The recency and age biases are strong in this thread.

My short list exclusively for Stock/Super Stock would be Biondo, Fletcher, Helms, Taylor, Lamb.

There are a large number of very accomplished racers who belong in a tier just below these names.

Picking the best from that "A" list
Is like picking Pizza or Lasagna
...although that's probably for D1 folks

First thought was no way. But after reading the article and seeing the numbers if not the GOAT he definitely is the hottest racer in Stock/Super Stock right now time will tell if he is the GOAT.

I think that Mike Walters was Top 10 for ten years running all while doing so out of Div. 3.

No doubt, Justin has been a very hot driver, this and last year, no bad luck on this run of success and luck is huge,there are a handful of drivers for many years at this sport that have had success and many div. and nat.events wins,,there is a long way to go to go be the best to ever do it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

For sure the best out there is Dan Fletcher and David Rampy. All of the others mentioned are great drivers but not in the league of Fletcher and Rampy. Not sure if anyone mentioned Jeff Taylor. He is for sure a great driver and engine builder. Has to rank near the top.

Terminator. end of thread. the best there ever was. Be glad he got preoccupied with other venues besides stock and SS racing. Would clearly be over 100 wins if he didnt take his sabbatical
