I’m glad u gave Jeff his flowers. People don’t realize how dominant he was for so long in his career. You could never count him out

[hunternixonfishing]

Kevin Harvick is so disrespected in the GOAT debate. He’s easily top 10 to me when you look at his whole body of work. He’s got all 4 crown jewels on his resume and he would be a 4 time champion under a fair format. He’s still a champion. Hes so disrespected because most people don’t consider him top 10. Also im on an island when I say this but I do think Richard petty is the best stat padder in nascar. He had no competition really other than Pearson. He’s overrated in the goat debate I agree with that

Jeff Gordon is a seven time champion too

[the_elmeister]

I think Tony Stewart is one of the greatest in all of motorsports. He’s done a lot of things that nobody has done before like being the only former open wheel champion to win the cup series title

[mattsellers]

I don’t believe Sr is regarded as the GOAT because he die, he was already in the conversation 6 years before he die.

You say Jeff Gordon longevity was better, over the his last 5 years he had an average point finish of 6.6.

Dale Sr had an average point finish over his last 5 years of 5.2.

Dale Sr raced full time until he was 49. Gordon retired younger at 44.

I believe competition was equal.

Now let’s talk about how well deserved they were on different tracks. Gordon is regarded as one of most talented drivers ever.

Gordon only was better at 2.5miles (Pocono & Indy) then Dale Sr & 1 mile tracks.

Dale Sr has a better average finish on short tracks, Superspeedway, Intermediate, & road course which was shocking to me.

don't forget that Richard Petty said David Person was a better driver than he was.

[StoopidRoofer]

Great stuff man! You did say CUP series! And this wasn't "clickbait" but what Kyle Busch has done across all 3 series is just ASTONISHING! I think he has 209 wins?

[JasonRamme-gw]

1.Lightning McQueen (G.O.A.T)
2.Doc Hudson
3.Strip Weathers (The King)
4.Chick Hicks
5.Jackson Storm

[AaronMizelle]

Kyle Larson is one of the best ever and Denny Hamlin deserves an honorable mention, as does Junior Johnson. Another point on Earnhardt, when Tim Richmond was healthy and drove for a car owner who paid his tire bills, he beat Earnhardt. Had Tim Richmond and Davey Allison lived, Dale would probably be a 3-4 time champion

[UncleTlife]

1 Petty and Pearson. They won with talent and didn't have to wreck people to win.
2 Jimmy Johnson. Clean driver. Won the most championships in shortest time period.
3 Mark Martin. Cheated out of a championship by nascar. Iroc 's best.
4 Ned Jarrett. Clean racer and dominated in his era.
5 Kyle Busch. Best over all in top 3 divisions. unreal car control.
6 Cale yarborough. Tuff as nails and 3 straight cups
7 Dale Earnhardt. His friendships with the Frances and others let him do anything he wanted
8 Matt Kenseth. Made nascar change championship format .
9 Rusty Wallace. Never give up attitude.
10 Lee Petty. Hateful yet hard nosed.Started career in his mid 30's

[wgnation]

Best winning average goes to David Pearson.

[zaymclovin]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention Herb Thomas in your honorable mentions. In 228 races he won 48 times and with the highest winning percentage of all time with a 20.96%

[IrishmanGFS]

The people who insist on Petty being #1, do y'all realize Petty *himself* disagrees with that? He's always named Pearson as better than him.

[JasonRamme-gw]

1.Jeff Gordon (G.O.A.T)

[GrizzlyJ.Ranger]

As someone who grew up as a Earnhardt fan and was very active watching in his dominant stretch from 86 to 94 which I think is the best ever. I also got to witness Gordon’s career begin and Petty’s career end as I was an attendance at the 92 hooters 500 which is the one of the most important races in history. I completely agree with you. I don’t think I would change a thing about this video. It was very informative and rather entertaining. Good job man.

Pearson!!! Number 1. 105 wins in 574 starts. Only ran for the championship 3 times and won it every time.

[joshlampman]

Putting DW before Pearson is beyond disrespectful

[RobertDetert]

Jeff Gordon was my favorite driver but David Pearson is #1.
Won 105 races in not a ton of starts in NASCAR.
