SHOE-INS (These guys are a lock, so not included in the poll)

Dale Earnhardt
One of only two seven-time NASCAR Nextel Cup champions and generally regarded as the toughest driver of his era and NASCAR’s most popular driver ever.

Richard Petty
Petty earned seven NASCAR championships, seven Daytona 500 victories and 200 race wins. In 1967 alone, he won 27 races, including 10 in a row, records likely never to be touched.


VOTE below on your favorite from the following candidates...

Bobby Allison
Three-time Daytona 500 winner and 1983 Nextel Cup champion, his 84 victories are tied for third on the all-time list with Darrell Waltrip. Part of the legendary “Alabama Gang.”

Bill France, Sr.
NASCAR founder and the visionary who unified stock-car racing and moved it out of dirt tracks and moonshine. It was France and his family who built NASCAR from nothing.

Holman & Moody
John Holman and Ralph Moody ran the factory Ford team starting in the 1950s and are credited with inventing the modern tube chassis and successfully raced in many other series as well.

Junior Johnson
Former moonshiner won 50 races in just 317 starts, including the 1960 Daytona 500, and as a car owner won 139 races and six NASCAR championships.

David Pearson
The “Silver Fox” was a three-time series champion and his victory total of 105 races trails only Richard Petty, with whom he had some of his most famous battles.

Darrell Waltrip
Loud, controversial and opinionated, Waltrip shook the racing establishment in the 1970s. He went on to 84 race victories and three series titles before moving into the television booth.

Wood Brothers
The Wood Brothers began racing in 1953 and won 96 races with a who’s who list of drivers, led by David Pearson, Cale Yarborough and others. Also served as pit crew on Jim Clark’s winning car in the 1965 Indy 500.

Cale Yarborough
The only driver in NASCAR history to win three championships in a row, Yarborough won 83 races and 70 poles in a storied career.

Lee Petty
54 Wins and 3 NASCAR titles...1954, 58, and 59 when he won the very first Daytona 500.

All of the above really..
