      it's bloomquist, then moyer a very close second. no one else even deserves to be in the conversation.

        We all view it differently based on our region and the generation of racers we grew up with.. I was born in nov 81... My first dirt race was November 81. 411, atomic, smoky mtn, tazewell, Bulls gap, Cleveland were my racetracks. For some reason as a child I always booed bloomquist bc he was like a Villian. The older I got the more I realized he wasn't an evil bad guy he was just an awesome racer and probably the best in the country.. Right down the road from me in moorseburg.. I'm from Sevierville. Rick eckert, Mars, panic an, f smith, Scott sexton, billy ogle.. All those guys where big and great but it really feels like bloomquist is number one all time from my generation 81-current

          This is a easy one! Moyer!! Bloomquist's conviction has to affect his ranking! And to the Bloomquist lovers who are going to bash me for saying this hey it's part of his career!

            So would Billy's indiscretions also be part of his career????

            If we are talking racing career, then I'm not sure it's fair to bring in the private affairs( no pun intended) in judging the racing careers of either.

              Oh yea the morals clause in LM racing deducts a couple hundred feature wins from the record books.....I almost forgot.

                I actually have a letter from Scott that was written to me after I mailed his fan club asking him about it... You know what? They actually took the time to write some kid (me) loosely explain the situation and give me some autographed pictures! I thought how awesome! I'll try to find that letter I have it somewhere!

                  Where would somebody like Schrader fit into this question???

                  I know he isn't the best ever, but for somebody to do what he does year in and year out has got to account for some recognition.

                  Bout the only thing he hasn't raced and won in is paddle boats.

                    Don't even go there!!! Scott is still married to his one and only Wife. What mister smooth did is a total conviction. For the rest of his Life. So smooth of him? Hey it's part of his career!!

                      If Purvis is rejected for his pavement racing I cant see them considering Schrader,But I am with you BBQ Kenney should be considered some where in here There isnt anything he hasnt raced and won in.

                        Using your logic a quarter of the Nascar Hall of Fame needs to go.

                          i agree, its just gonna be weird not seeing swindell in a sprint car this season..

                            I would compare him more to Barry Bonds, or Roger Clemens. Maybe Lance Armstrong. He is pretty arrogant. He has been caught cheating, suspended, busted for drugs, etc. but, he has a great record. But so do the fellas i compared him too.

                              Careful Dante, the long knives come out when the D-word is used in the same paragraph with the name Snort Bloomquist. Hehehehe!

                              Someone set me straight if I'm mistaken but wasn't Snort married for a short time prior to his present state of marital bliss?
