- After a relentless team effort to fix a terrible car, Jeff would shock everyone by going on to utterly dominate at the Brickyard, leading 124 of 161 laps (77%) en route to his fourth win at Indy.

Man, that paintjob. Favorite ever. Brings back a lot of childhood memories
This win came just hours after my first daughter was born. Great day indeed!
Jeff Gordon: One of the best this sport has ever seen and will ever see.
Those last 15 or so laps of that race I remember had me so nervous just because he hit that’s piece of debris and chipped the right front fender.
The most dominant win in Brickyard 400 history. #24Ever #TheGOAT
Look at that crowd. Listen to those engines. Man, idk if it was because I was 10, but 2004 seemed like such a better/simpler/more fun time watching racing. If only we knew how good we had it when we did… it was too big to fail.
Just look how full the grandstands are back then. Huge track and not an open seat all around the track.
Plus another 20 on the infield
I was 14 years old at the time and was there. I miss when NASCAR always sold out races
IMO, the best gen of Nascar stock cars!
Nice
Jeff was one the best if him and Ray stay togather no telling really he won nearly a hundred races just in cup and I say he good drive these new cars to love to see him give it a try just to see if he could not pull off a few more races
I agree with you to a point. They had worked well together during most of their time together. In 1999, they were having a "bad" season, with "only" 5 wins and multiple DNFs and this was coming off an unbelievable 13 win season plus 26 top 5s and 28 top 10s, I think.
Frustration set in during 99 and Ray knew there was nothing they could do to measure up to the 98 season. Thankfully he left the team when he did. We don't know what kind of toxicity would had come from it had he stayed. Too many bridges would have been burnt and they wouldn't have the stronger relationship they still have to this day.
Only if they found a way to keep it like the 98 season would they have kept winning even more, but then I feel like it would have taken a toll in another way. There may have been a burnout among multiple team members and things may not have been appreciated as much.
As disappointed as I was when Ray and Jeff's team split, in hindsight, it was the best thing for everyone, including the competition.
Just some of my thoughts on it.
Thank you!
Happy to share it, hope it was fun to relive it
How many times did Jeff win the Brickyard 400?

1994, 1998, 2001, 2004, and 2014. All of them were awesome wins!
@@Arientis very much true!!!!
I wish Robbie Loomis would have stayed he was very underrated crew chief . Him and Jeff gelled to gather really well.
@@robertrobinson9920 I wish Ray woulda stayed. Who knows what coulda been....
@@raplottrpj I definitely think at least one more championships who knows how many wins with robbie Loomis. I hated when ray decided to leave the team . I am with you if ray would have stayed there is know telling how many more championships and wins they would have to gather.
Look at that crowd
Never saw a driver own a track like Jeff owned indy
Just wish you had the 16:9 version of this race.
Immortal you’re wrong. I remember back in 2015, NASCAR on NBC was doing NBC throwback races on NBCSN prior to their coverage return for the July 2015 race at Daytona. And they actually showed a widescreen footage of the 2004 Brickyard 400. It wasn’t cropped or stretched, it was a perfect 16:9 frame they put out.
Immortal still don’t believe me? Here’s a link ruclips.net/video/F--EFnb9c4M/видео.html.
Immortal it was the only video I could find my friend. But you can tell it was in 16:9 because as Jeff Gordon was coming down the front stretch for the checker flag, you can see more of Kasey Kahne’s car in the background in 4th place. The 4:3 footage doesn’t give you that.
Immortal I’m telling you that there was a widescreen version of this because I remember watching it on NBCSN back in 2015! Even I was shocked to see something like that exist in 2004 because I had always thought it came out a few short years later! It’s the truth! You got to believe me!

What was the deal with that nascar official all over jeff
Why were there cops surrounding Jeff Gordon after the race 😂😂😂😂
What was up with security and officials being such jerks
I don't think he was supposed to stop on the track and get out, he was supposed to have driven it straight to VL so they were a bit peeved at him for that, I doubt Jeff cared though, he celebrated his way and it was awesome.
