  • Bruce Worrell is a former NASCAR driver from Lakewood, CA. He competed in twelve Sprint Cup Series events in his career, earning five top-tens. Worrell's debut came in 1960, when he competed at Phoenix. Worrell was immediately impressive, completing all but nine laps in the race to finish 7th. He quickly proved it was no fluke, following the Phoenix run up with a 13th at Hanford and a 9th place run at Sacramento. Worrell's next four races would come during 1961, his busiest year on the circuit. It started off a bit rough, with rear end gear failure leaving Worrell 27th at Hanford. But Worrell quickly recovered. He went into Riverside to record a 9th place finish in his next start. After that, Worrell captured a career-best 6th place run at Ascot and an 11th place showing at Sacramento. Despite his successes, Worrell didn't return until a one-off appearance during the 1963 season, competing at Riverside once again. It was not a warm return for the driver, as engine issues after just one lap parked Worrell in last place (41st). Worrell's lone 1964 start would also come at Riverside, though it went much better for the driver this go round. Despite falling a number of laps down in the race, Worrell survived a large amount of attrition and emerged with a 16th place showing. Worrell was hoping to replicate that success in his return to Riverside in early 1965, but once again found very early mechanical woes. This time, Worrell lasted just one lap before his transmission broke, leaving Worrell 41st among the forty-two cars. Worrell's lone Riverside start during the 1966 didn't go so well, either. Worrell managed to last just fifteen laps in the race before falling out with a blown engine and falling out to a 37th place finish. Yet, through all of his struggles in the late 1960s, Worrell managed to find some dignity in his final career start, coming 1967 back at Riverside. Starting 29th in the field of forty-four, Worrell completed all but eleven laps in the race and matched his previous career-best finish with a 6th place run. Also, Worrell used the finish to earn a career-high 56th place finish in points.
