Bob Kauf (April 1, 1942 – January 24, 1999) was an American professional stock car racing driver. He primarily competed in the NASCAR Winston West Series during the 1970s.

Racing career

Kauf began competing in the NASCAR Grand National West in 1970, failing to qualify for his first attempt at Evergreen Speedway before making three starts with a best result of thirteenth at Speedway 605. In 1971, Kauf ran twenty-three of twenty-six races in the renamed Winston West Series, scoring seven top-ten finishes. This schedule included his first starts in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series, both coming at Riverside International Raceway, although he failed to finish either race due to mechanical issues. He ran fifteen of thirty West races in 1972, scoring six top-tens. This schedule included three Winston Cup races, although he failed to qualify for the first race at Riverside and again failed to finish in his other starts due to mechanical problems. Kauf made twelve West starts in 1973, scoring his lone career win at Century 21 Speedway and scoring a career-high eight top-tens. He made his final Winston Cup start at Riverside, finishing thirty-seventh due to ignition issues. Kauf made his final NASCAR start in 1974 at Cajon Speedway, finishing twentieth due to overheating issues. He competed in a race at Saugus Speedway in 1979 in the Western States Open Competition Series, finishing twentieth.
