Who was the best Grand national Driver on dirt

BETCHA DIDNT KNOW THIS or maybe you didRichard Petty made history when he won a 200-lap race at the half-mile State Fairgrounds Raceway in Raleigh on September 30, 1970. It was the 42nd race of the season, the 989th major event in NASCAR history,and the last dirt-track Cup race in NASCAR ever sanctioned.Petty, driving his familiar No. 43 Plymouth, started sixth, and led one time for 112 laps to post the victory. It was the 15th win of the season and 117th of his career.As he was in most areas of NASCAR racing, Petty was one of the tour's best dirt-track racers. But the Petty listed No. 1 in the NASCAR record book under"most dirt-track wins" is Lee Petty, who got 43 of his 54 career victorieson dirt-tracks in the '50s and early '60s.REAL RACE FANS KNOW THAT Dirt's For Racing, Asphalt's For Getting There.That oughta make'em race on dirt at least twice a year!

Curtis Turner was the best dirt driver in NASCAR. Tiny was one of the best, too.

From what I saw live and in person.Curtis TurnerHerb Thomas, of cource he was driving a Modified (Hudson Hornet)They called them Grand Nationals, but they were as close to a Modified as you could get.

richard was listed as # 1 in nascar grand nationals series only the same cars that ran the big tracks--not a modified or purpose built car curtis,hurb and tiny were great all around in sportsman and modified

Curtis "Pops" Turner. He had over 360 NASCAR wins, not all on dirt, and was banned in 1961 for Life from NASCAR for attempting to organize a drivers union but was re-instated in 1965. He died in a plane crash in 1970. "Pops" was one of the best on dirt.Johnny. We know that dirt is just a learning ground for asphalt. When you are running real fast and get into trouble on the asphalt you will know what to do to recover.

All those listed but also Tiny Lund and his friend put on some amazing dirt races the great Tiger Tom Pistone
