Richard Petty 200 wins.
Jimmie Johnson, who has 5 straight championships, is already 35 years old and is 147 wins behind him. Johnson would have to average more than 29 wins out of the 36 races a year the next 5 years to catch him. He has averaged 7 the last five seasons.
NASCAR has become so competitive that there is no way in hell anybody will reach 200 wins. In comparison Jeff Gordon has 82 and Dale Earnhardt has 76. The second closest driver, David Pearson, is 95 wins away.
NASCAR is a sport, so fuck you. Richard Petty's record still counts.
