__NOTOC__ Steve Seligman (born October 27, 1954) is an American stock car racing driver. A native of Lake Forest, Illinois, Seligman raced in the ARCA, ARTGO and ASA series during the 1980s. Starting in 1989, Seligman moved to the NASCAR Winston Cup Series; he attempted to qualify for thirteen races between 1989 and 1996, but never successfully qualified for a race in NASCAR's top series. Seligman did compete in the 1996 Winston Open, the qualifying event for NASCAR's all-star race; he started 34th of 36 cars that qualified, and finished 27th.
In February 1997, a police raid found cocaine in significant quantities at Seligman's race shop. He was arrested and suspended by NASCAR; he was found guilty and sentenced to 27 years in prison. Since his release, he has returned to racing in the Midwest.
