i was curious to see who's names come up as to the opinions to this question. who do you think was or is the greatest modified driver of all time? i have been around modifieds and latemodels all my life and alot of drivers have come and gone but who are the ones that made the biggest impression on you throughout their careers. i have my own opinion and it is obvious if you look at my user name it will probably make sence. i am curious to here some of the old names from my youth, that with time you tend to forget.
who was the best modified driver ever?

not so much in the win cloumn but i think the greatest overall modifed driver as well as greatest modified knowledge i say either Les Myers or Dean Pearson those guys know so much on every aspect of modifieds from racing to the actually building and parts aspect there the most well rounded alot of knowledge is in those two

What ever you are drinking please give me a big glass ! Yes Dean is a very nice guy, but come on. His cars look great but are far from the best working, you do'nt need to have big money to have a car that works good. And yes Dean is a nice guy but not even in the top 100 best ever. Les is very very smart and could be in the top 20 as a wrench but not as a driver, he was a good driver but great ? like them or not they both are nice guys. But even in modern days names like Tommy, Andy ,Lou , Brian , Davey, Ron Smoker, and even little old kevy are way better. Let alone all time. Lets go back to the 70s where all was built and they fall way down.

They are both the same, one or the other will run over you rather than go around ya. As far as a wrench Les is as I said very very good, and may be one of the best

I totally disagree. Andy is a very talented guy with about 100 wins. The only idiotic thing that he is doing is driving for Vicki...

The answer is: There is no answer to who was the greatest mod driver ever. Around here, Lou Blaney has the numbers to prove he was the best Oh/Pa modified driver. But comparing Lou to the Eastern and NY guys who race or raced for a living is like comparing apples to oranges. Except for rare occasions and Syracuse, Lou didn't race against guys like Kenny Brightbill, Billy Pauch, Will Cagle, Jack Johnson, Alan Johnson, Bob McCready, Louie Lazarro and a bunch of others. I've often wondered how Lou (or any other local driver) would've made out if he'd raced against the full timers back east.

now i know alot of the older drivers are like wayyy good but I have to say this rex king is averaging a win a week and he is always on top in points everywhere... that is how I think is the best driver!

I think Flyin' Brian Fink is one of the greatest modfied drivers ever because not is he my dad but he doesnt need big money motors or brand new cars or new tires every week to do finish up front
