James Roy "Jim" Paschal, Jr. (December 5, 1926 – July 5, 2004) was a NASCAR Grand National and Winston Cup driver.[1]

Career summary

Paschal won twenty-five races and twelve poles over his career.[1] Elected to the "Stock Car Racing Hall of Fame" in 1977, he won the World 600 in 1964 and the 1967 Charlotte Motor Speedway. He competed in the first 18 Southern 500's 1950–1967 and won 16 of 73 Grand American races 1969–1972.

His strongest racing was found on short tracks where he would finish an average of 11th place. Paschal would find his weakness on road courses; where the sharp corners and the right turns would cause him to finish in an agonizing 27th place on average.[2]

After retiring from racing, he owned a trucking company and farmed (cattle and poultry).
