He won a ton of races and the statistics make his greatness pretty evident, but there are more than a handful of guys who won a bunch as well and won them in a much cleaner fashion, overall.

Of course there was controversy surrounding Rich Vogler. Like Scott said, Rich was a polarizing figure in racing. IMO, it is a bit out of place to try to drag a deceased driver through the mud, on a thread where fans of his are just memorializing him, on the anniversary of his death. There's a time and a place for everything.
