I'm going with this guy. He was good long before all the fancy clutches and transmissions we now have. Told me he just bought another stick car.

I think winning back to back world championships with a big block stick car in an era of stock eliminator that rewards consistency more than all out performance says an awful lot about a car and driver.

I still say Kevin Helms

1) Kevin Helms
2) Jim Waldo
3) Gary Long
4) Ben Wenzel
5) Jason McCormack

In the time period listed I'd say SE Buchanan. Lots of BIG Wallys in the shop at Kuntz & Co.

After that time period Jim Waldo and Kevin Helms are bad to the bone.

Helms is surely a top 5 player. Can't forget my hero "Jimmy Bridges".

I would hate to have to pick - and you would have to define what is meant by the "most successful" - most wins - most championships - most consistent - most friends (LOL)

I think there is room on the podium for more than one - many mentioned here

I always admired Jim Waldo and what he has able to do and I think Kevin Helms and Jim Hughes are very very good as well

All of the ones mentioned, I would say Jim Hughes from Colorado can be added to the list . gsa612

For the time period I'd go with Jimmy Bridges. Overall, Kevin Helms. Actually Chad, I think Kevin was back to back to back 2001-2003 World Champ.
Pretty impressive.

I think you're right, but I didn't want to stick my foot in my mouth
