Tobey Butler is a former NASCAR driver. He finished in the top-10 in points in the inaugural year of the Craftsman Truck Series and then did a limited schedule.

Butler was one of the drivers who participated in the 1994 exhibition races the CTS held in preparation for 1995, the series' first full season. Butler signed to drive #21 Ortho Ford. He had five top-10 finishes in the twenty race schedule, his best finishes being a pair of 4th at Louisville and Portland, and had to a 10th place finish in points.

In 1996, Butler was forced out of the #21 ride and ended up doing a six-race schedule for Ken Schrader's #52 team. In his first outing with the team at Evergreen, Butler won his first career pole and went on to finish sixth. In the other five races, he would tack on two more top-10 finishes. A sixth at Phoenix would match the Evergreen run.

Butler moved around in 1997, ending up running for Schrader and the #60 TKO Motorsports team. He struggled in the races for Schrader. In ten starts with that team, he only had one top ten finish: 9th at Portland. This led to his release and the TKO truck. In three races with that team, he managed a pair of twelfth place runs. He has not raced in NASCAR since.
