Best nascar driver?

Question

whos the best all-time NASCAR racer?

Answer 1

Richard Petty. Best active driver is Jeff Gordon.

Answer 2

Mark Martin or Bill Elliott.

Answer 3

There is no way for todays fans to accuratly pick a driver to call the best.Each generation of drivers that come thru has it's best.

Red Byrom,Marshall Teague,Curtis Turner,Fireball Roberts,Darrell Derringer,Cotton Owen,Richard Petty,David Pearson,Bobby Allison,Darrell Waltrip,Dale Earnhardt,Rusty Wallace,Tim Richmand,Davey Allison,Jeff Gordon,Tony Stewart, Every  one of these are worthy of being the best,and we all can argue the fact.But the personal opinion is the fun of this sort of question so there is not a best answer,just a most popular driver.

My favorite is hands down,Bobby Allison.

Answer 4

best driver

Richard Petty 200 wins 7 championships

Dale Earnhardt 76 wins 7 championships

Jeff Gordon 81 wins 4 championships

my top 3

Answer 5

Dale Earnhardt Sr and Alan Kulwicki

Answer 6

Dale Earnhardt of course they say that he is the Greatest Driver Whoever. and just Remember this " Heroes Get Remembered But Legends Never Die" - Babe Ruth ( the Sandlot 1993)

Go Dale Jr #88

Answer 7

The best NASCAR driver of all-time is King Richard Petty. You can't argue with 200 wins and 7 championships. Dale Earnhardt is a close second, and I think he would have won at least one more championship and staked his claim as the best of all time if he could have finished out his career.

The best active NASCAR driver is Jeff Gordon. His closest competition (Stewart and Johnson) have only half of his 4 titles and nowhere near 81 wins.

Answer 8

Dale Earnhardt or Richard Petty...............Sorry #24 fans, you only have 4 championships...............7 is better than 4

Answer 9

Darrel Waltrip

Answer 10

Jeff Gordon

Answer 11

Dale Earnhardt

Don't look at me look at NASCAR's top 50 drivers tv show!

Answer 12

best would mean either going on the stats which says Petty, or and individual choice based on what the individual thinks, and for sure PAPABILL got the right idea...personally I pick from among Pearson, Yarborough, Earnhardt, DW

Answer 13

The best I have ever seen was David Pearson. Jeff Gordon is the best active driver today. Pearson raced from 1964-1982 so many younger fans may not remember him. That #21 Mercury was almost unbeatable back in the 70's.

Answer 14

well it would have to be the king richard petty. but there has been to many really to pick just one.

Answer 15

All time? Popular answers should average around Richard Petty or Big Dale.

NOBODY could beat these guys, and they were mean, brutal, and knew how to drive a car.

But if you look back into all the great drivers of the past, including Darrell Waltrip, Cale Yarborough, and Junior Johnson, you'll find a TON of great drivers.

My personal favorite? A.J. Allmendinger ((Because of his name)), but the best? Bill Elliot and his crew really knew how to tune a ride.  He was one of, if not the first driver to surpass 200mph and one of the main reasons for them to add restrictor plates.  Man, that guy sure was good way back when.

Answer 16

Jeff Gordon =]

Answer 17

69

Answer 18

Mark Martin

Answer 19

The Silver Fox,David Pearson.

Answer 20

Richard petty and his plymouths (ford for one year)

Answer 21

Current diver - Jeff Gordon

Past Driver - Richard Petty - NO ONE is touching his 200 wins!

Answer 22

Richard Petty

but current driver-Jeff Gordon.

but Jimmie & Tony come close.

Answer 23

Can't compare on stats. Would have to compare on ability, and we all know that's impossible. The King raced with very wealthy pockets and was racing several times a week. As time went on teams became more competitive and The King's winning ways diminished. Dale Earnhardt would probably be number one in my book, though I was never a fan of his. He won when racing was more competitive than ever. It was cheap, and cars were at the most equal ability that they ever have been. Now, with the rule changes in the points and such, the most deserving driver doesn't get the championship, case in point, Jeff Gordon.
