jeff never gets tired of winning, you can just see it in his emotions!
jeff gordon is my favorite drive. drive to end hunger
I have been a fan of Jeff Gordon his entire stock car career. I am a native of indiana, and when NASCAR came to indy back in the 90's, true fans of Jeff probably lost the chance of him ever getting in an Indy car... I am fortunate to work for a company that sponsors Jeff and his race team and for the past 8 years, I have been blessed to be in the Dupont hospitality tent the day of the race. I have been there in that tent for 3 of his 4 wins @ indy... He spoke each time before he won the race.
Awesome to be able to watch this back again!
#85 Shouldve happened a week sooner at Bristol. I was on the front row of the start finish just knowing he was gonna win #85 that night and I was gonna be right there to celebrate it. Either way here's to the greatest damn driver of our time! 85 and more to come. Championships too! JG24EVER!
Yes he is a 4 time champion but if the points system never changed he would be a 6 time champion. He would have won the title in 2004 and 2007.
I could, not, breathe those last 15 laps. Had the TV on mute, listening to the radio coverage and watching real time telemetry on my ipad. I miss trackpass..... Way to go Jeff!
he has been my favorite forever.. when i was 5, i started watching him ;D.
same! Back in 1997, first cup race at texas
Unreal! What a GREAT way to get your historic 85th! What can you say about one of the best all-time drivers.....just wish my damn dvr would have recorded this instead of me having to google the ending. GO GORDON!!!!!
Jeff has had cars like this for most of the second half of the year, even in the Chase, but his luck has been absolutely TERRIBLE. Wrecks, fuel cell issues, mechanical issues, and betrayal at Talladega...he's had awesome cars week in and week out. I love his chances to win multiple races again with Alan at the helm.
Yeah, but there really was nobody better than him in 2007, he earned almost 5500 points just on his finishes that season. And under the old format, he would have clinched at Texas despite Jimmie winning that race
Anybody else who's done it 85+ times would get tired of it. Just goes to show how much this sport means to not only him, but every driver who wins. Well, Jimmie Johnson celebrates, but he's not emotional about his wins. He just wins, "Oh it was great!" then walks away.
Wonderful win for JG and what a fantastic finish... wowww !! Nice run of JJ tough, all in slide at 200 mph ! omg
Yep. Hope he wins on his last race. That would be a happy last day of racing for him.
I hope he wins this week at Indy!
Exactly. Chad Knaus openly admits that the 48 team doesn't push itself to it's full potential until the chase is on, so who knows how hard they'd race, what chances they'd take, etc. if the old system was in place.
the king has returned :-)
After my dad my second fav driver of all time
This was a true example of driving skill and determination to win from both drivers! After winning #85, Jeff Gordon has now become a true legend in Nascar! Now if JG can win 20 more, he can tie for 2nd all time with David Pearson
good job jeff
i dont care what the chase says. Dale Sr. won 7 championships under a proper point system; whoever hast he most points at the end of the season wins it. Simple and it make sense. Gordons a six time champ. Sure some say im delirious, but ppl who think Jimmie is better than jeff, their delirious!
Jr will win the championship. He was the best average finisher in the chase races this year with a average 6.2. If Jr runs those chase races like he did earlier this year, the championship is his.
I think the ending of this race clearly shows how talented of a driver Jeff Gordon is. Yes, his team and crew chief are fantastic too, giving him a great car, but he deserves a TON of credit for driving the car that good when it was loose and he had a 5-time champion just feet behind him with a couple of laps to go. That was a fantastic show of pure driving talent by the best DRIVER ever in NASCAR, PERIOD.
I predicted number 85 would come this year after he won Phoenix. GO get 'em Jeff for your Drive for 5!!!!!
DRIVE FOR FIVE !!! JEFF GORDON, HE'S THE MAN !!!
GO JEFF GORDON, GO JEFF GORDON, GO!!!!!!! 😃 💙
I saw this i was sooo happy
Amen to that brother.
Jeff Gordon SHOWED why he is a better driver then Jimmie Johnson, Johnson had a better car but Gordon held still him off. If it wasn't for the chase he would have 6 titles. Jeff is def one of the top 3 drivers of all time.
Easily the best finish of 2011. Not a BIG fan of either driver, but I know Gordon is the better of the two, and he shows that here. Johnson is smart guy, but he's carried by Knaus.
Yes
for the win!!!!!
6 times, 1995, 97, 98 2001, 04, 07. 2004 and 2007 he got stolen from him because of the chase.

YEAH JEFF GORDON GO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
@MrElculver2424 Well said. Gordon is on a roll this year, and I am soooo hoping that this will be the year he gets his 5th chanpionship. In my opinion, he is THE best. GO #24
I was so Happy That Day... Go #24!
Don't change the subject -_-. Were talking about dale earnhadt and jeff gordon here
I don't understand you people who seem to discount all the championships Jimmie or anybody else wins under the chase system. You don't know how the teams would race under the older system today. Sometimes drivers have to drive more conservatively to stay in the top 10 instead of taking chances for a win, pit strategy might be less risky, etc. because of the chase. You can't look at the chase seasons and say "well if it were the old system," because they aren't racing like it's the old system.
Oh he will. Let's just hope there is no mistakes with the pit crew or him being on the wrong spot at the wrong time.
@steelcagechaos1 That's all right. Not that he and Alan have a full season under their belts, I think they'll be much better in 2012. Remember 2007, after Gordon and LeTarte had one full season under their belts? It was an incredible season, and Alan and Jeff were getting better and better as this season went on. I expect better things next year.
Well on THAT note, the last time Dale Sr. won a title was 1994. So you've still got no arguement. Besides, 85>76. Meaning Jeff has more wins than Dale Sr., the same guy who said and I quote, "2nd's only best loser."
oh by far he is the best
3rd all time!!!!! 24 all the way suckers!!!!
7>4
HELL YEA JIMMIE GETIN FUCKING SCHOOLED
go gordon thats my boy
dam right!!! go 24!!! i smell a drive for 5!!! finally!!!
His pit crew was so slow at Indy. JJ won, too. ARRRRGHHH!!!!!!!!!
@blkmarket Gordon used to be kind of a wild driver wrecking people left and right in his early years. I would assume that lead to a lot of people disliking him. Plus in any sport when a team or in this case driver wins a lot they get booed just because they are good. Gordon has more control now on the track and because of not winning a championship in so long I think it has made fans forget why they disliked him in the first place. I'm no Gordon fan but it was nice to see him win today...
i love him :) lol
I watched it
God Bless you Jeff , I know you have had bad times and good but Gd is riding with you my man > Jesus died for us and you drive a great race!!!
Yep. He looked strong. But at least a HMS car won.
Jimmie Johnson disliked this
if it wasnt for jeff, jimmie wouldnt be in hendrick motorsports or the sprint cup series at all
Say, don't that remind you of something? I believe it was about 10 years ago at this track during the Busch/Nationwide race when a young man driving the Baby Ruth Ford for Bill Davis drove a loose as crap car to a win? lol
true story
I actually missed this race when it was on. Part of me was upset because I missed being able to witness a JG victory, but part of me was glad because watching those final few laps would have surely given me a heart attack.
in my opinion gordon is better than earnhart because back in the 80s when earnhardt won alot there werent very many challengers. back then you knew there would be a few drivers you knew who would be the winner. now these days the competition level is harder and gordon got to the 76 wins faster than earnhardt did
GO24!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He must have 2 accounts.
jimmie is about as good as Jeff, however Jeff is very, very awesome. classy, classy guy.
And Chad Knaus
Last time gordon won was 2001 though...
@MrElculver2424 Jimmie had a way better car..but Jeff flat out outdrove him. This was awesome. Sucks he's had such bad luck in the chase..but if he and gustafson get it all together next year they're deff championship material
@rshcry24 indeed his luck has been the worst ever but he will be back next taking names and laying wins down like only jeff gordon can do 24 forever.....
I know right you a jeff Gordon fan if u are then message me back this year he needs to win a race for once in this year
Not necessary. If the points system was different drivers might of drove different to get points.
@steelcagechaos1 Well, regardless, he had the worst luck of anybody I've seen, and that just helped to illustrate my point.
Best of the best right there! Go 24!!!
When was the last time Jr. won a Cup title? Yeah, that's what I thought. Mr. Greatest Driver at HMS. Doesn't even have a championship.
i'd like to see Jeff hit between 90-100 wins. 95 seems like a good number, at least 90 wins before his career ends. And that 5th championship would be pretty cool too.
Yes he is
Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Dale Sr. was one of the best, but Dale would in no way, shape, or form have 10 titles. Hell, the last title he got was 1994, and he was going to be 50 years old. And Jeff has beaten Dale Sr. to the line at many tracks on many occasions. I don't wanna say Jeff>Dale or vise versa, but they're both talented, and Dale's already in the HOF- Jeff's going to join after he retires. Dale Jr.'s gonna make it too, but not 'cause of his "talent."
@youlox123456789 damn right!!!. :-)
Glad I became a Jeff Gordon fan at Birth
Now lets see the same thing next week at Atlanta
Based on the Dale Earnhardt Sr. points system Jeff Gordon is a 6 time champion.
Yeah jeff gordon good job win the championship
Do not repave this track. Ever.
Jeff gordon is going to win this week!
Yea because the stupid chase allows everyone to have a shot at the championship even if the dont deserve it so yea if there was no chase jeff would have 6 2004 and 2007 and jimmie would only have 3...
MOTHERFUCKING YES!
I think you're forgetting that the only reason Jeff lost 2004 and 2007 was 'cause of the stupid chase format. Jeff would only be one championship behind Dale Sr. if it weren't for the chase. Besides, I'd rather have 4 Winston Cup championships than 2 Busch Series championships. Plus, you look at those 85 wins: 3 of them were Daytona 500s- something Dale Sr. won only once. 4 of them were Brickyard 400s- also something Dale Sr. won only once. I could go on, but I'm outta characters.
Gordon= 4 championships
Dale Earnhardt= 7 championships. I'd rather have 7 championships then 85 wins
technically he tied bobby allison from dis win, he surpassed him dafollowing year after all, allison claims he still has 85 career wins and he's sticking wit it. still jeff gordon, no bout adoubt it a nascar hall of famer man wiit his dominance he shoulda been inducted maybe before da place even opened.
Wrecked LOL
Not looking so goo right now, is he? lol
He would have 2 Championships. 2006 and 2009.
@cmiddick tony stewart won
get your facts right
85>76
I'm sure Jimmie would have won many championships if they didn't run the chase. Everyone's mentality would be different. They wouldn't use the first 26 as test races essentially. I think people forget Jimmie led the points in his rookie year and won 3 races. In his second season he finished 2nd in the championship. Like Tony said, there is no discussion about the point system. It's not the old system. Everyone knows that. They run for the chase. Anyway, Jimmie has 60+ wins in roughly 11 seasons
7>4 lol.
ummm no sorry dude but dale earnhardt is the greatest driver in the histor of nascar. ya its true that jeff has more wins then dale but that only bcuz he died in a wreck that anybody could have died in but it just happened to be dale. He would at least won 10 championships if he headnt been in that wreck. And YES he WAS pursuied by a 5 time but what if he was pursuied by a time time dale sr.? then no he would have not won that race. DALE SR. IS THE BEST RACER IN NASCAR HISTORY PERIOD!
