Chuck Wahl (December 20, 1950 - ) is a former NASCAR driver from Burbank, CA. He competed in thirteen Nextel Cup Series events in his career, earning two top-tens.
Wahl's debut came in 1973, when the driver competed at Riverside. Starting 33rd in the field of forty, Wahl completed just seven laps before a disappointing engine failure left him 39th.
But Wahl rebounded nicely at Riverside in summer 1974, starting 18th. He ran well the entire race and was poised for a fantastic finish until running out of gas late. Still, he recorded an 8th place finish. He also had a solid 20th place run at Ontario to round out the year.
Wahl's best year turned out to be 1975, when he recorded one top-ten and finished 56th in points. However, in many ways it was a struggle as Wahl DNFed to a 17th place finish in the first Riverside race of the year and broke a transmission to finish 35th at Ontario. But in the June Riverside race Wahl was again solid, completing all but eight laps to record a career-best 7th place run.
Wahl visited Riverside solely in 1976, competing in both of the track's races that year. In the January event Wahl was impressive, leading three laps before fading to 22nd with a valve issue. He also proved he was still good in the June race, driving to a 13th place run.
The Riverside races were also the only event on Wahl's plate during the 1977 season. He was again much better in the June event, finishing 18th there (just eight laps down) as opposed to his 26th place finish in the earlier January race.
Wahl again had a two-race schedule in 1978, but this time struggled mightily in both of them. An early oil leak ruined his traditional good run at Riverside, leaving him 28th. Then early overheating issues took Wahl out in his return to Ontario, finishing 36th.
Wahl's final race came in 1980, when he competed at Riverside. Starting 23rd in the field of the field of thirty-seven, Wahl fell quite a many laps down and as a result struggled to a 26th place effort.
