otherwise Dale will always be #1

remember, DCs are arbitrary points totals. race wins are actual
accomplishments.

Championships are actual accomplishments much larger than individual
wins.

Only if the championship is determined in a rational manner. But when
it's possible to finish 8th in every race and yet win the
"championship", then the "championship" doesn't mean anything.

plus, gordon dethroned dale when he was at his peak, so when both were
at their best, gordon was best.

Gordon dethroned Earnhardt in 1990?

No, 95, when Dale was at his absolute best.

According to who?

the vast majority of knowledgeable race fans?

The vast majoprity of those fans are not going to claim that a driver is
at his absolute best AFTER he's finished winning championships. A driver
is at his best in the middle of winning championships.
In Earnhardt's case, that would be 1990.

It was AFTER he stopped winning championships largely BECAUSE Gordon
started winning them.

uh huh
Keep telling yourself that.
Has Gordon stopped winning them because Stewart starte?

Not likely, since stewart hasn't taken over the way gordon did.
