Dale Inman (born August 19, 1936 in Level Cross, North Carolina) is a retired NASCAR Grand National/Winston Cup Series crew chief from Level Cross, Randolph County, North Carolina. He is best known for being the crew chief of Richard Petty at Petty Enterprises during three decades.[1] They won 188 races[2] and seven championships together (1964, 1967, 1971, 1972, 1974, 1975, and 1979).[3] Inman spent most of his career working for Petty Enterprises. He also was the crew chief for Terry Labonte's 1984 championship with Hagan Racing.[3] NASCAR.com contributor Rick Houston said that if the best crew chief was "settled on statistics and statistics alone, Dale Inman is the greatest crew chief of all time."[1] He is credited for starting the main duties of the position, including preparation, and driver-pit communication. Inman has the most victories as a NASCAR crew chief at 193, 188 of which were with Richard Petty.[4] Inman won five additional races from 1982 to 1984 with Tim Richmond and Terry Labonte.
