    Seeing these interviews I've turned around on Jimmie, I was a die hard Jeff fan and I didn't like the idea of ANYONE beating Jeff. But over the years listening to Jimmie talk hearing more behind the scenes he's a cool guy

      @joshawott31 As soon as Jimmie started in Cup I knew I had found my guy. He is the classiest driver ever. Even the other driver's always had so much respect for Jimmie. My fav. comment from Jeff after Jimmie won I think it was his 1st win "I think we hired the right guy". Both of them are great guys.

    Met him the year he started and my mom gave him business cards to her gulf coast suites and yea he didn’t call but he at least talked to her about it. I’ve always held resentment towards him because I always felt like they gave Jeff’s stuff to Jimmie and he just fell off when Jimmie came in and the 5 peat really damaged nascars look I’m competition but now I wish we appreciated him more the dude is so nice. Glad he didn’t beat Jeff’s win record but he is a well deserved hall o famer

      Lol its proven in Jeff Gordon's autobiography that their equipment was the same. It got in Jeff's head that he could sit in Jimmie's car and not be able to produce the same speed.
      Jimmie is the GOAT and he still doesn't get recognition for it. And I'm saying that as a huge Jeff Gordon fan

      It was never the equipment it was the crew chief. Knaus is one of the greatest just like Evernham. Both Jeff and Jimmie were unbeatable when they had them. The only difference is Jeff won a chip without his while Jimmie couldn’t win a race without his

      @@swfan4195 then Cliff turned it around with the same team Jimmie was under and proceeded to have a 2007 Johnson-type year with Larson immediately after Johnson retired. Part of it was crew chief, part of it was post-Pocono 2017 Johnson faltering. He never was the same after that crash, or hell, as said in one of the other interviews, after the 2016-17 offseason due to the never resolved quarrel about commitment between Chad and Jimmie.

      @@TimTrutone yeah the Chase is what turned me off of NASCAR. I went to over 20 races among 6 different tracks so I was a huge fan but then I only kept watching because of Gordon and once he retired I was done with it. For me personally it's hard to consider the championships legitimate when they simply reset the points with 10 races to go. And now I heard they do the stage racing thing? The sport is unrecognizable to the one I originally fell in love with. All I want is a race from the green flag to the checkered - no BS competition cautions or stage racing - and a championship awarded from the best driver from the first race of the season to the end. What they do now is simply manufactured drama by using dumb points systems to close the gap between driver skill.

    "Taking food off the table," while people go homeless and hungry every day. Great example of a selfish stock car driver that people have come to idolize.
    Thanks for exposing the truth, Graham. These people should give the food the fans gave them to those who can actually use it.
    Blessings for uncovering the excess of clothes "hidden in the closet." Jimmie Johnson is an overpaid hoarder.
