- Jim Tatum is a former NASCAR driver from Jacksonville, FL. He competed in five Nextel Cup Series events in his career. Tatum's debut came in 1965, when he competed at Moyock. Starting 23rd in the field of twenty-five, Tatum completed just a third of the race before differential issues left him 19th. Tatum's final four races came in the 1966 season and it proved to be a mixed bag for Tatum. It started off well enough, as Tatum drove his way to a 17th place finish at Columbia and then a career-best 12th place showing at Greenville. But issues left Tatum with DNFs in his final two races, including a 29th in his final career race - Richmond.
