I remember this race and while I watched it, I had feeling of dejavu. Charlotte motor speedway 1996 he had a 111 point lead, started overheating. Ray Evernham called him in and put water in it. Later it blew up. He nearly lost the point lead because Terry Labonte won the race. I think that Charlotte cost him the championship in 1996. The chase cost him the championship in 2004, 2007 and 2014. In my mind he is an 8 time champion. NASCAR watered down the racing and has ruined this sport.
You are exactly right In my mind he is a 8 time champion you can think Brian France for that I am glad his ass got what was coming to him but the problem is he has money so shit won't happen to him drinking and high as hell on oxycodone driving on the road he should at least get a year in jail
He would definitely have 6. Had he not blown that 100+ pt lead with a few races left in 1996, that would make 7. 2004 would be the tossup. Johnson had a big pt lead, and his team started experimenting with things because they knew his lead would be erased when the Chase started. He had several DNF's before the reset that knocked his pts lead down. Had there not been a Chase, they wouldn't have done any experimentation and probably beat Gordon in points that year.
@@daniellongworth7513 Haha....but who's you're driver again? 4 Championships and 93 wins and I think 81 poles, isn't bad. Almost 800 starts... you guys are right above the points Championship didn't change he would have at least seven. But it is what it is and I haven't watched NASCAR since 2015.
Woah. I heard the announcers say something as if it were relavant that I haven't heard in 10 years...."points". Remember when points actually mattered and it wasn't just about getting that one win and move on? I miss those days.
This was the race that i became a Jeff fan. I know i was late to the party because of age, but it was still a good ride and i wouldn't go back and start rooting for any other driver. 2007 was a fun year to be a Jeff fan. Albeit, bittersweet year because of how he was robbed of a championship.

I remember watching this race,I've never been so nervous in my whole life.
I was too!
Same, until martinsville of 2015.
Me too!
Was at this race. The only race I got to see Jeff win. Memories that will last forever!
iTrevor lucky! Was a dream of mine went to races every year never seen him win one in person but seen him win a lot from my couch lol!
Got to see him that year in the fall race at Talladega it was a awesome feeling that day I will never forget it
I only witnessed one win in person as well - 2015 Martinsville! One of the greatest moments of my life.

Stanley Steamer was steaming for the win well done JG well done
I just miss seeing Jeff Gordon on the track so much
I honestly thought that car was going to blow up. I was so amazed it held up
Man I miss them days I wish we can go back in time
Larry Mac taking shots at nascar fans in dega and phoenix for being knuckledraggers
un o.
No Johnson and Gordon would have won his 5th Championship this year! oh well!!
Every race waltrip has something against Gordon and he is always proven wrong.
I don't think he really liked jeff
What Nascar's ever changing points shit show has taken from this man...
Ah 2007... the season that officially ended my diehard fandom of the sport. The fact that Gordon didn't win the title that year is inexcusable.
A drive-by robbery 😤
Jeff Gordon Edits Used to watch every practice, qualifying, race etc. After that year I stopped doing that. Once he retired I quit watching completely
@@NathanRyanAllen Yeah, same. Once he walked away from the sport so did I.
You are damm right he should have 30 top ten finishes 6 wins and lead a fuck ton of laps
me too, last time I watched a full nascar season, then i completely stopped after 2015
Woah. I heard the announcers say something as if it were relavant that I haven't heard in 10 years...."points".

the first win in a while where crap did not get thrown at his car
One of my favorite Jeff Gordon Southern 500 victories, a steaming car and still won.
Remeber when the front matched the rear bumper, No problem?? Ahh the days..
Man I will always be a fan of jeff,Jimmie,Dale jr
This was the fifth races for the coft and Hendrick won a five
💕 sss on 🔥 DARLINNN 😘 sss
Lmfao dw like gordon will never make it
He won but he did not look pretty behind the wheel of the DuPont 24 Chevrolet
Darrell Waltrip is Not a 24 fan 😆
YAHS_Servant 84 not true
Came back here after Steve Letarte explained why they stayed out. This win was remarkable.
