William Gerald Standridge (November 27, 1953 – April 12, 2014) was an American stock car racing driver.
Standridge began running the NASCAR Busch Series in 1986, when he finished 14th at the All Pro 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in his own Pontiac.
In 1994, he began running a limited schedule in Winston Cup, making his debut at North Carolina Speedway but finishing 42nd after a crash.
After an unsuccessful stint with Triad Motorsports in 1996 and 1997 (he was released after New Hampshire's summer race in 1997),[2] Standridge began running his own team, the #47 Ford Thunderbird, picking up sponsorship from Jayski[3] and also from fan-sponsored donations.
Standridge was one of the last drivers to run in NASCAR using a Thunderbird after other teams switched to the redesigned Taurus for the 1998 season.
