Jim Reich (born November 5, 1942) is an American former professional stock car racing driver. He competed in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series, NASCAR Winston West Series, and NASCAR Featherlite Southwest Tour.
Reich competed in the Rose Classic at All American Speedway three times between 1975 and 1979, with a best finish of fourth. He made a start in the NASCAR Late Model Sportsman National Championship in 1977 at Riverside International Raceway, finishing twentieth. He made his NASCAR Winston West Series debut that same year at Laguna Seca Raceway, where he was scored twenty-fifth after he failed to finish due to transmission issues. He made his next start at San Jose Speedway, finishing third, and in the following race at Mesa Marin Raceway, he started on pole and led every lap en route to his first series win. He would not compete in the series again in 1977, but returned to compete full time in 1982, driving a Chevrolet for fellow stock car driver Ivan Baldwin. Across the season's thirteen races, he scored a win at Western Speedway, six top fives, and nine top tens, finishing second in the final standings. He was awarded rookie of the year. In contesting the full West schedule, he made two NASCAR Winston Cup Series starts at Riverside that were in combination with the West Series. In his Cup debut, he finished tenth, and in the second race, he finished nineteenth. Despite a successful season, Reich never returned to West Series competition. In 1989, he debuted in the NASCAR Featherlite Southwest Tour, failing to finish both starts he made. He made three more starts in 1990, once again failing to finish any races.
