Bill Shirey (born February 28, 1932) is a retired NASCAR Winston Cup Series driver.
Shirey accomplished three finishes in the "top ten" (1970 Richmond 500, 1971 Asheville 300, and 1971 Kingsport 300) and has driven for 9588 laps - the equivalent of 7,398.2 miles (11,906.2 km).
[1] Shirey attempted to qualify for the 1971 Daytona 500 and the 1972 Miller High Life 500 but failed.
Compared to his meager career earnings, today's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stars are generally considered to be multimillionaires after their first full-time schedule.
[1] Shirey was a driver/owner for most of the races with occasional employment under former NASCAR owners Dub Clewis, John Keselowski, and David Ray Boggs.
