Rick Wilson (born January 31, 1953 in Bartow, Florida) is a former NASCAR Winston Cup driver. He began racing in 1980, and posted 23 top-ten finishes over his career. His most successful reign came from 1986-1989, driving for Morgan-McClure Motorsports, when he was a consistent top-20 driver and won his only pole position at Bristol Motor Speedway. He later drove for RahMoc Enterprises, Stavola Brothers and Petty Enterprises. Wilson was the first driver chosen to replace Richard Petty after Petty's retirement--the car's number temporarily changed to #44 at that time. Wilson has not raced in NASCAR since 1997.
