    NASCAR ’ s Best and Underrated COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL CCH001.inddH001.indd 5 66/25/10/25/10 77:05:28:05:28 PPMM Who Was the Greatest NASCAR Driver Ever? This debate always gets passionate fans going, with typically mild - mannered individuals turning into raving, obsessed fanatics if someone dares to challenge the superiority of the guy they so proudly call “ their ” driver. Think of a 140 - pound, Woody Allen – look- ing dweeb who lives and breathes Kasey Kahne suddenly getting a surge of testosterone, puffi ng out his chest while forgetting com- mon sense, and stupidly trying to take on a hulking, 300 - pound redneck who takes great offense if you say anything bad about Dale Earnhardt Jr. Then watch the punched - out Woody Allen – esque fan suddenly wind up doing a frightening, almost cartoonlike barrel roll through the air like the great Rusty Wallace did more than a few times during his career at places like Talladega Superspeedway. Mamas, don ’ t let your babies grow up to be cowboys, and make sure you teach ’ em never to diss Dale Junior— but I digress. In more than sixty years of racing, NASCAR has had more than its share of greats, the most notable being The King, Richard Petty, and the equally colorfully nicknamed Intimidator, the late Dale Earnhardt. Both Petty and Earnhardt share a record that will most likely never be broken in Cup racing, each having won seven championships. Even Jeff Gordon, a guy who is just as talented as Petty and Earnhardt, will probably never make it to seven titles in the years of racing he has remaining.
