FLORENCE, S.C. (WBTW) — NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough has died at 84 after a long illness.

Yarborough died early Sunday morning at McLeod Hospice in Florence, South Carolina, according to his family.

NASCAR Chairman and CEO Jim France released a statement following Yarborough’s death:


“Cale Yarborough was one of the toughest competitors NASCAR has ever seen. His combination of talent, grit and determination separated Cale from his peers, both on the track and in the record book. He was respected and admired by competitors and fans alike and was as comfortable behind the wheel of a tractor as he was behind the wheel of a stock car. On behalf of the France family and NASCAR, I offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Cale Yarborough.”
