Jeff Gordon Career Win #85 2011 AdvoCare 500 At Atlanta Finish HD

4-Time Vs 5-Time in a classic duel

[@tylerpowers453]

I remember running home from my bus stop in sixth grade to see this. Well worth it

[@ZCAman]

Tyler Powers my 1st day of freshman year of high school this is what I remember the most

[@DavidJ867]

This is why I considered Jeff Gordon the best driver in the field of the 2000s and early 2010s until he retired. Anyone else in that position, Jimmie would have passed them easily and drove on to the win.

[@DKMediaTV]

So true. Truly one of the best drivers ever.

[@nascarfanatic2425]

My favorite race and finish of the 2011 season. Just amazing to watch 2 of the sport's best duking it out for the win at one of NASCAR's most difficult tracks. Also, thrilling to see Jeff win! Career win #85 of 93!

[@Colddeed]

2011 was really the year that rejuvenated Jeff's career. He went through a pretty big(by his standards) slump, with only 1 win over the previous 3 seasons, and a lot of people seemed to think his best days were behind him. Glad he proved them all wrong.

[@Countrybananas]

The championship robbery in 07 and the back injury early into 08 are the biggest reasons for this slump and yet still during this period he won at his worst track in 09 and was still a championship contender points wise over all 3 of those seasons even his slump were good seasons for the majority of any nascar field

[@RobTheCloserRacing]

Not a Gordon fan but that was some great driving. He showed Johnson how to get it done

[@ryanflores4414]

Johnson also did that as well to him in Martinsville 07

[@BigHern58]

I remember i almost cried because i had to work the day of this race. Great job Jeff

[@KevinMcAdams26]

What I found amazing was that Tony Stewart was 8th 10 seconds back with 11 togo and finished only 5 seconds behind up to 3rd in that short time.

[@6wh07433]

One of Gordon's best races ever.

[@joshandlena13]

the master showing the student:)

[@ChevyChevelle48]

Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, the two best!

[@JustAnotherRailfan2026]

One of the best battles in NASCAR.

[@AlexJeezyDaSnowmanRappa07]

Jeff Gordon winning at Atlanta motorspeedway was my 11th birthday present and it happened on my 11th birthday and my dad said he was thinking in his head Jeff Gordon said I'm gonna win for the birthday boy lol

[@spongebelt]

This was the perfect way to win 85. The track where he made his 1st start and thats where it all started. BTW this was a very amazing race!!! Gordon is the best ever.

[@Rainbowarriors24]

but when you have talent behind the wheel like Jeff and Jimmie they can man handle these race cars and put on a great show.

[@chocohersheybar]

greatest of all time

[@davidgimino9145]

One of his best wins ever

[@vectoze5516]

Gotta be my favorite race of Jeff Gordon. Beat Jimmie Johnson nice and clean.. and show that Gordon is still the better driver than Johnson

[@MononInc]

I wanna see this a lot more- two of the best going at it, but Jeff prevails at the end.

[@ethanlculver]

Back when the racing was truly exciting and thrilling and the cars drove great

[@greatestbrand5191]

jeff gordon showing lil jimmie how its done love it Gordon > Johnson

[@SirMan48]

Lil Jimmie showed Jeff how it's done in 2007 after his dominating season. He did it in 06 too.and 07, 08, 09, 10, and 13

[@ryanflores4414]

So you hate Jimmie Johnson and think that Danica Patrick is better than him... okay then

[@njj9555]

@@SirMan48 are you that stupid? Look at Jeff’s average 2007 finish. Much better than Jimmie’s!

[@robertosierra1784]

Rainbowarriors im very impressed u got most of jeff gordons wins! im a very die hard gordon fan. i really hope he comes back fore the 2012 championship

[@USAD3AGLE]

24 for life

[@Lovebryanr1]

That would be awesome!! would love that for Jeff.

[@MidnightMoon2267]

Wonder Boy is back!!!!!!!!!!!!:D Go #24

[@wonderfultigger6620]

This was my first race. Played hooky on my first day of high school to go with my parents :)

[@KINGDUB24]

yeah man, I was at that race and there were a lot of fans that came back even though a tropical storm came through the day before. The biggest issue that weekend was that everyone had to go back to work or college (as it was on Labor Day Weekend) so many folks had no choice but not to comeback, but trust me, there were more than enough folks there

[@sledgehammerk35]

Never going to be the same when Jeff retires, but I'll be happy to see a talented driver like Chase Elliot taking over the #24. He was impressive in his first NCWTS race at Martinsville.

[@2448hms1]

Big Daddy 24 back on top.. Love it!!!!

[@WahooBrad24]

THIS was the race and finish of 2011 in my opinion.

[@SylvieJ47]

Tuesday after a Tropical Storm in fact. And I quite like the current point system.

[@jbruce01241]

Thumbs up if Jeff Gordon rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@whattheheooooo]

my bday!!! they raced on my bday!

[@dlwile33]

When people try to say JJ is better than Jeff, show them this video.

[@ZTNGamingPS]

+Ryan Wile So apparently you can judge someone's skill on one race? K then

[@nascarfanatic2425]

+Zachary Dalton It's just one example. Keep in mind, if not for the chase, the 7-time champion we'd be talking about wouldn't be Jimmie Johnson, it'd be Jeff Gordon.

[@Moflo99]

6>4. Jeff is one of the all time greats but jj's gonna catch him

[@nascarfanatic2425]

+Marco Flores I would really appreciate you not mentioning the whole 6-time champ thing, 'cause we all know the only reason JJ got half of his championships is because of the chase. He still would've had great seasons those years, don't get me wrong, but he should only be the 2006, 09, and 2013 champion. Jeff should be a 7-time champ. You know it, I know it, everybody who isn't brainwashed by Brian France's boloney knows it.

[@johnreams3182]

+nascarfanatic2425 Yep, I won't dog Jimmy, because he's good, but he's only a 3 time champion in my eyes.

[@YourAverageFatGuy]

WOOOOOO! TIME TO UPLOAD ANOTHER VIDEO!!!!!

[@XxSaucyHMS48xX]

BEST FINISH OF THE YEAR!!!

[@WakeEffectz]

greatest 10 laps

[@EviLMonkeYUndermyBed]

YES!!! time for Number 86!!!!

[@Steventhe2nd]

i remember when i watched that race, i was on my knee's hoping that Gordon wins the race, and once that happened, i was jumping up and down, i was a very happy camper then, but it was the Chase that really got him snake bit, meaning he struggled big time, and i was pissed

[@marquiselaw1460]

I love when anybody from Hendrick wins,especially,Gordon because he gets closer to 100,Johnson just to add to his legacy,Kahne because he can drive like crazy and Jr so he can get his confidence back

[@bradrhoades6546]

Ive been to his every win.

[@nascarfanatic2425]

This was probably Jeff's hardest earned victory ever. Hey Rick Hendrick, does that remind you why you hired Jeff to drive for your team? Same track, different manufacture, same ol' Jeff Gordon.

[@chiefsonic24]

Good finish

[@nascarfanatic2425]

Jimmie Johnson, Chad Knaus, and Clint Bowyer disliked this video.

[@nascarfanatic2425]

Only reason the seats were empty was because the race got postponed until Tuesday afternoon. Who's going to spend $50 to skip off work for a race? 'Course, being it's Atlanta, and Gordon won, I would've if I knew Jeff was going to win.

[@conman52488]

Rick better retire the good old 24 when Jeff retires

[@your_boywife]

We saw how that worked out

[@KM100805]

I think Jeff Gordon should just concentrate on breaking the Record Book. If he focus on being #2 on the All Time List for most wins, I bet he would win a championship easily along the way. The more races he wins the better chance of another championship. Just my opinion though.

[@Rainbowarriors24]

yup totally....

[@chrisnapolion8016]

i do too

[@twistedrules1]

This reminds me of the 2003 Darlington race between Kurt Busch and Ricky Craven when both get loose and battle for the win and then Craven comes out with the closet margin in Nascar history

[@Rainbowarriors24]

This comment was literally 30 minutes after he won Im not a robot and the comment wasnt all that rude.

[@brendomatic1]

Thumbs up if you think 86 will come before 2011 is over!

[@Redslayer86]

Yes, you should be live streaming on to youtube obviously.

[@mrxeyex]

sad to see how many empty seats there are . I wish nascar would go back to the old point system thumbs up if you agree

[@nascarfanatic2425]

The only race I have hard feelings for on Clint is the Phoenix race. Spring race at Martinsville, he got shoved by Newman. Fall race at M'ville, typical short track racing. Phoenix, wtf.

[@jayquast7065]

That's when racing was racing, not going in a corner on the last lap turning someone

[@TimBodie2412]

@KKFan9 and Bad Knaus

[@AlessandroSebastian17]

his 86th win is coming in 2012

[@Rainbowarriors24]

hope u stayed safe 9 people got struck by lighting one died.

[@SuperNASCARrocks]

What are the words beside Keselowski, Menard, Ambrose & Kyle Busch?

[@SuperPinkFloyd79]

SuperNASCARrocks 2011 had a wildcard system for the Chase. 12 drivers, top 10 in points and then 2 wildcard drivers from 11th-20th that had a win. That thing you're seeing is just noting that they are eligible for that wildcard berth.

[@go1540]

Jeff Gordon is the best driver in my opinion other than Dale Earnhardt

[@Steventhe2nd]

u should see how mad i was at that race, i posted it on facebook, i was pretty pissed

[@whattheheooooo]

YOU NEED NUMBER 86!!!!

[@GusTheAnt]

Plus the new points system is so much simpler than the old one. If NASCAR needs to rid of anything its the Chase, or at least reformat it, along with the whole season.

[@chrisnapolion6967]

this race was raced on tuesday after sunday was rained out

[@novajtheblackknight]

monday

[@noahcoleman5556]

nova j. Tuesday. It rained all day on Monday, but boy was it worth the wait!

[@tylerpowers9796]

Noah Coleman it rained on Sunday. They didn't race Monday because of labor day

[@Rainbowarriors24]

calm down jeez u expect me to upload right after he wins.

[@sangbuynglee]

where is#86?

[@chrisnapolion6208]

He almost caught him

[@nascarfanatic2425]

Same here. I lost all my respect for David Reutimann after that. That was his fault, whether he tried to stop on the track or not.

[@Steventhe2nd]

Well that race may have sucked, but he did get his revenge by turing Bowyer at the turn 4 wall, and hey, at least that Jeff wasn't winless in 2012, and the pattern was broken as well, so in all, at least Gordon won 2 races and that Johnson did not win the championship

[@KKFan9]

Jimmie Johnson disliked this video...lol

[@Vixen13k]

cars THAT loose are usually running 20th a half second off the pace.

[@brentwright1802]

Great win Jeff!

[@mrps3fan]

you don't see that in F1.

[@chrisnapolion6208]

At the track where my fiancé died right outside of

[@nascarfanatic2425]

Yeah, I mean I'd like to see young Ryan Blaney given a try in Tommy Baldwin's car. Why the hell would you put a never-will-be in your ride? Then again, you need to spoil him to make him good. *cough* Jr. *cough*

[@THETROLLAH]

Your a little rude, chill bud even tho you got a point

[@nascarfanatic2425]

Anybody who keeps asking why David Reutimann lost his ride at MWR, well that'd be why. 'Course, now I've lost my respect for Clint Bowyer, now.

[@NewWorldCT]

Why are you so fuckin' rude! XDDDDDD

[@Rainbowarriors24]

You do realize that this race was on a Tuesday right? of course the stands are going to be empty stop complaining and whining that you want the old system back you cant change things this system is here to stay for the near future.

[@NascarMicci]

What's with some of these comments saying "Jeff showed Jimmie how to get it done"? I think the seven-time champ knows how to get it done just fine on his own. He didn't need Gordon to show him anything.

[@Someone-oe2pg]

Jeff should have more titles than he has the Chase system has robbed him of like 3 titles

[@nascarfanatic2425]

At least, hopefully not. Wish Jeff would've got a little bit better respect for that, though. Some fans are just so misunderstanding/stupid.

[@Rainbowarriors24]

Im sure that isnt true but whatever...

[@JohnMunroRacing]

unlucky, haha :)
