Consecutive Wins (Historically or Modern Day)

There are two ways of looking at this record and neither really makes you feel confident about it being broken.

The most consecutive wins in NASCAR history is 10 and that was accomplished by Richard Petty in 1967. Winning 10 races in a row is something that I can confidently say will never happen again. Then there is the ‘Modern Era’ record for consecutive wins in a row and that record currently stands at four.

Since 1972 there have been eight drivers that have been able to win four consecutive races. Those drivers are Cale Yarborough, Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt, Harry Gant, Bill Elliott, Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. Despite eight drivers hitting four consecutive wins in the last 40+ years, none of them were able to win a fifth in a row.

The talent and competition level in NASCAR currently makes winning even five consecutive races seem impossible.
