OK, Iīm sorry if you feel insulted but I was just exprssing my opinion. I donīt go around calling people @ssh*oles just because they say they like montoya (I hate the guy) so control your temper.

If you base the "Greatness" on number of races won, no contest - King Richard. Petty has won more combined races then any driver, anywhere, period! (That includes our current WDC)

And David Pearson won - what - 125? King Richard himself, with his 200 victories in the Winston Cup, once said that if Earnhardt had been around in his time, he "might have won 300." These days, the guys who just keep on winning are so impressive, because the talent pool in NASCAR is so very thick.

Greatness and the 'best' are all subjective terms, no matter how highly the temperature may get raised in a discussion!!
Life is full of so many possibilities, choices and people. As Dr Lawrence said, its the questions that are what fascinates, not necessarily the answers. In this case there isn't an answer. It's a bit more complex, but out of innocent questions, learning can take place.

I stand by my vote.

Ah, now I remember! 
He certainly belongs in the poll. But, as you may recall from a previous post of mine, I did my best to pare down the contents that I added. Donahue was surely one of the great racers of all time. |
