The only argument is probably Mark or Denny Hamlin.A better question might be who is the best driver who never won a championship?

Maybe they should retroactively give him a Helms trophy. 😂As I said Gordon won 7 “points championships”. Sure, he didn’t win a “championship” but based on the traditional format he had the best team all season 3 times yet didn’t come home with a trophy, it’s needs to be taken into account. Gordon also never had a drop off like Pearson and Johnson. Outside of his rookie year Gordon never finished outside of top 10 points but one time (2005) from 1994-2015.
Gordon also has more crown jewel and grand slam wins than any driver in NASCAR Cup history. He also has the most modern era (1972-present) NASCAR Cup wins. He also won the most single season wins in the modern era. He has the most wins at restrictor plate and road courses in history. He is also the only driver in consideration to win the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
JJ was and still is the only racecar driver to be named the Male Athlete of the year by the AP. Not Gordan, Earnhardt, Schumacher, Hamilton, Dixon or any other driver from any other form of motorsports. I would think that had to help with the growth of the sport as well.I also never said a word about mainstream. You said that, not me. Gordon has meant way more for the sport in terms of success and sport growth than both Pearson and Johnson. If you argue otherwise this conversation is completely pointless because it’s a dead ass wrong opinion.
There's certainly an argument to be made for Jimmie Johnson. He's definitely top 5.JJ was and still is the only racecar driver to be named the Male Athlete of the year by the AP.

I guess. It is just their personalities more than who they race for. But I do despise Hendrick. he is a cheater on and off the track. Kind of ironic he employs drivers who are kind of the same.So you don't like Hendrick Motor Sports huh? 😂
