He can win in anything.

When you think of it, Jeggie has already "taken the car out of the equation". He flat out can win in anything he straps hisself into.

I think you may be exactly right.

Oh, and yeah...i'd say Jeg Jr. is number 1 for the current driver pick. Jeg CURRENTLY wins in Top Dragster (frequently) and NHRA Pro Stock. And, in recent years he has won on Pro and Full Tree's with no Delay Boxes and with Boxes...That's pretty diverse.
As far as past, you've got a great point. Austin proved (after Indy of course) that he could drive a Top Fuel Dragster pretty well (but it was short lived) and he was "THE MAN" in TAFC, but...I would give WAR a TON of credit as well.
"Large Father" was a very solid driver for many decades, but focused on Dragsters for most of his career...and was known by most as a Rail-bender. But, his performance was also a KEY in his success.
I'm wondering if there is a "Driver" out there who drove cars that wasn't always the 'fastest', who captured more wins on his Reaction Time, racing in multiple categories...heck, even multiple categories with the SAME car at the same event....???
PERHAPS ANOTHER "BIG" guy???
I'd agree with him 100% btw with this pick as he was my FAVORITE Driver of ALL TIME!

I think Larry Dixon Jr. said it best, If Big had raced NHRA his entire career just think of the numbers he would have put up. Thats something to ponder as well, not only his huge success in NHRA but in IHRA, AHRA and other events.

If it's not these two, something's wrong and Big Jim needs to straighten it out

Pat was the first to do the double, but I'd still rate Jeggie as better given his success behind the wheel of all the different type of cars. Would be interesting to see a comparison of the two on the tree though
