| Eddie Bradshaw (July 15, 1934 - ) is a former NASCAR driver from Bakersfield, CA. He competed in seven Sprint Cup Series events in his career, earning two top-tens.
Bradshaw's debut came during the 1974 season, when he competed at Riverside. Bradshaw left a quick, positive impression on the NASCAR community, methodically driving from his 34th starting position to a solid 9th place finish.
Unfortunately, Bradshaw could not repeat the feat when he returned to Riverside in 1975. Starting 34th again, Bradshaw only got as far as 25th before his radiator hose gave out.
Bradshaw rebounded nicely in the 1976 season, when he wound up competing in both Riverside events. Both were solid outings for the driver, as he completed 78% of the laps in route to an 18th place finish in the January event and a 15th place finish in the June event.
Bradshaw elected to run two events again in the 1977 season, receiving mixed results. He ran well enough in the January Riversdie event, completing all but five laps to crack the top-ten with a 10th place showing. Unfortunately, that did not carry over to Ontario, when engine issues left Bradshaw 37th in his only career start there.
Bradshaw' final career race came during the 1978 season, when he not surprisingly competed at Riverside once more. Starting 33rd in the field, 33rd is where Bradshaw would finish following a broken drive shaft early in the race.
