Thomas Peck (born April 4, 1953) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He is a former competitor in the NASCAR Busch Series. He is the uncle of current driver Todd Peck.

Career Born in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania, Peck drove the No. 89 Pontiac in two races in 1984 in the Busch Grand National Series, but failed to finish either race. In 1988, he ran the No. 96 Thomas Chevy sponsored Olds in six races with a best finish of ninth at Dover.

The next year, Peck piloted the No. 96 again in 28 races and posted seven top-tens and was tenth in points. In 1990, he made 31 starts and had 12 top tens and finished a career best fifth in the points. The next year, he got one more top-ten but fell in the points to ninth. In 1992, he switched to the No. 19 Levin Racing Olds with seven top-tens.

After the third race of the 1993 season, Peck was third in the point standings with S-K Hand Tools and Delco Remy sponsoring the No. 19 car. A series of accidents mid-season ended any hopes he had of a top-five points finish. Peck would end the 1993 season with his second consecutive 13th-place points finish. In 1994, he got hired to drive No. 31 Channellock Chevy which Steve Grissom won the championship with the previous year. This was the dream ride Peck had been waiting for and set his sights on winning the 1994 Busch Series Championship. This opportunity only lasted a couple months as before the race at Rougemont Peck was released from his ride. The next year he made his final three career starts in the No. 18 Ford and No. 67 Chevy.

Peck's final appearance in the Busch Series was at Nazareth Speedway in 1996, where he qualified the No. 64 Chevrolet for Shoemaker Racing's regular driver, Dick Trickle, Trickle being at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the 1996 Winston Select. He qualified the car 29th, and was replaced by Trickle for the race; Peck has not competed in NASCAR competition since.
