🏳️ Mark Thompson

Mark Thompson is an American former stock car driver whose background also includes work as a pilot and businessman. He is best known for competing part-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, where he drove the No. 66 Ford Fusion for MBM Motorsports, and for part-time appearances in the NASCAR Xfinity Series behind the wheel of the No. 13 car for the same team. Thompson holds the distinction of being the oldest driver to compete in the Daytona 500, a notable marker in a career built around limited but persistent participation at NASCAR's top levels.[1]

Across his NASCAR Cup Series career, Thompson made two starts without recording a win or a podium finish, a body of work reflected in a Racer Rating of 3,072, placing him 998th among active drivers on the database's Elo-style scale. In the 2026 season, his most recent campaign on record, he competed in two rounds without a win or podium, finishing 39th in the standings. Now retired from competition, Thompson's record stands as that of a veteran part-time competitor whose presence in the sport was defined more by longevity and the historic nature of his Daytona 500 participation than by statistical success.[2]
