Once asked the hightest winning percentage of all time. Near as I can tell this is the answer. This is for all NASCAR WC or Grand Nationl or Strictly Stock drivers beginning in 1949 who had at least 100 starts.
One Herbert Watson Thomas, known as Herb. Born April 6, 1923. Herb Thomas competed on the NASCAR circuit from 1949 unitl 1962, running full time from 1951 through 1956. Winning percentage was 20.87.
Starts - 230
Wins - 48
Poles - 38
2nds - 25
3rds - 19
4ths - 20
5ths - 10
6 through 10 - 34
Thats 156 top tens in 230 races. For the 6 years beginning in 1951 and through 1956 Herb won the points championship twice, finished second twice, third once and fifth once. His career earnings were $139,944.
