| - Felix Wilkes (May 23, 1915 - March 18, 2000) was a NASCAR driver from Annendale, NJ. He competed in seven Sprint Cup Series events in his career. Wilkes' debut came in 1949, when he competed in the series' inaugural event at Charlotte. It was a struggle, though, for Wilkes, finishing 27th after overheating issues. The rest of the year wasn't any better, crashing to 24th at Hillsboro and then finishing 41st at Langhorne. Wilkes' lone 1950 race came at Vernon. It was once again a struggle for Wilkes, crashing to a last (29th) place finish.

Despite a respectable 23rd place starting spot, Wilkes slid to a dismal 51st place finish in the race. He fared little better at Charlotte, coming home 36th. Wilkes' final race came in 1952, when he competed at Langhorne. It was a fitting end to a dismal career, starting 20th and crashing to a 33rd place finish in the field of forty-four.
