Richard Petty
Richard had 7 Championships and won 200 races of NASCAR Winston Cup Series.
He is undoubted with the nickname "The King". He had a record of winning 10
racing in a row in 1967. Some people argued that he won in the "old" time
when the stock cars were not so advanced as the modern ones. Still, he is the
legend of the NASCAR history.

Dale Earnhardt
Dale had 7 Championships all in modern time.
His nickname is "The Intimidator" and many regarded him as the best driver in NASCAR
history.
The only sad thing about him was that he crashed in a race and died during his heyday of the competition.
If he were still here, I am sure he could get more wins and even 8 or more championships.
