How many multi-generation racing families are there in NASCAR?

The Earnhardts and the Pettys are three and four generation NASCAR racers and there are a number of two generation families like the Marlins and Allisons. Do we count the Foyts as three or two since A.J. III was not a racer but his brother Larry was?

How many can we come up with?

    Earnhardts, Pettys, Jarrets, Marlins, Allisons, Andrettis, Foyts, Wallaces, (Rusty's son is just starting). Then you have to keep in mind all of the families, Burton, Wallace, Waltrip, Bush, Labonte, etc.

    Also Foyts count regardless because there are still generations represented.

    My dad got me into cars, I rebuilt my first engine at 14 and 15 from paper route money. When I turned 16 I had a 396 1968 chevelle SS that I bought for $250.00. Fastest car in the school. Now my son is into cars and NASCAR. I picked out a Lincoln Mark VIII for him with the cobra motor. Needed a trans and I got it for a $1000. Its full bodied and has some cahones. He loves it, but its nicer than his Moms. (X-wife)

    Oh you mean racers not fans, MYBAD. Should have read the small print.

    Started watching in 1972

    Looking for my next X. LOL
