Danny Watts Jr. (born March 14, 1961) is an American former professional stock car racing driver who currently fields the No. 82 part-time for Woody Pitkat in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour.[1]

Watts Jr. was previously a competitor of the tour, having made his debut at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in 1989. After retiring after the 2015 season, he fielded his own team in the Tour, and ran full-time until the end of 2023.[2][3]
