Bobby Myers (June 27, 1927 - September 2, 1957) was a NASCAR driver from Winston-Salem, NC. He competed in fifteen Nextel Cup Series events in his career, racing part-time between 1951 and 1957. Though his part-time schedule prevented him from placing high in points, Myers earned three top-tens in his career (20% of starts). His best effort was a 7th at Wilson in 1956. In 1957, Myers was driving a solid race for Petty Enterprises in the Southern 500 at Darlington. Starting 2nd, Myers even led his first career lap. But tragedy struck, as Myers was killed in an early race accident and thus ending the career of a promising driver.
