Conrad "Connie" Saylor (June 3, 1940 – February 4, 1993 [1]) was a journeyman NASCAR race car driver.

Career[edit]

Saylor did one-off events in the Winston Cup Series during the 1980s and early 1990s, and also raced in ARCA and late model sportsman series. [2] His most well-known moment came in the 1981 Twin 125s, qualifying races for the Daytona 500, in which he spun off turn two and flipped, sliding down the backstretch on his roof for about 1,000 feet. He was uninjured in the crash, and did not qualify for the race. He won a consolation race at Daytona in 1984.

In Winston Cup racing, he picked up his best finish in his debut race, in 1978, eighth [3].

Personal life[edit]

Connie was married to Shirley Nowlin and had two children, Tracy and Tim Saylor. He started a mining and industrial tire and wheel business in Johnson city, Tennessee, in 1977, which is still in operation by his family.

Saylor was from Johnson City, Tennessee. As verified by his family, he died at the age of 52 from cancer. [4].
