A native of Charlotte, N.C., Castles earned the nickname "Soapy" after getting his very first experience in racing through a soapbox derby, and he started his career at age 17 by helping prepare a car that would be driven by Buddy Shuman in the 1951 Southern 500. Castles would make his debut as a Cup driver in June 1957, completing 51 laps at Columbia Speedway before dropping out with engine failure.
