  Elmer Musclow (October 8, 1924 – March 29, 2005) was an American stock car racing driver from Rochester, NY. He is regarded as a pioneer of motorsports, competing in the 1940s when prizes seldom exceeded the likes of quarter barrels of beer and complimentary dinner tickets.
  
  ## Racing career
  
  Elmer Musclow made two appearances in the NASCAR Grand National Series, finishing 15th in each. He spent the majority of his career racing in the NASCAR Sportsman Division (predecessor of the Xfinity Series) and Modified divisions competing at the renowned tracks of the northeast, including Canandaigua Fairgrounds NY, Lancaster Speedway NY, Spencer Speedway NY, and the New York State Fairgrounds. He was 1958 and 1960 track champion at the Monroe County Fairgrounds Speedway.
