Bernard Alvarez is a retired NASCAR Grand National Series race car driver whose career spanned from 1964 to 1965.[1]
His career was rather short; with no wins or top ten finishes resulting from it.[1] However, Alvarez managed to finish an average of 25th place after starting an average of 19th.[1] His 133.6 miles (215.0 km) of racing would earn him $1,250 ($8,701.06 in today's money) - not a bad salary in the mid 1960s.[1] All of his races ended him mechanical failure[1] and he would become a driver/owner in 1964.
