Paul Stuart Wolfe (born April 24, 1977) is an American NASCAR crew chief and former driver. The second son of Charles F. Wolfe, Jr. and Susan M. (Farmer) Wolfe. Wolfe graduated from Milford Central School in 1995. He competed in the NASCAR Busch North Series between 2000 and 2004, and in the Busch Series between 2003 and 2005.
In 2005, Wolfe was slated to drive the #6 Dodge Charger for Evernham Motorsports. In the first four events, Wolfe failed to finish in the top twenty-five once and did not qualify for a race at Mexico City's Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. He was immediately replaced by Jeremy Mayfield and Kasey Kahne, with team owner Ray Evernham stating that the team "felt it was necessary at this time to make some changes to ensure [it is] competitive." He remained under contract with the team and returned to race the car in three more events later in the year, finishing in the top-ten at Nashville Superspeedway in his final race with the team. Afterwards, he signed with FitzBradshaw Racing; he raced both the #40 and #12 Dodges in a combined five races, with his best finish being 23rd. He then worked with FitzBradshaw as crew chief on the #12 and #22 Dodge Chargers driven in the NASCAR Grand National Division, Busch East Series by 2006 ROTY Ruben Pardo and John Freeman.
In 2008, Wolfe worked with Braun Racing as crew chief of the #38 Toyota driven by Jason Leffler in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
In 2009, Wolfe worked as crew chief for CJM Racing while Mike Bliss was driving CJM's #11 car.
