Ron Eaton (August 11, 1943 - ) is a former NASCAR Northwest Series driver and champion from Tacoma, WA. He was the 1986, 1988, and 1995 champion of that tour, finishing second in championships and career wins (41) to all-time series legend Garrett Evans. Unlike Evans, however, Eaton had a rich NASCAR heritage dating back to the mid-1970s, when he began a NASCAR Winston West Series career that led to some 11 victories. To further cement his dominance as a West Coast racing legend himself, Eaton also tallied on one Southwest Series victory, capturing the trophy at Tuscon Raceway Park in 1996.
