at national events was 2.8. 1 at 21 of them (28.3%) and he never - yes I said never - lost in the first round as the No. Sure, he only ran 74 Pro Stock races, but he qualified No. For his part, Glidden had 102 top spots (third-most in Pro Stock), and he had a 94–8 record (92%).Īnd one last note, if I may (of course I may…it’s my column!!), I have to mention Lee Shepherd. Anderson is second best in the class with 110 No. Those are the leaders, but let’s add to that list with some other notables like Greg Anderson and Bob Glidden, for example. Eddie Krawiec is second in the bike class with his 48 pole positions, and he is a dazzling 46-2, which is an amazing 96% win ratio. 1 spots and a 46-6 record in Round 1 (88%). On two wheels, Angelle Sampey is the leader with 52 No. So, at 117–21, he had about an 85% success rate. 1 spots, and “the Professor” converted 117 of those into opening-round wins. In the Pro Stock ranks, Warren Johnson set the pace with 138 No. That computes to about 94%, which is very good. In Funny Car, it’s no surprise that John Force leads the way with 161 top spots, and “the Champ” is a lofty 151–10 in Round 1 after qualifying No.

“The Sarge” then went on to post a record of 71–17 in Round 1, which is about 81%. In Top Fuel, Tony Schumacher has the most No. 1 qualifier is expected to win Round 1 (and many more) at every national event, and while that is often true, there are exceptions to the rule.
