Nelson Stacy, born December 28, 1921 is a former NASCAR driver from Cincinnati, OH. He competed in forty-five Sprint Cup Series events in his career prior to his death on May 14, 1986.
Although Stacy never ran for a championship, he made his presence be known often. After making one start in 1952, Stacy returned to NASCAR action in 1961, when he recorded eight top-ten finishes. That including winning his first career race in the Southern 500 at Darlington Speedway.
The very next year (1962) he was even better. He earned an astounding three races in fifteen starts, recording victories at Darlington, Charlotte and Martinsville. In addition, Stacy had four more top-ten finishes.
However, following the years of 1961 and 1962, Stacy's career began to die out. He finished with 9 top-tens in twelve starts and a career-best 14th place in points in the 1963 season but failed to crack the winner's circle.
He would compete in one race apiece in 1964 and 1965, retiring after a 24th place finish in the 1965 Firecracker 400.
