Johnny Beauchamp (March 13, 1923 - April 17, 1981) was a NASCAR driver from Harlan, IA. He competed in just twenty-three Monster Energy Cup Series events in his career, but still managed to win two events and earn ten top-tens. His two victories were at Atlanta (1959) and Nashville (1960). He was also originally declared the winner in the first Daytona 500, but Lee Petty was later given the victory after a photo finish revealed Petty was in front. Beauchamp also managed a best points effort of 11th in 1960. He died of a heart attack(?) at the age of 58.
