Dan Gurney, for one.
Montoya, for two (66.7%, if you count Cup Lite races)
Al Keller, if you count the original Daytona course as a road course (I'm only about 30% sure of this answer)

The rest will require some research.

Re: Best NASCAR Road Racers

According to my source (which I'll reveal in a later post ) here's the records of the drivers mentioned to date:
  • Dan Gurney 5/9 - 55%
  • Juan Montoya 1/2 - 50%
  • Al Keller 1/5 - 20%
  • Buck Baker 1/20 - 5%
  • Jody Ridley 0/7 - 0%
  • David Pearson 4/25 - 16%
  • Cale Yarborough 3/19 - 16%
  • Tony Stewart 6/18 - 33%
  • Billy Wade 2/7 - 29%
Keep'em comin', there's 35+ more winners to choose from. There are 11 road courses included in these statistics. Yes, Bob, the Daytona Beach course is one of them.

good try tkj, but I'm smarter than the average duck .. I know how to ask similar questions with completely different answers

Dan Gurney is the only driver on this list that is a correct answer to this question and Jody Ridley didn't have any wins on a road course!
