Best part about that last win... I was there! :D and he beat my dad's favorite driver in JJ to do it! man I remember screaming my head off as a kid at that race. still to this day my favorite race i've ever been too!
Gordon's 2005 Talladega pepsi car and dale Earnhardt jr 's 2001 Budweiser baseball car he won at Daytona in pepsi 400may have been the strongest plate cars I ve ever seen in a race those cars could hold off three or four cars coming at them and didn't need drafting help at all
The old commentators were so good. That first race, they were just in a straight line, nothing happening, but Ken, Ned and Buddy made it sound so exciting.
Yea that was the last gen 4 cars before those shitty car of tomorrow crap. Jeff again had the best car in those restrictor plate races and led 70 plus laps. It was a fun 🤩 race to watch and a end of a great car era.🥺
@@jerradguillory7909 well, it meant more then that, that race took place the day after my dad's funeral, in which he died a couple days after Jeff tied Earnhardt in wins, that win that sunday cheered me up big time
Isaiah Mccray Compared to the 1995-1999 seasons, Jeff Gordon's success in 2000 was uncharacteristically sedate. He only won a total of 3 races in 2000 after 5 straight seasons of at least 7 wins. He won 7 times in 1995, 10 times in 1996, 10 times in 1997, 13 times in 1998, and 7 times in 1999. During each of those seasons, Jeff would often get his first win within the first three races, but it took him 9 races to win his first in 2000.
Yeah, had NASCAR stuck to the original championship format as supposed to the Chase format they run now, many say that Jeff Gordon would have 7 championships alongside Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt.
