>> I DONT REMEMBER ANY DRIVERS DOMINATING UNTIL THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS WHEN ELECTRONICS HAVE TAKEN OVER THIS SPORT.

Wasn't class racing, but names like Chip Horton, and Steve Taylor (RIP) come to mind. Ray Thurston won the track championship at Beaver Springs 4-5 years in a row, then Brad Adams won it 6 years in a row. When Thurston started out, they didn't show R/T's, and he slaughtered people. When they started showing R/T's, everyone found out that he was .040's all the time, and everyone else was.... much worse!
