in a season, hard scramble dont give me the stats from the 1800's, lol, i want modern day era. :)
 
The most I remember was 5, twice I think. Jeff Gordon had 5 I'm pretty sure, and I think Martin did too.
 
Yeah I agree TN. Bill Had 4 but Now I remember Jeff.
 
isnt jeff tied with richard petty for most wins in a season also ( 13 ) and most consecutive road course wins
 
I don't remember 5 for Jeff or Mark.

far as I know:

Richard Petty 10 - 1967
Bobby Allison 5 - 1971

Cale Yarborough 4 - 1976
Darrell Waltrip 4 - 1981
Dale Earnhardt 4 - 1987
Harry Gant 4 - 1991
Bill Elliott 4 - 1992
Mark Martin 4 - 1993
Jeff Gordon 4 - 1998

If there was 5 for Jeff or Mark. does anyone know the year?
 
well im sure if you dont remember then it probaly didnt take place---since you keep up with your statistics :)
 
I thought richard had that record the only thing is nascar doesnt agnoledge him for the record cause its premodern
 
Most wins season

Richard Petty 27 - - 1967
Richard Petty 21 - - 1971
Richard Petty 13 - - 1975
Jeff Gordon 13 -- 1998
Darrell Waltrip 12 - - 1981
Darrell Waltrip 12 - - 1982

Jeff won 6 consecutive road course races from 1997 to 2000
 
You prolly wont see anyone win 10 races consecutively again though, but the question to me is. Is it because richard was that good or is it because of the time he raced.Is nascar to competitive to dominate like that anymore???


also with the more then 13 wins is that possible at this time.That is my problem with compareing the 2 times records like that. I mean come on 27 races won in a season I cant imagine a driver winning that many races these days.
 
Neither Jeff or Mark won 5 in a row. And as far as the so called king goes I wouldn't even count half of his. Cause like kat meant to say "The King would ALWAYS cheat". I don't even see how he can look someone in the eye and say the he won 200 races. What a load of you know what.:rolleyes:
 
HS this one might even be hard for you but has there ever been a race where the leader has lapped everyone on the field exept for 5 drivers or less. IF so or if not either way whats the record on that???
 
Quite a few Smack, many where the leader was on a lap all his won.

To dig up the record would take a while but just as an example since its appropriate for today. When Ned Jarrett won the Southern 500 in 1965 I believe he was 14 laps ahead of the second place finisher.
 
Im pretty sure that in the ol days that the leader had lapped the whole field before. I remember someone who asked this question on RPM before...
 
thats what I thought and it was in the premodern see HS thats what I was talking about when you was talking about that rookie (dick) Im sure they were all great drivers back then But I have a hard time compareing a time when someone could win 20+ races in a season and lap a whole field to todays time when now I think this year I think the driver with the most wins has 3 wins and the last 10 years the highest amount of wins was 13 and I dont think any leader has lapped more then 3 quaters of the field in a long long time
 
BTW thanx for the info HS I just wish I knew where you get all your info from lol
 
Smack,

mebbe ya need to try and figure why drivers were able to lap the entire bifore ya get too sure of your stance. Ponder the question for a while and do some reading, the answers might surprise you.

There are more than one or two factors, many more.

I pose you one question to think about.

In 1985 Bill Elliott fell nearly two laps down at Talledega early in the race. He made that distance up on the field without a single caution flag to help him. There were sufficient laps left after he made them up to have made up another lap if necessary, however he finished on the same lap with others. Why would that be?
 
IMO, because Elliot was one hell of a driver.

The rules and allegience to dear old parity has made this sport a big moving parade, forcing drivers with incredible amounts of skill to try to win races in the pits. But that's what NASCAR fans like, we all know what they think about F1.
 
it is true through time the sport has changed alot, look at alan kuiki thats something else you prolly wont see again.

and about bill maybe he wasnt supose to be 2 laps down it wont in the script so he hurryed back and went to his position lol jk I dont know that is weird.

Today's race had a little of that old flavor to it........pit strategy and fuel milage had very little play into the outcome of the race. And a lot of people thought today's race was boring!!:)
 
Maybe so, but it had very little passing.

I can't believe I'm saying that but it's true.
 
But the people who could and did pass did it with athority!! Just like the old days!!:)
 
even though its all classified is modern theres alot of things that happened in the 70s and 80s we wont see again.
 
Bill Elliott was an awsome driver, and that Ford he drove was an aero-dynamic marvel compared to the square shaped Chevies back then. That's why he dominated the speedways.

And contrary to popular belief, the 60's and 70's were a very competitive era for racing. Fred Lorenzon, Richard Petty, David Pearson, Cale Yarborough, Bobby Allison, Bobby Isaac, Buck and Buddy Baker, Dick Hutcherson, and alot more that I havn't mentioned here are just as good as the Gordons and Jarretts and Stewerts that we have racing today. Look up Fred Lorenzon sometime. Although I like to throw Tim Richmond's name around as the best driver to ever sit behind a wheel, history will tell you that it actually might be Lorenzon. In head to head competition, he actually did much better then Pearson even, and that's saying alot.
 
Dident Harry Gant win four or five in october of 92 or somewhere around that area, I know he is considered Mr. Octorber or September its one of theose months
 
Harry Gant was MR. September with 4 in a row, Dale Earnhardt ended that streak I believe at martinsville with a win.
As far as consecutive wins in the modern era, as far as I know nobody has more than 4.
