BIOGRAPHY
Nelson Applegate (December 8, 1925 - ) is a former NASCAR driver from Danville, NJ. He competed in five Sprint Cup Series events in his career, earning one top-ten.

Applegate debuted in 1951, competing at Pittsburgh. Starting positions in the field of forty-two are unknown due to poor records, but Applegate had a solid race and drove to a 12th place finish. He slipped a bit in his next start, falling to 34th at Morristown before ending his season with a solid 13th place run at Langhorne.

Applegate's other two races came in 1952 and came out strong. He started 14th and drove a solid race at Morristown, falling just a few laps down and winding up with a career-best 7th place run. Unfortunately, Applegate couldn't end his career quite so well, finishing 35th at Langhorne after a crash.
