IMO - I would think Tony Stewart is a better all-around driver. The guy can drive anything and fast too. Jeff Gordon is good too.

All time best US driver - must be Mario Andretti and A. J. Foyt. Many other notable drivers too.

Yeah but he can wreck pretty good too - I remember watching the road course events - he would either win or crash trying to :)

Of course in NASCAR terms it is not will a driver wreck but how often will he wreck ;) :)

you do know that Mario Andretti grew up on the dirt tracks, right?

Mario is grrrrrrrreat all around, Robby Gordon, IMHO, and based on race engineers I talk with, is the best Nascar all arounder today by a long shot... and a great personality to boot. (this may be bias, as the race engineers i've spoken with are both Renault, and Roush, and Ferrari Challenge...

I must say though Robby Gordon has been the best road course driver in Nascar by a large margin. Even the specialists like Scott Pruett, Boris Said, Ron Fellows haven't done as well. I wonder if Monty will change that? I will be watching with interest.

Yeah I really like Gordon!

He always goes 200%!! :D

Dan Gurney also come to mind. Wins in F1, Nascar, can am, indy car, trans am, and lemans.



Foyt as mentioned above. Midgets, sprints, nascar, lemans, etc.
