Hershel McGriff became the oldest person ever to compete in a NASCAR Series race (breaking his own record) on May 6, 2018, when he drove in a K&N Pro Series West event at Tucson Speedway at the age of 90. Once again driving for Bill McAnally, Hershel competed in the 100-lap race, driving a Toyota Camry sponsored by South Point Hotel and Casino. It was a real family affair that day as McGriff's son Hershel Jr., and his granddaughter Mariah were there, both driving in races of their own. Hershel performed the national anthem on his trombone, which, as he would later state, was the only thing he was nervous about that day.
"I've had a great life. I wouldn't backtrack for anything," McGriff told the Tucson Star. "I have family that's with me and behind me, so it's great."
