Hubert Westmoreland (January 28, 1915 – October 26, 2006) was a mechanic that became a car owner in the beginning of NASCAR.
In the 1949 NASCAR Strictly Stock Series inaugural race, Westmoreland was the owner of the car driven by Glenn Dunaway.
Dunaway was the initial winner but he was disqualified when it was found that the rear springs had been spread by Westmoreland, a noted bootlegger who had knowledge of improving handling that way.
[1] His most notable victory was by Johnny Mantz, who drove his Plymouth to victory in the inaugural Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina.
A few of the other drivers that drove his cars were: Curtis Turner (whom Westmoreland claimed was the best stock car driver he ever saw), Tim Flock, Bill Holland, Jack Smith, Frankie Schneider, and Herb Thomas.
