It’s tough for me to be a fan of any one driver today cause your either cheering for the number on the door, the team he’s on, the brand of car, or the family name.

When Jeff first really came on the scene I got to go to a meet n greet with him due to my dad being sent by DuPont because he’s a automotive painter ( I was born in 91 and had to be 4-5 years old at the time) he was giving out a signed picture of his car, I was in line with just my cousin at the time and my cousin ended up just taking my signed picture. Ended up going back to my dad balling about it so he got back in line with me. When we got back up there Jeff recognized me and mentioned I was in line before but noticed I was upset. My pops told him what happened and just said sorry and maybe see if we could get another signed pic. Instead Jeff picked me up and took a pic with me, mind you the staff was pretty upset with him saying no special pics, he didn't care and I still have the picture. Wish I could get a chance to meet him again and bring the pic to tell him the story. Tells you what kind of guy he truly was, because he was very young at the time too and had the world at his hands.

Even before they were teammates i always thought of Jr and Gordon as friends with similar personalities although they came from different backgrounds.. I never really bought into the post 90's Earnhardt Jr/ Gordon rivalry crap bc i knew that had more to do with ppl's emotions about Dale Sr. than it did Dale Jr or anybody else..

I never got the chance to see Gordon race growing up, because we never had a track near us and my parents never had the financial ability to get tickets to a race. As soon as Jr. got hurt, my first thought was "WHAT IF THEY GOT JEFF TO FILL IN FOR HIM" and told my father this. As soon as the news came out a day or two later, he had me look up tickets, and we bought them and made the road trip to Indianapolis. He didn't care about the cost, he made it work so I could see my childhood hero race at least once. So for my first NASCAR race, I got to see Jeff Gordon *AND* Chase Elliott (my favorite now that Jeff is retired) race together, not to mention Tony Stewart's last Indianapolis race. Definitely one of the best experiences of my life

I know what you mean, but I'm hopeful for the future. We are in a transitional period where Kevin Harvick is now the oldest guy out there... All these up and comers will start to develop rivalries as the time passes. I think we'll be ok. I think NASCAR really needs to re-evaluate ticket pricing. Charge like 50.00 bucks for a 3 day adult ticket, and get that Blue Collar fanbase back out to the track. I think there is another reason too... I live in Canada, we used to get Indy Vancouver tix every year. We would go Friday and Saturday to soak it all in, and then give them away for the Sunday so we could watch coverage on TV. I think that as the coverage improves, people just want to sit at home with a case of beer and absorb it all. Radio chatter, in car cameras, Dale Jr yelling "SLIDE JOB"... We feel closer than ever to the experience we are now getting from TV I think. Just a thought...

last thing people like to say Jr. only got that popular because of his fathers passing... No... Go on youtube right now & watch him dominate the Busch series in 98 & 99 for two titles mainly competing against Matt Kenseth which was fun to watch if u like watching old races. But he was popular as a Busch driver... His 2000 rookie season when he won Texas I was there as I live in Forth Worth & im only about 45 minutes away from Denton which is where TMS is located. The Crowd was going nuts for Jr. that race. Being that it was in Texas that crowd was loyal to Terry & Bobby Labonte who are from Corpus Christi Texas... Yet when Jr. was dominating he by far got the loudest cheers... I still remember it to this day... I remember he also won a Richmond then the next week was the 2000 Winston All Star Race. He won that then qualified for the pole there & broke a new track record there... At that time Jr. was becoming the face of Nascar... Over Tony Stewart, Gordon, his dad, etc...

Alot of people did jump on his bandwagon after Dale died, you can see by your comment you're not one of those guys. Jr. was a great driver in his own right, I believe his name played a part in his popularity, but that doesn't take anything away from his abilities. I also think Jr. gets unfairly compared to Dale, and truth of the matter NOBODY will ever fill those shoes. I wasn't a huge Jr. fan, but I never disliked him. I always kinda pulled for him because I was a fan of his dad's. I stuck with the car and became a Harvick fan, the fact that Dale wanted him, I felt was the right move. I never liked Gordon til the very end of his career, he went from the young gun to the last of the old school.
@jasonrobbins71435 жыл бұрын
@@shaynecrimsontide82 I always liked Jr. cause I go to every race at TMS. He had great success there early in his career at a tough track that many drivers struggled with. So seeing him win his 1st Busch series win at Texas then his first Winston cup win there as well basically won me over. I always said like you mention as well that Jr. faced more pressure to win than probably any driver ever! I still remember when he would go to certain tracks where he would have success there but then they would mention how many races his dad won there... Its like he could've won a couple championships & he still would've never lived up to what his Dad did in the eyes of many fans... Its like his couple wins at Richmond, well you're dad won here this many times... Or when he won 4 straight races at Talledega to break Buddy Bakers record... Its like great but you're Dad won Talladega 9 times! To me he lost a lot when it comes to Nascar. Im sure he made millions & is currently making millions more doing commentary & great for him. But he lost his dad, he lost his fathers company DEI because Teresa is a stupid bitch! Like when he went to Hendrick everyone thought he would win a lot cause he was with a good team & there was now no excuses for him not to win. Yet how much was Jeff Gordon winning at that time when Jimmie Johnson was racking up titles? Neither Gordon & Jr. won that much when u have a Jimmie Johnson on the team. I dont care how good a race team is you usually dont have 3 cars capable of winning that race let alone 2! So obviously Hendricks best car was going to Jimmie! Their 2nd best car was most likely going to Gordon! So Jr. was getting their 3rd best car in my opinion... I think what made fans disappointed was his lack of success at Hendrick. He also says it was that concussion that ended his career early... To me he just wanted to be done with Racing. The stress & pressure of it... To me Jr. was done with Racing when DEI started going downhill. Yet he still raced for another decade....

I knew from the moment that his car came to rest at Daytona that it was not going to be alright. I went out into the garage and cried! When I came back in, my wife told me that he was going to be alright and I had to tell Her NO! This is not Dale, and this is not alright! That race was of no race I have ever seen your father race before. i watched him take the lead and so appeared go back in the pack and get Michael and bring him to the front and then come back and help you. Never have I seen that kind of selflessnous from any other driver and especially your Dad! Had complete faith in you and Michael to sort out the win and was kind of a passing of the torch at that moment.I think that GOD called him on his graciousness on that moment knowing there could be no greater! Just wanted to share this with you. I almost met him and Terry Bradshaw the night before that day. They were walking up to us when a group of reporters were coming across the track and your Dad waved to us and turned to the reporters, Was definitely fun watching him take terry around the track and then they did a victory stand on top of his car! was so cool!

You've got me crying. Dale Sr, either you loved him or loved to hate him. Either way, ALL were broken that day. I didn't hate him. Hate is a strong word. I was just always a Mark Martin fan. But, that day, I felt lost, just lost. I'm so sorry for your loss too as a #3 fan. God bless.

@@roxannemoser thank you! I'm a racing fan in general but Dale had a special place in my heart. Nothing at all bad about being someone else's fan, and definitely not Mark Martin. Definitely a class act and one hell of a driver! I also have that Chevy in my blood! Lol.

The craziest moment of Jeff’s run in the 88 for me was when his seatbelt came undone on the final restart at Pocono.

If Gordon was still racing, I would have been rooting for Gordon (since Jr retired after 2017 season) for 2018 onward.

I love that, the modern day equivalent to Gordon getting the reception to winning Dega in 04 could be Busch vs Larson this past season. I’ve never heard boos as loud as that after a race.

I have a great digital photo I took from the grandstands of Jeff’s car getting hit by flying beer cans as he started doing his burnout at that 2004 Talladega race. You guys may not have heard, but fights broke out between the fans over that finish in the stands everywhere.

Dirty Mo....if you guys video record the whole session, why dont you post the whole videos of the podcasts? For alot of people like myself its hard to focus on people talking without seeing the actual people. Regardless, keep up the great work. Should get Tony Stewart on the podcast.

My first live race was the 1999 Brickyard 400. Jeff was my favorite driver and I was 8 years old. On the way to track someone had a cardboard cut out of him with an adult sized diaper put on it. I know that sounds hilarious but to this day it rubs me the wrong way.
