Nitro39 asked in SportsAuto RacingNASCAR · 1 decade ago

Who do you think are the 10 best drivers in NASCAR right now?

Thought of this when Hart gave the 5 he thinks are the best. I decided to respond with my own 5 plus 5 more:

1. Jeff Gordon

2. Tony Stewart

3. Jimmie Johnson

4. Kevin Harvick

5. Jamie McMurray

6. Kyle Busch

7. Jeff Burton

8. Kurt Busch

9. JP Montoya

10. Carl Edwards

Update:

Choosing between Edwards and Biffle was pretty hard. Both really go for the win when it's there, and both are really strong at most types of tracks. I'd say they're interchangeable really.

As for Hamlin, he's just now starting to win at tracks that aren't "flat tracks." When he makes a true run at the title this year, I'll be convinced. Until then, I say it's more the team than the driver.

    Jamie McMurray is NOT a better driver than Matt Kenseth. Other than that your list looks pretty good. Jamie has 2 wins EVER on non plate tracks and has NEVER made the chase. Matt has only missed the chase once, has a championship, and as many Daytona 500 victories.

    And one could make an argument against JPM. And one could insist Martin, Newman, Bifle, and a few others deserve mention.
