In terms of wins (10)you are correct, however Jeff Gordon would have won the championship under the old system. He had like an average finish for the season of 7th I believe absolutely insane consistency
Good point but remember if that old system was still used in 2007 they would’ve raced each other differently due to the different format back then so who knows it could’ve been a better chase for the champion
I remember it like it was yesterday, the debut of that (in my opinion) hip and sleek silver Kobalt paint scheme, great racing with the Gen-4 car, and an exciting duel in the final laps.
Yeah, makes one wonder what would have happened. Would the team still merge with DEI later in the season? Would he have had a chance for a title? I have heard, though, that if he would have won the Daytona 500 he would have retired then and there. If that happened, I could never blame him for walking away with the points lead.
Well if you actually followed NASCAR you'd have known he wanted to retire after 2005 but came back because Roush wanted him to so 2006 was supposed to be his last. Some drivers start retirement by only racing part time.
Underrated race. I've always thought 2007 was kinda mid compared to 2005 and 2006, mostly because the Hendrick cars were so dominant it wasn't as exciting This race was great tho, it's a shame it's not well remembered
This was the first ever NASCAR race I have watched. Was told in Summer of 2006 that I should be a Tony Stewart fan when my was working for Sprint and he went to the NASCAR race and got a garage pass. Finally caught on watching this and lets say I did not like Jimmie Johnson for about 7 years. lol.
