| abstract | - Bob Apperson is a former NASCAR driver from Charlottesville, VA. He competed in eleven Sprint Cup Series events in his career. Apperson's debut came in 1949, when he competed at Hillsboro. Starting positions in all of his races that year are unknown, but Apperson had a nice effort that left him 13th. In fact, Apperson ran well in two other starts that year, finishing 15th at Hamburg and a career-best 11th place at North Wilkesboro. His 43rd in points was his best career showing as well. Apperson stepped it up to a seven-race schedule to the 1950 season, again recording some respectable results. He finished in the top-thirteen three times, matching his career-best finish with an 11th place run at Langhorne. But Apperson also began to struggle with DNFs, finishing 25th or worse in the other four starts. This included a 61st place run at Darlington in the inaugural event there. Apperson's final career race came in 1952, when he returned to Daytona Beach. Starting positions in the field of sixty-one are unknown, but Apperson had a so-so day in route to finishing 36th.
