 Dale Earnhardt Earnhardt's passionate all-or-nothing driving style -- and modest everyman background -- made him a fast fan favorite. His dominance didn't hurt any, either. Earnhardt co-holds the record for most Cup Series championships (seven) with Richard Petty. Earnhardt also won on the biggest stages. He is the all-time leader in race victories at Daytona International Speedway with 34, though the most prominent of them was a while in the making. In 1998, Earnhardt won his most coveted race -- the Daytona 500.
