Bill Elliot has won it the most times, with 16. (The award will be renamed for him when he fully retires) (1984-88, 1991-2000, 2002) Richard Petty has won it 9 times. (1962, 1964, 1968, 1970, 1974-1978) Dale Earnhardt Jr and Bobby Allison have won it 6 times each. (Allison: 1971-73, 1981-1983; Dale Jr: 2003-2008) Fred Lorenzen, David Pearson and Darrell Waltrip have each won it twice. (Loenzen: 1963, 1965; Pearson: 1979-80; Waltrip: 1989-90) The following have each won it once: Curtis Turner (1956, the first year the award was given out) Fireball Roberts (1957) Glen Wood (1958) Junior Johnson (1959) Rex White (1960) Joe Weatherly (1961) Darel Dieringer (1966) Cale Yarborough (1967) Bobby Issac (1969) Dale Earnhardt, Sr (2001, after Bill Elliot asked fans to vote for Dale instead following Dale's death at Daytona)

I personally think it is Richard "The King" Petty. 200 wins, 7 championships and one of the first five inducted into the hall.

I can't argue with choosing "The King", but I'm going with Dale Earnhardt Sr. He brought racing to the next level. He also has 7 championships and was part of the Hall of Fame's inaugural class.
