Top Jeff Gordon Career Highlights : Best of NASCAR

[@prezidentjeff]

The man that made me a fan of NASCAR. Long live Jeff Gordon

[@bobclark1594]

Sadly, his retirement and all the needless points changes turned me away from the once great sport of NASCAR. I can only wonder how many championship seasons he would have without the Chase and how many Johnson would have had in old points, all season points total. Loved Gordon and Petty and did not like Johnson or Earnhardt, Jr.

[@smokeybandit9760]

@@bobclark1594 I'm a fairly new and young fan so I unfortunately never got to watch Gordon and Earnhardt dueling it out. I agree with you that all these changes to the championship format with the chase was really unnecessary. Having a season long championship is the fairest way to determine the champion. I really hope NASCAR can go back to what it used to be, but it doesn't look like it. I'm seriously considering not watching and switching to other motorsports cause of all the gimmicks that have been added.

JG won 81 races from 1994 through 2007, an average of 6 wins per year. He won 4 titles in that time and contended for 3 more trophies as well (1996, 2004 & 2007).
