Joseph Eubanks (August 9, 1925 – June 21, 1971) was an American NASCAR Grand National driver from Spartanburg, South Carolina. He entered the United States Armed Forces along with fellow NASCAR veterans Bud Moore and Cotton Owens. All three of these men served in World War II together. Joe was a competitor for the 1955 Southern 500 and was credited for having the fastest Oldsmobile 88 vehicle of that particular race. Dirt tracks were Eubanks' greatest strong point as a driver; where a "top-ten" finish were frequent. Superspeedway tracks turned out to be his weakness as his average finish on those tracks was 38th place.
Eubanks' primary vehicle was the #88 Ford machine owned by Don Every and Domenic Petti of Daytona Florida. He was also one of the extras for the 1960 stock car racing film Thunder in Carolina.
