Jeff Gordon 2005 Infineon Track Record Breaking Pole Lap

Pole Speed: 94.325 mph / 1:15.95

[@mindsofeuropa2955]

I watch this every couple of years and still - what a lap.

[@mindsofeuropa2955]

That was an incredible lap. Perfect line into corners and a mixture of aggression and patience when getting on the throttle.

[@devonmartinez1857]

Minds Of Europa on the breaks and the gas in the last turn

[@monarch7446]

Road course master period

[@monarch7446]

No one can drive a road course like Gordon

[@nascarandjeff123]

i like ut when at 1:45 they both say in sync "A NEW TRACK RECORD" must not happen often b.c they sounded real excited :D JEFF GORDON IS THE MAN

[@moye41]

its amazing how much more aggressive u could be with the old car as opposed to the cot

[@kevinkelley3906]

Back when they actually told you their performances. So much better back then.

[@DuckwalkSupreme]

Damn, the acceleration of these cars once they get past 40-50 mph!

[@Trad_chad1122]

A master at his craft

[@ethanlculver]

These were the good days....when Gordon was beating Johnson.

[@WannabeFlagman]

If you think this is amazing, wait till 08 when he actually gets to Qualify in the COT at Sonoma. NEW RECORD! JEFF FOREVER!

[@nascarfanatic2425]

Yeah. Speedways have kinda been a weakness of Jeff's in 2005 and 2008, but they seemed to be his stronger tracks the last couple years, ironically. Road courses, he's been hard to compare to at Sonoma, but Watkins Glen has been ugly.

[@JoeyKO757]

Miss that guy

[@nascarmario23]

I remember this, one of the first qualifying sessions I watched, and one of the first races.

[@j2mesp4c]

A NEW TRACK RECORD!!!!!

[@ThizzinChampX24]

damn he was HAULIN

[@kentonT24]

jeff is awesome.

[@RichmondShaw]

Great memories!!!!

[@jgjjhm]

yeah go jeff!!!

[@nascarfanatic2425]

It's too bad the race didn't go as well for him. The Road Courses hurt Jeff in points in 2005.

[@DaveyMurray1]

Fair enough. :)

[@DanielLopez_17]

that car was flying!

[@nascarfanatic2425]

I'm kinda paraphrasing what Jeff said in the one scenario on the Dodge Challanges of NASCAR 07.

[@thelarry383]

Back when jimmie johnson wasn't so damn annoying.

[@allabouthewaves4354]

He has a personality you dumb fuck. You just hate him because he wins, wins, and wins.

[@osurocks24]

Oh thank you. I'm not the only one. I miss when he couldn't win championships and he's annoying as heck. No personality and cocky as heck. I hate his interview when he acts he's better than everyone.

[@Anthony_Stuart]

@ballsthatclank yeah, we all know how terribly Jimmie's been since then :3

[@TheStockCarStig]

@phatmattcowboys they do more than turn left

[@RacingWorldTV202]

def

[@phatmattcowboys]

@TheStockCarStig tell me something i don't know

[@maxwilds1365]

Gatorade

[@NathanRyanAllen]

Jimmie may have 5 championships, but that doesnt make him better than gordon. Jeff has 10 road course wins to jimmies 1. Road courses are a true demonstration of talent. Now you see why jimmie only has 1 lol

[@dshih199]

NathanRyanAllen so Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch are better than Jimmie?

[@markharris7751]

He wouldn't have 1 if Marcus Ambrose didn't shut his car off saving fuel under caution going up the hill at Sonoma

[@phatmattcowboys]

@TheStockCarStig what?

[@Skywalkerr2008]

@godzillahulk too bad he didnt :(

[@TheEgg185]

@ballsthatclank ahahaha

[@dirtdevil2394]

Jimmie was like.. “and this guy is the king of the sport? Hold my beer lol” and wins 7 from 05 on 😂

[@DaveyMurray1]

The road courses??????? Now I'm a die hard Gordon fan. But he was complete and utter shit at the speedways. He and Robbie just couldn't figure things out.
