Here it is career win #87..One of my favorite wins because it took place in Miami my home town have been waiting forever to see Jeff win here it finally happened! Thanks to ESPN and LuisAlbertoPerez2008 for posting it here on youtube.
Gordon showed he doesn't just race to earn a pay check after phoenix. This guy still has the fire to give it his all and that's why I'll always be a Jeff Gordon fan.
Before his win on Sunday, he had the most Top 5's, Top 10's of any driver. He was also one of a few drivers to run every Cup race at Homestead, yet didn't have the win. He won the Nationwide race there in 2000 in his 24 Pepsi car, but I was jumping because I picked him to win, and now he gets rid of the goose egg at Homestead. He will win in 2013, and one of them will be the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway, and he will win at every track. 10th in 2011, 5th in 2012, you can see the pattern.
Now we are all waiting for #88. Just hope that he wins this year so he can get into the chase. He deserves more than 4 championships. this chase thing is a good idea but not during a regular season.
After Jeff gave up the win yesterday, I'm starting to believe that he just doesn't have the will to win anymore. Kasey Kahne did have the best car all day long but Jeff could have held him off if he restarted on the high line, preventing Kahne from passing, keeping Jeff in clean air, and driving to the victory While I pull for Jeff every weekend, he just seems to be giving up victory after victory whenever he can pull one off. I'm just glad he's in the top 10 in points.
Other than winning the 2012 Championship, this is the best way for Jeff and DuPont to go out: winning their last race together. Although the company that bought DuPont will continue to sponsor JG, it won't be the same. 20 years together. The end of a phenomenal era! Like a race fan said on Twitter today, this is the equivalent of STP and Richard Petty in the early years. Jeff will continue to win and be competitive, but it's a shame it won't be with the DuPont logo on the hood.
hey rainbowwarriors24 had no idea you were from miami!! I love your channel and want to thank you for posting all the videos of jeff's wins and its great to know i have such a diehard fellow #24 fan in my home city
Hope he gets to 100. if he does he will probably announce his retirement after the race it will be very sad as a gordon fan my whole life (born in 1998 and started watching nascar at daytona 2005 been watching every race since)
glad he won this race now it's time to go get that daytona 500 again and then win not only the southern 500 at darlington, the coke 600 at charlotte in may but as well as the brickyard 400 at indy in august not to mention on his birthday of all days. to win another championship u have to win the big races in cup and ik jeff has all the talent in the world to do it and if he can do that and win at kentucky too he'll be the sprint cup champion in 2013 i can promise u that guys.
Yeah, your right, I'm dreading those days. He might race the 2015 season...Idk. I just don't think he will be racing too much longer. He wants to spend time with his family. I think 2013 will be one of the best seasons for Jeff and #Team24. Just one more championship!
I just realized that the last 4 seasons (2009-2012) that the driver who won at homestead made the chase -the next season. 2009 Denny hamlin 2010 2nd in points 2010 Carl Edwards 2011 2nd in points 2011 tony Stewart 2012 8th in points Do the math I wouldn't be surprised if it came down to Jimmie and Jeff next season for the championship.
How many wins/good finishes did he have this year and last year taken away because of equipment failure/being wrecked, and not driver error. Jimmie was so successful because the 10 chase races are his best tracks.
In the 90's you had to dominate to take the championship. Now, the key be consistent for 26 races THEN race like your life depends on it for the "playoffs". I remember reading somewhere that IF they had stayed with the winston point system, Gordon would have 5, Johnson, 2 and Harvick 2, the rest i can't recall.
I think that we are going to see a lackluster year from the Johnson crew, they have starting to have internal issues and Jimmie is letting 5 get to his head, something I think we can all say Jeff never really did. He always remained humble and still is... but he loves winning... I think Jeff is going to be top 3 next year all season long...
the ironic part about that race is that the driver he wrecked, which was Bowyer finished in 2nd behind him, and Johnson lost another championship baby!!!
Totally agree. In the past Jimmie Johnson & Tony Stewart in the last few years always waited on the backstretch to let the winner have his moment. I guess the newbie has no idea about etiquette.
But if he wouldn't been in the garage he would ha I mean honestly who had the Better chance to win it all coming into this race bowyer or johnson? Thank you
I believe Jeff can/will complete his long overdue drive for five this coming season, but how much more do you suppose he'll continue to drive? He's been in NASCAR for 20+ years now, and he's 41 years old now. You've gotta believe that he's going to retire sometime in the next 10 years.
Johnson is great even though he still lost think about it the runner up since 2007 has had a bad year 2008 : Gordon,first winless season in career 2009: Carl Edwards,just a non factor 0 wins 2010 mark Martin: 0 wins 2011 Denny Hamlin: granted one win at Michigan but that was really it 2012: Carl Edwards again 0 wins and misses the chase 2013 Jimmie johnson, points leader with 4 wins, first to sweep Daytona since B.Allison that's why he's the greatest because when he loses he comes back harder
Anyone who says Jimmie Johnson is better than Jeff Gordon is clueless.The reason Gordon is doing poorly is just terrible luck.Yes he is losing some skill,but even then he is still one of the greatest racing drivers ever.He's up there with Schumacher,Earnhardt,Senna,Petty and others.And the reason Jimmie is so good is because every week he has the best car.Its 30% skill,70% car.
Jeff has had a lot of bad luck really. He has been competitive every single race pretty much, but something would break, or would get caught up in a wreck. Ironically when he has had bad cars, his team has salvaged decent finishes.
Yeah, but if there was a race to Jeff like the 500 was to Dale Sr., that'd be Texas. I just hope Jeff doesn't get killed at Texas like Dale did at Daytona. That'd suck.
Yeah, Jimmie is the "face" of the team so im used to hearing people say Jimmie when we mean the crew/ Chad is cheating, jimmie just does the driving haha
woah jeff gordon is way better than stewart and rusty look at the stats and besides allison started kicking ass after he turned 40 jeff is 42 so jeffs got time
