Jimmy Foster (NASCAR Driver)
Jimmy Foster (born March 1, 1977, in Ormond Beach, Florida) is a former NASCAR driver. He was a part-time driver on the Busch Series from 1997 to 1999. Before competing in the Busch Series, Foster was an avid competitor at Florida tracks, winning more than 200 races by the age of 15.
