Two champions, two legends, and one heated debate: Tony Stewart vs Kevin Harvick. On paper, Stewart might seem like the obvious pick, with three Cup Series titles compared to Harvick’s one. But the numbers don’t tell the whole story. Dig deeper, and Harvick’s resume starts to punch back hard. From Crown Jewel races to sheer longevity, this battle gets a lot more complicated and fun to debate.

• Stewart’s got the titles, but Harvick owns the Crown Jewels: 3 Brickyards, 2 Coke 600s, and the elusive Daytona 500
• Harvick edges Stewart in total wins, 60 to 49, and did it mostly in the brutal playoff era
• Stewart holds a slight edge in win percentage, but that gap is razor-thin
• And without Stewart creating Stewart-Haas Racing, does Harvick even get this level of success?

There’s no denying the influence Stewart had on Harvick’s career, but there’s also no denying Harvick made the most of it. So, who comes out on top, Smoke or The Closer? Dive into the legacy, the numbers, and the untold backstories in our full feature. Watch the full breakdown and sound off: who’s YOUR pick?
