    First mistake is reading Sports Illustrated for anything MotorSports related.

    Gee..no discussion on how accurate those 15 names are? I would say pretty damned accurate, not that it was really that tough.

    For SI, that actually was a pretty good article......just explaining the obvious I suppose but hey, people like lists.

    Agreed. Forget who did the list but ask yourself how accurate it is. I tend to think that it is probably pretty close. Maybe a few changes could be made but it is actually close to reality.

    I dare say that without Bruton and Humpy, there may be no night racing. First track with lights was Lowe's. And people thought that they were NUTS.

    I think for the most part, quite accurate. One would have to include Bruton/Humpy.

    Also, Richard Childress is missing.

    Brian France is a violation of Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing)

    I dont think drivers have power. maybe a little influance over the fans but not much more than that.

    Remember when they tried to start a drivers union and nascar banned Turner and Flock. "This is NASCAR's show" i believe was nascars comment.

    Plus theres probably a few people with alot of power who us common folk have never and will never have heard of.
