| Al Brand (June 15, 1931 - ) is a former NASCAR driver from Inglewood, CA. He competed in five Sprint Cup Series events in his career.
Brand's debut came in 1961, when he finished a career-high 111th in points. It was a rough first race for the driver, blowing a piston early at Hanford and finishing in 35th. However, he fared quite a bit better as the season wore on, recording finishes of 17th at Riverside and a career-best 12th place run at Ascot.
Brand's next start did not come until the 1963 season, when he competed at Riverside once again. Yet this time, his engine quickly died from all the twists and turns of the track, leaving Brand 40th among the forty-one cars.
Brand fared no better when he returned to Riverside for his final career race, coming during the 1964 season. Starting 26th in the field, Brand had a wheel let go just seven laps into the race and wound up finishing last (44th).
