No he didn't. Joe Ruttman was the first to use the tactic when he showed up at Rockingham with no pit crew and NASCAR parked the car.Really ???? In 2008 the infamous Juan Pablo led NASCAR with 9 DNFs. The following year, no talent Joe had 27. He followed that impressive number by having 30,35 and 29 DNFs the next 3 years. So yes, he invented "start n park" and continued to disgrace himself in the years after.
