Who are the greatest drivers in NASCAR Cup Series history? Jordan_Bianchi and jeff_gluck put together a panel of stock car racing experts to help answer that question.
With NASCAR’s 75th anniversary season upon us, we decided to put together a panel of stock car racing experts to help us answer that question.
Unlike the most famous edition of this list — NASCAR’s own “50 Greatest Drivers” from the 50th anniversary season in 1998 — we decided to limit it to only the Cup Series.That made it both more of a challenge and more fascinating to see the results, since some names that you might not expect made the list.
A quick word about our methodology before we jump into Part 2 of our list: We sought to gather a sampling of a variety of voices throughout the NASCAR industry. That included drivers , team owners, crew chiefs, spotters, track executives and media members. We also wanted to have a variety of ages on the panel to represent knowledge of different eras.
We refrained from asking any drivers eligible for the list to participate in the voting due to potential conflicts of interest. However, we recognize those conflicts could exist from other members of the panel based on the nature of their roles., featuring Nos. 75-51, ran last week. Next up: On Feb. 13, we’ll reveal Nos. 25-5.
