Paul Lyons is a former NASCAR driver from Winston-Salem, NC. He competed in two Nextel Cup Series events in his career. Lyons' debut came in 1961, when he raced at his home track of Bowman-Gray Stadium. Starting last (23rd) in the field, that's right where Lyons would finish after he was flagged just four laps in. Lyons' other race came in 1962, when he returned to Bowman-Gray. Starting 19th in the field of twenty-four, Lyons matched his previous effort by finishing 23rd after falling out nine laps in.
