Norm Benning Jr. (born January 16, 1952) is an American professional stock car racing driver and team owner as well as a commercial pilot. He competes part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 6 Chevrolet Silverado RST for his own team, Norm Benning Racing. He has competed in the series since 2002, primarily driving for his team.

Benning has often been referred to as Stormin' Norman after his performance in the 2013 Mudsummer Classic, the Truck Series' first race on dirt. He previously competed in the NASCAR Busch Series and Winston Cup Series. Benning is the oldest driver to ever finish on the lead lap in NASCAR's top three series.

Born in Level Green, Pennsylvania, Benning began by racing as a fifteen-year-old at Heidelberg Raceway even though he was supposed to be at least eighteen years old. He also has raced in dirt late models and asphalt modifieds.^{[citation needed]}

Benning has finished in the top ten in ARCA points seven times, with a highest place of fifth in 2001. In 276 starts, Benning has five top-fives and 32 top-ten finishes. His best effort was a third-place finish at the Springfield dirt mile in 2004.

Benning has attempted numerous NASCAR races in the top three divisions during his career. Benning made his NASCAR debut in 1989, driving in three races in the Cup Series for the No. 99 car owned by Jerry O'Neil. After starting 35th, Benning would finish 30th in his debut at Dover. He would then match that finish at Pocono and 31st in his return to Dover.

Benning made his last Cup points race start for O'Neil in 1993, starting last (39th) at Darlington and finishing 39th after one lap of competition. After that, Benning attempted to make the Daytona 500 for seven consecutive years, but either failed to qualify or was denied entry due to his car being slow in practice. He attempted many Cup races through 2001 in his own No. 84 84 Lumber Chevy, as well as a couple of entries of the No. 79 T.R.I.X. Racing car. Benning attempted a total of 33 Cup races, but DNQ'd 29 times. He withdrew from the 2011 Daytona 500.

Benning's next NASCAR start came in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2002. Driving for Troxell Racing, Benning qualified the No. 93 Chevy into the field at Nashville Superspeedway in eighteenth position. A vibration dropped the team out of the event, and Benning finished 32nd. In 2009, Benning was back in the Truck Series attempting a full season. He only missed one race, and that was Daytona. At Michigan, Benning finished seventeenth his best finish of the year for the Camping World Truck Series. His final position in points was 21st.

Benning attempted the NASCAR Busch Series for the next two years. Benning was able to compete in three of the six races attempted. In his debut, Benning started the 2003 Nazareth race in 42nd and finished in 40th. He was later able to improve during the season with a career-best 36th place at NHIS. Driving once again at Nazareth, Benning started 42nd before brake failure forced him out of the race, finishing 38th. He fielded a car for Dion Ciccarelli at Nazareth in 2004, and he finished 29th.
