The worst NASCAR drivers are the drivers that start all the way in the back of the pack and stay there the entire race . IE: J.J. Yeley, David Gilliand.

They're in bad equipment. Put Gordon or Johnson in that equipment, they're not going to finish much better.

Danica is in top notch equipment, and rarely gets into the top 10, and it's often a struggle for a top-20.

But, equipment isn't everything. Look at Logano.. He really didn't do much at Gibbs. He got paired up with the right team/crew chief, and is a championship contender.

Just the fact that Kurt Bush with Danica's CC and SH equipment is in the Chase proves that she is not talented enough to compete.

You put Gordon or Johnson in those back marker cars and they will finish a lot better. Still won't win but they will make those cars better simply through feel and knowing what to change. I still don't believe Danica is the worst driver out there but certainly nothing special. Mid-pack average driver. Nothing much to talk about like most of the drivers filling the grid up.

Except that most of that list of guys you mentioned have won races, like Mike W. I've never heard that D. Patrick as ever even been in serious contention to win a race.

Mikey won on restricter plate tracks in cup, same as Ragan. Take the plates away and look at their records, pretty abysmal.

The Busch brothers are fine but they are better when racing AA (trucks series) and AAA (Xfinity series) drivers than drivers in the majors (Cup series.) Put them with equal talent and they are far less as dominant.

When has JPM won oval races? Answer: NEVER! He couldn't even win Indy when he would dominate. He or his pit crew would screw it up. Plus he'd get in wrecks a lot.

You might as well list Mark Martin then.
