Top 100+ NASCAR Southwest Tour Drivers Of All-Time (129-101)

For more information on this list, please refer to the preview that I posted several weeks ago. This will tell you how I made the rankings. To get a better sense of where each driver ranked, I weighted each category. It's too complicated to put down at this time but I think the final results help make the rankings more truthful to where each driver should be placed. Remember, these rankings are based solely on what these drivers accomplished in the NASCAR Southwest Tour Series.

With that, here are drivers 129 through 101.
