@@fozzgate8813 Richard Petty was also racing against lesser competition with less restrictions. As the competition got stiffer and the cars more equal, Petty couldn't hang. A young Richard Petty wouldn't even make it in NASCAR today.
I think Jeff Gordon gets too much shit for his personality during his success. He was actually one of the most gracious people when he gave interviews. I actually met Jeff when I had a hot pass at bristol. A very nice person
Gordon was incredibly humble for the amount of success he had and he was always very clear that he was appreciative of his fans and sponsors. He was literally the reason I watched Nascar
Same here, I'm just happy to get to use this channel as a way to relive it all. I was 11-14 years old when Jeff and the 24 ruled as Dynasty from 95-99.
Thanks so much for writing such kind words; I put all I can into creating the best quality stuff I can find on Jeff. I know I'm a little late to the game and all but I'm grateful I took my time to start when I did so that better quality stuff came out. I'm not done yet; I hope one day people can look here and say that this was one of the best Jeff Gordon channels on RUclips.
@@forty8sixtime985 I met him once in Las Vegas, he was busy at a charity poker tournament but he did take the time to sign a diecast car for me. No apology's needed, all good...
BTW, his 15 wins over the last four seasons were from 2000-03. Matter of fact, he still won more races than anyone during that span. Tony Stewart was a close 2nd with 14 wins from 2000-03. On another note, as Jeff Gordon won 15 races between 2000-03, in that span, he was ranked 1st in Top5s, Top10s, points, average finish, & laps led. So either way, he was still kicking everyone’s butt despite those 15 wins from 2000-03.
Had it not being for the chase, Jeff Gordon would have been a 7 time champion easily sealing himself among the greatest drivers in NASCAR. I honestly doubt Jimmie Johnson would have brought the sport anywhere, he never raced against the past legends of the sport .The only reason he won 5 in a row plus seven championships was mostly because of the chase format.
@@spence7985 no moron you don't know that because if not for the chase other drivers may have raced differently and its very possible that he does not lead with old rules
Agreed. The Chase is a joke. The champion is the guy that does the best over the course of the entire season. Not some guy that happens to finish well in the last few races.
Very much so.. I see Johnson maybe having 1 or 2 titles at least but nowhere near 7. He took off once they started changing the cars and not many had a grip on how they worked but Hendrick did and it was really a dire period for the circuit as Hendrick monopolized everything. Dumbest thing Jeff ever did was give Jimmie that ride with Rick. Once Jimmie took off Rick started mancrushing on Jimmie and that was that for Jeff. I see Jeff winning at least 2 more, maybe 3. 2004 he had a great year and it was his comeback year with a lot of great wins for him, and he flat out dominated in 2007 and was more consistent thsn Jimmie was with a crap pot load of top 10's. 2014 I think he could have as well.. that was his last great year. Brooke leaving Jeff was what really hurt him. It killed his ego and his passion and he wasn't the same in 2002 and 2003. On the brightside it made him a better guy and he found his real love eventually but it really hurt him in those years.
This guy was a flat out winner…I didn’t watch much Nascar back then but when I did he either won or was competing for the win every time! Love him or hate him…he just wasn’t intimidated!
Same here. Came in and went out with 24. Hated the chase and every year the points got worse. The races are a joke now. Under the old system he woukd have 7 championships and Jimmy Johnson woukd have 4. Stewart would have 3 and Truex Jr would have 2. Jr would probably have one too.
If Jeff Gordon and Ray Evernham had stayed together as long as Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus I have no doubt he would be #2 all time in wins. Maybe even the most championships too!!!
My favorite driver ever been a jeff fan since I started watching nascar, never got the hate, loved watching him and dale go at it the gay rumors use to piss me off they hated him cuz he was better than them
RC RACER 88 I would agree to disagree. Dale sure was the man tho. My raceday as a kid wasn’t complete without Ironhead tail grabbing Wonderboy. I think that’s why Jeff was a solid vet he was due to mostly Sr.
@@rcracer8872 I still get tears in my eyes watching his last race. I never liked Jeff Gordon so it's time for all the Gordon fans to shut up because there's a new kid in town and his name is William Byron. RIP Dale Earnhardt 1951-2001.
I wish a youtuber would use some kind of counter and actually count how many time Gordon could have/should have won the race. I can name so many off the top of my head. He could have probably won another 10 or 12 times putting him #2 all time. He could have another 2 or 3 at Watkins Glen Maybe another 3 at Martinsville Maybe 2 at Atlanta 2 at Richmond 1 where Keselowski wrecked him at Texas The list goes on and on. I’ve posted this quite a bit on other channels, maybe you can do it.

Actually dale watched jeff come up threw the goat cart circut and praised jeff all the time yes alot of the old gaurd had a problem with him but he brought in the younger generation this documentary is a joke trying to make drama were there wasnt any.
Kissed the 🧱 5 time's Daytona 500 champ 3 times 93 career wins and 4 REAL championships and one of two drivers to win the Winston million. Good luck trying to catch it with all these computer racers in cars now SMH
lol at that woman trying to give credit to brooke for who jeff was. women always taking too much credit. She liked the money and the fame. If he ran 38th every week, she would have never been around.
And it was not Kenseth that made the chase, Terry L won 1 race and the championship in the 80’s And by the way salty Jeff Burton, JG didn’t walk into nothing with HMS, 24 was born with Ray and JG as a new start up team, GTFOH !

Jeff will always be my racing hero. Nobody got it done quite like Gordon did. Not even Dale could win 13 races in one season..
Richard Petty won 13 with only 30 starts in 1975. No one will ever dethrone "The King" Richard Petty.

That’s more then a lot of drivers have in they’re careers . Terry labonte has 21 wins and he raced for like 30 years

Earnhardt definitely helped shape Jeff's career but they became partners and friends I think Dale saw the talent day 1
He did Dale Def saw massive talent and potential in Gordon
Those days when Gordon dominated the Winston cup circuit were the best

Dale Earnhardt way better than jeff
I got into NASCAR because of this guy and I left NASCAR with him. Was a fun ride but the Chase, among other things, ruined it for me.
GeneralKayoss couldn’t agree more. I only watch the truck series now. Cup series is a joke now with the stage racing plus the chase.

Chase f***ed Jeff too
Jeff Gordon is the main reason all of today’s drivers started racing at 8 years old lol
He also played a character similar to his name in a Pixer movie
4:25 somebody PLEASE make a GIF out of that badass shot of Jeff rolling up on the camera car in the 24
I really say had Evernham stayed with Jeff, he wins 6 titles and 100 races
You're lowballing.
Best Bio on the internet
I am a fan
Same here, have been since 1993 : )
Jeff Gordon reminds of Ayrton Senna
Aggressive, Dominating, Fast, and Raw Talent
....Juan Pablo Montoya
My favorite driver his whole career. It all just kinda fell into place for me.
Chase Elliott fan now.
"15 wins in 4 years"
If Jeff Gordon and Ray Evernham had stayed together as long as Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus I have no doubt he would be #2 all time in wins. Maybe even the most championships too!!!
Had there been no Chase, he would have 7 Championships. Add 2004, 2007, and 2014
Jeff Gordon was on a roll in the mid to late 90s to early 00s, im surprised he didnt win more than 4 titles
Im not surprised by that he was great but not even close to my favorite driver all-time Dale Earnhardt
He should've had 4 Winston cup titles in a row 95 96 97 98 but in 96 he lost to teammate Terry Labonte by 37 points even thoe he had 10 wins.
He would have had 3 more had it not been for the Chase BS that ruined NASCAR.
