All-time top 5

#1 - Dale Earnhardt

Seven championships, seventy-three wins and all in the modern era. There is no doubt that "The Intimidator" is the best that NASCAR Winston Cup racing has ever seen.

#2 - Richard Petty

Seven championships and 200 wins. However, I rank him below Earnhardt because most of those wins came in a different era of NASCAR. It was much easier to dominate back then than it is now. Still and forever "The King."

#3 - David Pearson

"The Silver Fox" has three championships and 105 wins to his credit. David Pearson was the master of tricky tracks and thrived at Darlington. His smooth style and finesse make him one of NASCAR's best ever.

#4 - Darrell Waltrip

No, not the DW from the late 90's, I mean the DW that has won eighty-four races and 3 championships. I wish he'd retire before more people forget that "Ole DW" once dominated the sport.

#5 - Jeff Gordon

It pains me greatly to include him on this list. But honestly, Jeff Gordon is one of the best ever. Three championships and 49 wins already in his young career... ask me this same question again in a few years and Jeff will appear higher on this list.
