In 1990, Democrat Bruce Sundlin beat incumbent Republican Governor Ed DuPrete with 74% of the vote.  That has got to be a record for a challenger.

That's definitely a top competitor, but there have to be other challengers who beat incumbents with one foot in the jail cell already.

Not by those kind of margins.  Even Bob Riley barely beat Don Siegelman in Alabama in 2002.
