No contest.............Andretti.
With biggest last name I presume it means biggest family tree? Because there were quite a few famous 'Hills' for example, but not all related.
McRae. :s mokin:
Patrick :D
Strangely, no-one mentioned Villenueve....
Makinen :DQuote:

A quick non-scientific poll of drinking partners revealed that all of them (in the 35-45 age bracket....sadly I'm not 'hip' enough to know anyone younger to ask) had at least heard of Mario Andretti.
No-one had heard of the others, but then NASCAR has not got any recognition in Europe, so it's not exactly a surprise.
For example, somebody asked if Earnhardt was married to Eva Longoria!
