That was my first thought too. Great drivers, but you can’t be the greatest at the Speedway if you never raced there.
Sorry aussie, but I disagree with about 95% of your list. First, 4 time winners have to be on the front row, put Foyt, Unser, and Mears in whatever order you want. Remember, this is the greatest at the SPEEDWAY, not greatest careers. No JR, 3 time winner. No Johncock, 2 time winner. Sneva had 1 win and broke the 200 mph barrier. Will Power has run the race 3 times. He’s the 17th greatest of 732 drivers? Bourdais, 2 times, 13th best? Come on. Roberto Moreno? Nothing to say on that, that’s just comical. I think you need to be a little more objective in your list. It’s not supposed to be your personal favorite list of drivers. Also, this race has been run for 100 years. About 95% of the drivers drove in the recent 50 year period. Pretty sure 3 time winners Wilber Shaw, Louie Meyer, and Mauri Rose belong. I know this is an opinion thing, but you might want to look at some history.
