Exactly. I think a couple of guys wouldve got another championship. Dale Jr in 04 (i think), Tony Stewart, and Jeff. Its sad really. They wanted to increase excitement and it backfired. They had 10+ million viewers when they changed the rules. Now they brag when they hit 4 million.Those are all great races and a segue to the Jimmy Johnson is about my third on the greatest list, not my greatest driver. I go Dale, Jeff, Jimmy. A couple of Jimmy championships would have likely been Jeff championships under the best driver points rules, he would have had 8. Dale and Jimmy ran under one major points system while Jeff was in two different major points systems and the latter years had many changes.
Thats a good point, but that question can be asked about anything really. How many would Petty have if he never got in his bad wreck? Would Dale Jr have 1 if he stayed at DEI? If Chad Knaus kept working under Ray Evernham and stayed with the 24, would Jeff have gotten the championships that Jimmie got?Here's some food for thought. Everyone agrees that Dale Sr. was a great driver and won many championships.
But how many would he have won if not for the deaths of Alan Kulwicki, Davey Allison and Tim Richmond?
Also what if Darrell Waltrip had stayed with Junior Johnson?
All major changes in their prime.
Top ten drivers of all time? Agree? Who was left off? This is their list, not mine
1. Jimmie Johnson
2. Dale Earnhardt, Sr.
3. Jeff Gordon
4. Richard Petty
5. David Pearson
6. Cale Yarborough
7. Darrell Waltrip
8. Bobby Allison
9. Kyle Busch
10. Tony Stewart

All 3 raced in completely different eras and definitely shine during their era. Would be interesting if Jeff, Jimmie, Sr, and Richard couldve competed against each other in their prime, and in the sports primeIts not a bad list. Personally I am not putting Jimmie in the top spot but. . . . Not sure I would have Kyle Busch on my list at all.
I would have either Jeff, Sr. or Petty at the top. A case could be made for all three.
So are personal attacks and name calling ok again?Not sure what the message is here I am sure it’s some type of insult being the spineless Trolls got a woodie… SMH
