Positions 9 thru 7 in the Countdown
The greatest to ever drive at Daytona. Last week, I put Jimmie Johnson in the No. 10 slot.
(To review: the results are based on statistics – not a subjective approach to the term “greatest.” The top 10 is based on a statistic of wins per miles raced at Daytona in all “money” races, such as qualifiers, the Daytona 500 and the Pepsi 400. For instance, 12,000 laps with 3 wins amounts to 1 win per 4,000 miles raced.)
Position number nine belongs to:
9. Dale Jarrett (1 win every 4166.88 miles / 4 wins total)
Position number eight belongs to:
8. Jamie McMurray (1 win every 3770 miles / 1 win total)
Position number seven belongs to:
7. Tony Stewart (1 win every 3473.75 miles / 2 wins total)
