Jackie Rogers (born May 6, 1943 in Wilmington, North Carolina, USA) is a retired NASCAR Winston Cup Series (now Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series) driver who has led only six out of the 4943 laps that he raced in his entire career. Rogers earned $64,582 ($271,810.91 when adjusted for inflation) and drove for 12,297.6 miles (19,791.1 km) finishing an average of 21st place.
Rogers would benefit greatly from participating in the flat tracks; finishing an average of 16th place throughout his career. However, he would suffer from terrible performances on tri-oval intermediate tracks where a 24th-place finish was usually in the cards.
