| rdfs:comment | - Dick Simon (September 21, 1933 - ) is a former NASCAR driver from Seattle, WA. He competed in three Sprint Cup Series events in his career, earning one top-ten. Simon's first race came in 1973, when Simon debuted at Talladega. Simon started 52nd in the field of sixty, but on a day when tire woes affected the top competitors, Simon drove a smart race and managed to scrape together an impressive 7th place finish. Simon, though, couldn't duplicate that success later in the year at Daytona, finishing 35th after crash damage.

On the bright spot, Simon did make the prestigious Daytona 500, but midrace engine failure left Simon with a hoo-hum 31st place finish.
