| Jerry Benjamin is a former NASCAR driver from Rising Sun, MD. He competed in five Sprint Cup Series events in his brief career.
Benjamin's debut came in 1955, when he competed at Langhorne. Starting 20th in the field of forty-two, Benjamin had early overheating issues in the event and finished a disappointing 33rd as a result.
Benjamin didn't return to action until 1957, this season competing in three events. The first two came at New Oxford. Starting 18th in the field, Benjamin had right front hub issues early in the event but his 24th place finish in the race turned out to be his career best. His results were not aided by a DNF later again at New Oxford (29th) and then later in the year at Langhorne (39th).
Benjamin's final race came in 1958, returning once again to the New Oxford facility. It was another tough race, starting last (31st) and falling victim to an early piston issue (he failed to finish all five of his races) that left him 29th in the final rundown.
