Cecil Gordon (1941–2012) was a NASCAR driver and later car owner from North Carolina. He competed in the Cup Series from 1968 to 1985, first as an independent driver and then fielding cars for others — a working racer's career that spanned the sport's growth years. Gordon was cremated, so no cemetery marks his resting place.
