Bill Champion (October 16, 1921 – May 20, 1991) was an American stock car racing driver who competed in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series from 1951 to 1976.
He was the uncle of Ricky Rudd; a retired NASCAR Cup Series driver.
Champion managed to drive 55,262.2 miles or 88,935.9 kilometres in his professional stock car racing career; starting and finishing an average of 20th place.
[1] During the 1955 Southern 500, he managed to avoid Duckworth by swerving past his vehicle in a rapid manner.
However, Champion was not a good performer on restrictor-plate tracks where he averaged a meager finish of 25th place.
