Nascar Gods

i was just watching the 1985 race at talladaga on nascar classiscs and i was wondering who everyone thinks is the greatest NASCAR racer of all time. with all respect to the late great Earndhart i would have to say the greatest racer is the king himself Richard Petty and the number 43 car

OK ummmmmmm NO OFFENSE COVEN I NEVER LIKED nascar I ALWAYS THOUGHT it was kind of rediculous that they drive in a circle and only 3 out of i dont know howmany tracks have left hand turns

i personally like formula one and WRC (world rally chamionship)
i also enjoy super bike races

all ovals are left, it's when you go right that your fucked:D but having raced oval for many years myself i can personally say there is a lot more to it than that. you'd be suprised about the kind of witts you need on the track just to keep your car out of the wall. although i do love F1 too, i don't like how if they just touch wheels it's a crash. to borrow a line from a fav movie of mine

"He didn't bump yeah, he didn't nudge yeah, he rubbed yeah. and rubbin son is racing"

Damn I love the races that didn't have restrictor plates. Then it was a free for all. Of course the downside is the crashes. Holy shit those sucked a lot worse than they do now. But to answer the question:
Best Nascar Legend: Tied between Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt, Sr.
Worst Racer EVER: Jeff Gordon (stupid rainbow loving flamer)

[Coven66]

i agree gordon is a daddys boy flamer

shit that reminds me, a friend of mine is this really amazing artist, and she drew this almost life like picture of eardhart sr. with his car reflecting in his glassis, well her boyfriend works on a bush car pit crew and she showed the pic to jeff bodine and he took it over to eardhart who signed it. this was at talladaga a year befor he died. can you imagine how much that is worth now

[Kanism]
