The only real argument is who was the second best There you can discuss Petty, Gordon and Sr in whatever order you want for second third and fourth 140 of Petty win came before the modern era began and as the modern era went on competition got stronger so I'll go Gordon, Petty then Sr Agreed on the bold, I can't believe I'm saying that, LOL. Disagree with the rest of it. I would place it as Sr, Petty then Gordon myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The old timers had to drive ill handling shit cars all while not having A/C in their helmets or fresh air to breath. The new guy all have closer equipment that they old guys did. Having said that, SR Johnson Flip a coin here with Petty Petty Pearson Waltrip Kyle Busch is by far the most talented driver I have ever seen in person, but as everybody knows, he's a head case.

Also, I'm right there with you on KB, well at least a coin toss with Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
