Greatest driver

Now my overrated post was interesting but this subject is one that people get into fist fights over. Who is the greatest driver of all time?

I'm just saying that IMO Jeff Gordon is the best driver.

I was going to stay out of the argument but i couldn't resist. My personal opinon is gordon and petty is a close second. I have a hard time buying the earnhardt argument. the argument i always hear is that petty had too many chances to win 200. well if thats the case than gordon is the best because he has the most poles in the modern era of NASCAR and 4 wins away from becoming the winningest driver in the modern era. he has more daytona 500s than earnhardt and more brickyards than anyone in NASCAR history. The only argument that was decent towards earnhardt was that he won 7 titles. But all of those were pre chase era. if not for that gordon is a 6 time champion.
my list:
1.gordon
2.petty
3.pearson
4.earnhardt

Thank you. You just presented my case perfect!

Gordon is by no means on of my favs but I'm not blind about what he's done.

Now I would like to know what makes Petty the best! If petty got out their these days, (lets say he is still young) could he win races? I mean, they had many more races in the old days then they do now, and the fields were smaller, and their wasnt as much competition back then as their is now. No cuz he is my fav, but I would say gordon is the best, because he could get it done back in those days, but he can still drive the car very well now.
