Earl Ross (born September 4, 1941 in Ailsa Craig, Ontario, Canada, died September 18, 2014) was a Canadian race car driver who competed from 1973 to 1976. He is known for being the only non-American driver to have won a NASCAR Winston Cup race.
Ross' only win came at Martinsville Speedway on September 29, 1974, during the Old Dominion 500. After qualifying 11th, Ross beat Buddy Baker to the line by more than a lap, thus making him the first and still the only Canadian to have ever won a Winston Cup event. Ron Fellows, however, has wins in the Busch and Truck series.
The victory helped Ross win the Winston Cup Rookie of the Year in 1974. After competing in only 2 events in '75 and '76, Ross retired from NASCAR racing. He recorded 1 win, 5 top-5's and 10 top 10's in 26 races.
Ross competed in a number of smaller racing series throughout the 1980s and 1990s, including time on the CASCAR Super Series. He also participated in regular Friday night racing at Delaware Speedway before his ultimate retirement in the late 1990s.
