Tim Steele

Timothy Steele (March 1, 1968 – January 7, 2024) was an American stock car racing driver. He won three ARCA Re/Max Series national championships and raced in NASCAR's highest three series. He was inducted in the Michigan Motor Sports Hall of Fame in 2009. It was a very successful year. He went on to win the Championship that year and earned the Rookie of the Year award. He went on to continue winning races, also winning the championship in 1996 and 1997. Steele won twelve times in 1997, the most wins in the series since 1973. However, the accident also caused brain injuries, and doctors told him he could not handle another trauma. Finally in June 1998, Steele made his comeback to the ARCA series at Pocono; he won the race and went on to race in five more races that year winning three of them.

In 2000, Steele made a full-time comeback to the series. He won three races and accumulated fourteen top-ten finishes and finished third in the final points standings. In 2001, Steele won four races and finished ninth in the final points standings.

The next five years were not as successful as Steele only competed in sixteen races and earned only three top-five finishes. Steele's 24 victories is ARCA's all-time Superspeedway winner, including nine at Pocono Raceway. He recorded 86 top-five finishes, 101 top-tens and led 5,423 laps.
