Very well thought out and written. I’ve never been a Burton fan at all, but have always appreciated his style of driving and his off-track demeanor. When I saw Carl Edwards name on the list I was dumbfounded. The guy abruptly left NASCAR like a bad habit, then just sort of drop kicked everyone and everything about it. Even in his most recent return on television for that throwback telecast where Mark Martin joined them in the booth for a few, he stated that he didn’t even want to be there. He had to be talked into coming. I can’t see exonerating someone for something in an activity where they really could care less to relive, reminisce, or so much as revisit. To him it seemed to be just a j. o. b. Nothing more.

@@caseysmith544 but he was kicked off of something?

​@@lbf5984 AJ Foyt who only did races before the Indy car racing season would start, whatever the series was called in 1990’s.

@@extragoogleaccount6061…I say NEIL and Harry. Neil’s slightly more impressive winning percentage (18 victories in 5 full-time cup seasons of his 20 year driving career) over Rudd’s longevity (23 Cup wins over a 32 year (full and part time seasons) career.
Rudd has a much lower winning percentage.
Give it time. He’ll eventually get the HOF jacket. But this year, it should go to Neil Bonnett.

I like that pick.

@@EricEstepp Thanks man! If you’re at the race I’ll try to find you haha.

Got to meet him back in 02 at my 1st cup race at charlotte. Still have the signed picture.
