Throughout the history of NASCAR, the focus has mainly been on the great drivers. Names like Earnhardt, Petty, Allison, Yarborough, Gordon, Johnson, Elliott. But behind every great driver has been a great crew chief. And so, in addition to compiling a list of my Top 50 favourite drivers (coming soon), I decided to create a list of the Top 25 crew chiefs. As with any list, these rankings are subjective, just my own personal opinion.
