You are all wrong, Kenseth does deserve, even with the new points, kenseth and johnson are the only two that have made all the chases. Also it was because of matt they changed the points. Matt is very consistant driver and is always a threat. HE DOES DESERVE to be on this list as he also hasnt been in the sport as long as the other drivers

Also just to say if Jeff Gordon stays in nascar long enough, he will be the only person to break that 200 streak. It will take some time but like i said if he stays in there for many years yet he will do it. No im no jg fan either

im sorry but matt kenseth doesn’t belong in this group. he’s a great talent but he hasnt been a big factor like the other three have been (excluding gant) have been in the sport. Petty was great in his day but that day of nascar was far different than what it is now. I think it will definatly be a close one between earnhardt and gordon. Im not a gordon fan but he definatly is a great driver and has shown he’s got what it takes but i dont think nobody will ever drive like earnhardt. i think it should go to dale. just my opinion about it

You are apparently ignorant of the cars, tracks, and sponsorships of the Petty era, or what made the sport what it is today. Car for car and track for track for track, Petty would have overrun Earnhart as he did Earnhart’s father. And would have done it legally, and without runing someone through the wall, as Dale did. He (Dale) died the way he lived and deserved what he got

Call me ignorant or whatever i dont care moron. Think about that though Nascar as to when petty was driving compared today is totally different. Nascar is all about the setup’s now, teamwork, and a greatdriver comes to play as well. its not fully about horsepower (still is to a degree) like it used to be because they want everybody equal in a way of wording it. For the record what you said about Dale all i can say for you is What goes around comes around. Thats a hell of a thing to wish on somebody. Dale didnt deserve to go so soon but it was an accident that he for surely didnt deserve to be in. Richard Petty is and was a great driver but nobody will ever drive like Dale did. Winning’s Winning. Second place is just the first loser

Hey- this was a question put to Craven, and he gave a list of drivers HE considered
to be the best. Anyone he says belongs on this list belongs on his list……..

You can not say someone does not belong on a list when the question was to someone to give their opinion. Craven gave
his opinion. End of story!!!!

This forum is all about peoples opinions. Yes people can say if they dont think somebody belong’s on his list its just their opinion to. It’s open for debate. Craven gave his and I myself just like others gave their opinion as every other post on this website so End of Story!!! go back to doing what you was doing before you left your comment seems its something good seeing that your names BJwonderwoman

it wont be long fore kasey kane is up there. i may hate gordon with a passion but he can outdrive alot of people. kenseth will make his way onto this list he just has a little ways to go. i expect earnhardt jr will do good next year and get on this list too

Don’t pick on Matt. These are Craven’s choices. He had brain damage, so cut him some slack. Does it bother anyone that Kulwicki only won 5 races and a championship in a very short time? Two of the wins were in his championship year. Gant is often overlooked because he didn’t win a championship and that’s wrong. He was our Mr. October like Reggie was with the 1977-78 Yankees.

Kenseth before gordon? I don’t think so! I respect JG even though I am not a fan of his and he is one of the best drivers I have ever seen. What abour JJ? TS? to many to name!

I agree also, Kenseth doesn’t QUITE YET belong in this group.
He is somewhat underrated, but not that much.

Hell yeah he does(Matt Kenseth)…he’s one of the most underrated wheelmen out there every weekend! He’s the main reason for the chase because he kicked so much ass in 2003 and has still made every one of them. Not to mention he was a threat for the championship last year.

Don’t get me wrong….I think Kenseth is a damn good driver. But in my opinion not in this discussion.

I agree with you re Kenseth. That’s why I thought this was an interesting article to post. I’m sure there’ll be lots of opinions.
