(AP) \u2014 Ned Jarrett, a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and longtime broadcaster, died Thursday of natural causes in his home, his family announced. He was 93.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=2528\">Sick and sleepless Arnaldi pulls out of French Open semifinal after night of vomiting<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jarrett was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2011 after 50 career wins on the sport\u2019s top circuit, including championships in 1961 and 1965. He was part of the second five-member NASCAR Hall of Fame class.<\/p>\n<p>Jarrett, known as \u201cGentleman Ned\u201d for his demeanor, may have been better known by younger NASCAR fans for his broadcasting career. One of his signature moments in the booth came in the 1993 Daytona 500 when he didn\u2019t try to restrain from rooting as his son, Dale Jarrett, held off Dale Earnhardt for the win.<\/p>\n<p>Dale Jarrett won the Cup Series in 1999. The Jarretts became the second father-son combination to win Cup Series championships, following Lee and Richard Petty. Bill Elliott and his son, Chase, later completed the father-son achievement.<\/p>\n<p>NASCAR CEO Steve O\u2019Donnell said Ned Jarrett was a racing legend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite his calm demeanor, \u2018Gentleman\u2019 Ned Jarrett was as fierce a competitor as NASCAR has ever seen,\u201d O\u2019Donnell said in a statement. \u201cHis on-track accomplishments speak for themselves with wins and championships across several NASCAR divisions.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=2526\">Air quality alert issued in 20+ North Carolina counties; Raleigh area included as ozone levels rise<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it was his off-the-track persona that separated Ned from his peers. He was as kind as his nickname indicated. And his endearing personality helped him excel in his second career as a broadcaster. Ned was an outstanding ambassador for the sport for more than six decades and he will be dearly missed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jarrett\u2019s family described him as \u201ca devout Christian and a devoted, loving family man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was a friend to everyone he met and NASCAR\u2019s oldest living champion,\u201d Jarrett\u2019s family said in a statement. \u201cBy all accounts, he was a true NASCAR legend. While we mourn his passing, we celebrate the remarkable life of an amazing man and truly the best father anyone could have wished for.
