I wonder if he would’ve kept driving too long, like DW, trailing the field, or retired before he lost it and focused on heading up DEI.

DEI had an excellent chance to be a major team for a long time with Big E running it. Unfortunately, his widow pissed it away in no time.

Dale was planning to retire no later than 2002. Harvick was thrown into Cup about 2 years prior than planned.

He did alright I guess

It's hard to pick who is the best of the top 5.

JJ, Gordon, Earnhardt, Pearson, Petty - All of them deserve claim to the greatest.

Put him up there if you think he is the GOAT. My money is on Richard Petty and those 200 wins.

I didn't know that was requirement to post in this thread.

All I'm saying is those 5 I listed have a legit claim to the GOAT.

You think it's Petty, then fine. That's your opinion.

Yeah 60.wins and a title(should of had another and would have won 4 under the old system) isn't too shabby.
