Steve Seligman is a former American stock car racing driver. A native of Lake Forest, Illinois,[1] Seligman raced in the ARCA, ARTGO and ASA series during the 1980s.[2] Starting in 1989, Seligman moved to the NASCAR Winston Cup Series; he attempted to qualify for 13 races between 1989 and 1996, but never successfully qualified for a race in NASCAR's top series.[3] Seligman did compete in the 1996 Winston Open, the qualifying event for NASCAR's all-star race; he started 34th of 36 cars that qualified,[4] and finished 27th.[5]

In February 1997, a police raid found cocaine in significant quantities at Seligman's race shop.[6] He was arrested and suspended by NASCAR; he was found guilty and sentenced to 27 years in prison.[1]
