Roy Mayne, born May 16, 1935 is a former NASCAR driver from Sumter, SC. He competed in 139 Sprint Cup Series events in his career prior to dying on January 5, 1998.
Mayne's career spanned from 1963 to 1974, though Mayne would never race a full season and only earn twenty-two top-ten finishes. His best season came in 1966, when Mayne finished 25th in points after five top-ten finishes. However, his best career finish came in 1965, when Mayne finished 4th at Darlington.
However, after the 1966 season Mayne would only earn six top-ten finishes in the rest of his career. After a frustrating 1974 season, in which he only had a best finish of 13th, Mayne retired.
