Dale Earnhardt Seven championships, seventy-six wins and all in the modern era. There is no doubt that "The Intimidator" is the best that NASCAR has ever seen. He was a master on the track and equally good with the press. Dale Earnhardt left us while still on top of his game. He certainly had many more wins in front of him and a great shot at his eighth championship
Richard Petty Seven championships and 200 wins. However, I rank him below Earnhardt because most of those wins came in a different era of NASCAR. It was much easier to dominate back then than it is now. Still and forever "The King."
Darrell Waltrip No, not the DW from the late 90's, I mean the DW that has won eighty-four races and 3 championships. When he was on top of his game he was obnoxiously good. Now he is continuing to build his legend in the Fox broadcst booth.

Meteorology
Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and its phenomena.
Meteorologists are scientists who study the atmosphere and its phenomena. Many also interpret weather maps and make forecasts.
Clouds
The three main types of clouds are:
Cirrus clouds
Cirrus clouds are wispy in appearance, and resemble horsetails (they are sometimes called mares' tails). They are among the highest clouds, forming at elevations of 25,000 feet and above, where the temperatures are far below freezing. Cirrus clouds are formed almost entirely of tiny ice crystals.
Cumulus clouds
Cumulus clouds are "fair weather" clouds and are unlikely to produce precipitation. They form in warm air on sunny days. Cumulus clouds can form at almost any altitude, with bases sometimes as high as 14,000 feet.
Cumulus clouds are clouds of vertical development and may grow upwards dramatically under certain circumstances. The updrafts may be caused by heating of the air by the ground surface (common in the eastern and midwestern US), the action of a cold front, or to temperature differences between land and ocean (common in Florida and the southeastern US).
The vertical air curents results in towering clouds with an anvil head on top called cumulonimbus clouds. The anvil head forms in the tropopause (about 6 - 8 miles up). These clouds are sometimes referred to as "thunderheads". They can produce heavy rain, thunder and lightning, and sometimes hail. They occur chiefly in summer.
Cumulonimbus cloud
Another type of cumulus cloud is the altocumulus cloud, which sometimes resembles fish scales. They sometimes have dark, shadowed undersides.
Altocumulus clouds
Stratus clouds
Stratus clouds are low clouds, ranging in height from near the earth's surface up to 6,500 feet. Stratus clouds form flat layers or uniform sheets. Only a fine drizzle can form from stratus clouds because there is no vertical development.
