Don Waterman is a retired NASCAR Winston Cup Series race car driver whose career spanned from 1980 to 1983.[1]
The primary vehicle for Waterman was the self-owned #38 St. John's Auto Parts Buick.[2]
Only three races were spent inside an Oldsmobile machine.[3] His only "top ten" finish came at the January running of the 1981 Winston Western 500.[1] This driver has led only two laps out of 896 - the equivalent to 2352.2miles.[1] After starting an average of 26th place and finishing an average of 20th, Waterman has earned a total career savings of $19,285 ($ when adjusted for inflation).[1] DNFs made up about 44% of Waterman's career.[3] He raced in eight road courses and only one intermediate oval track.[3]
Waterman's ultimate retirement from motorsports came on June 30, 1991, at a NASCAR Winston West Series race at Portland Speedway titled the 1991 Winston 200.[4] He improved on his 11th-place start with a seventh-place finish and received his prize winnings of $1,100 after 198 laps of racing ($ when adjusted for inflation).[4]
