Brad Francis is a Canadian racing engineer who has worked with teams such as Richard Childress Racing and Bill Davis Racing. He was inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in 1995.[1]

Brad Francis has built both cars and engines for a wide range of Canadian racers. Earliest contributions included engines for David Billes. Subsequently, he built the 1980 SCCA Trans-Am winning car # 94 for Eppie Wietzes. That car was completed just in time for the first race and, without turning a wheel except to roll off the trailer, it won its first race. The car was then sold to Peter Deman, who ran it as # 22, 42 and 69, 1982 to 1985.

Brad Francis now works at Roush Racing in Charlotte, North Carolina.
