#1 would likely be Jamie McMurray. Won the Daytona 500 and Brickyard. More prestigious than what Donnie won (the 600)
 
Sorry DW is the better driver at #88 than Jarrett.

But he really wasn’t. Championships mean a lot. DW’s best years were in the 11, and I picked DW over Yarborough and Ned Jarrett, so it’s not a slight at DW

I just assumed Donnie won more races driving the 1. The only clip he ever shows up in, he's in the 1, and he has 10 wins.

I didnt think you were slighting anyone. Dont know the perimeters you were using. My thinking was which #88 driver would you want.
your list as a whole looks good :thumb:

DW ranks ahead of DJ easily, but I was just going for time in that number, otherwise, Dale Sr would have been the 8 and 15 and David Pearson would be the 1, 2 and 6.
 
Which ever crashed the most or caused the most crashes.
 
Joey Logano and Kyle Busch.
Kyle definitely struggled with "lifting" in his early years and it created some interesting situations for sure. :eyebrows:

The thing I like about his driving style as well as Logano and Keselowski's is that they are racing for the win, not the points. I think my sig line sums it up well.
 
121- Dan Gurney

Also, #70 has never won a race and I always think of JD McDuffie for that number.
