| | Childress: Burton one of 50 greatest drivers
Car owner Richard Childress, who fielded a Chevy for six of Dale Earnhardt's seven championships, says Jeff Burton deserves to be considered one of NASCAR's 50 greatest drivers. "He drives as hard as anyone I've ever watched," Childress says. "That's what attracted me to him." -- USA Today ----------------------------
I am not 100% sure I agree with this. I know that he is one of Childress's drivers but one of the 50 Greatest?
Who would you put on your list of 50 greatest? (and you don't have to name 50)
For me -
Richard Petty, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt, Cale Yarlboro......
Who else?

Yeah.. I also think that Jeff Burton should be in there...He's right up there with Mark Martin, he always races clean, and is a gentleman on and off the track

He almost won the 1999 championship and did win in 2000...and if the caution flag didn't fall in the 40th running of the Daytona 500, he would have easily passed Dale, Sr. for the win...too bad they didn't have the green-white-checker rule then....not to mention, he's the only one to win a Busch and Cup championship. | Re: Greatest NASCAR Drivers
