2007 Aaron's 499 @ Talladega

[@Steventhe2nd]

this race will forever be in my heart, after saying my last goodbye to my father who died a couple of days after Jeff tied Earnhardt in wins, the greatest miracle was given to me in time of need, that win snapped away my sadness and cheered me up, i can never forget this race ever

[@kjprodouctions9050]

I'm sure he was smiling down from heaven

[@xxCrazyEights88xx]

The 2007 plate package with the Gen 4 cars were on another level. If this race could’ve ended under green, it would’ve probably been a crazy finish much like the two Daytona races were.

[@the_road__warrior6185]

I sure do miss watchn Jeff race.. Maan, dude knew how to administer a race day ass whoopn. Jeff Gordon has got to be one of the best, I got a lot of great memories growing up watching him kick that ass.

[@gagemcpherson4454]

I remember I was 13 or 14 years old during this race and as a Jeff Gordon fan I loved this race I miss the nascar I grew up with from late 90s til about 2014 I still watch but it just doesn't compare in my opinion

[@GoDawgs18]

Not even close. Nascar has been ruined by gimmicks like the “playoffs”. Takes away the legitimacy of the sport.

[@coyboybc]

Gordon was better than any driver out there! Including #8

Jeff's stats still don't do him justice. Bad luck really hampered him in those later years along with the stupid playoff system.

Insane to see them sit 3 wide for so long. They were insane back then! You don’t really see that anymore.

[@Theel25]

I'd prefer the spectacle of good racing over 3 wide, personally. I love me some 3 and 4 wide action, and this is an example of it done well, but I think that the spectacle should be the big runs and the lane management aspect, which can cause some chaos. And to be honest, 3 wide still does happen today. Take the 2019 Fall Talladega race. Those last few laps with 3 wide action were intense, and they had been 3 wide all day prior to that as well.

The top 10 did change after review, with the results 1st-10th being: 24-48-2-38-26-29-8-40-12-1. Gilliland was elevated from 7th to 8th, McMurray relegated to from 4th to 5th, and Junior from 5th to 7th. First through third, 6th, and eighth through tenth did not change.

[@pens87668]

This is the first time I’ve watched this race since it aired live back then, and it’s an excellent race. The finish was anti-climactic, but overall fun to watch again. At the time this race happened, I was 13 years old and I wasn’t very happy with Gordon breaking Earnhardts win record at Talladega. This was during my peak hatred of Hendrick Motorsports. Fast forward to present day, and I actively root for Hendrick. My how times have changed.
