They just weren't ready for that speed.

"But your kids are gonna love it."

[@3120DownForce]

@nascaronfox ...... you have good imagination.

[@Be.authentic_]

Ray Everham and Jeff Gordon could have won WAY more than 47 races and 3 titles 😭😭😭

[@Stl.Cardinals]

No doubt about Ray Everham and Jeff Gordon could have broke SR 7 chips

[@buckeyefangirl1976]

Jeff is my forever #24 and Champ👍♥️

[@williamdavies1192]

Harvicks uncle was my PE teacher.

[@carltonsprague7346]

Yep, you had finally made it. Kevin😊

[@jamesstig1832]

T REX?? Good interview notwithstanding

[@TheRouschmustang]

I’d like to hear Chad Knaus side of jimmies story and the way the set the cars up

[@yodaisgod2]

Imagine Gordan going to F1…

[@pughoneycutt1986]

Click bait don't say a word about the T Rex

[@darrelladams4188]

It was so fast we missed it…😂😂😂😂

[@darrelladams4188]

Yeah totally click bait didn’t say anything about the T - Rex car

[@darrelladams4188]

For everyone looking for T Rex it was the video before this one ….. whoever runs the YT mixed the video and the title

[@curtisharvey5579]

They've been doing that a lot...

[@TheTN24]

If Ray stays with Gordon, they surpass 7 championships. They were just so far ahead of everyone else.

[@erwinpadgett1050]

Just like Johnson, Earnhardt, and Petty, their crew chiefs soured over time. So I disagree with you.

[@TheeGlocktopus]

@@erwinpadgett1050 Ray didn't sour, he went on to be a team owner. He moved up. Not only that, was instrumental in bringing Dodge into the sport once again. Ray wanted to be more than a crew chief.

[@TheTN24]

@@erwinpadgett1050 And yet Ray in this interview pretty much states they could get mad at each other but always ended up laughing it off. I disagree as these guys always had a very good relationship where Knaus and Johnson was always strained. It's a testament to Jeffs skills that he won another title and ton more races with other guys, I just don't see the dropoff with Ray but we'll never know.

[@joshpitts7256]

🤦🏻‍♂️

[@adammasters1491]

100% agree. I admire them for taking on a new challenge after 3 titles. Johnson and Knaus’s complacency and dominance hurt the sport.

[@adammasters1491]

This proves what I’ve always believed. Johnson benefitted from what Gordon and Evernham built at Hendrick. Then Knaus took their information and gave Jimmie the best car for 15 years. In equal equipment, I would take Gordon any day over Johnson at any type of track.

[@lewisgriffin9684]

Not just that but just give him his entire catalog of cars including most of his pit crew which was a championship winning pit crew from the year before and all those cars had alot of wins not saying Jimmy and Chad was not good because they was but they were not as good as people make them out to be just because of the Championships people seem to forget close to the championship team under the chase era I think all but two of those championships he would not have won if it was the old point system

[@sergeantmasson3669]

@adammasters1491, all 4 notorious cheaters.

[@goldenshark3182]

Chad Knaus was a tire changer for Jeff Gordon when Evernham was crew chief, so he learned from the best.

[@goldenshark3182]

@@sergeantmasson3669 You mean exploiting gray areas that weren’t fully defined for aero advantages, yeah they all did that in one way or another. Just listen to DW on Dale Jr’s podcast talk about using nitro in races, that’s some straight up cheating.

[@goldenshark3182]

@@lewisgriffin9684 Without “The Playoffs” which is nothing more than artificially “resetting” the points standings 3/4 of the way through a season so people will tune more into the last 1/4 season, Johnson is only a 3-time full season Cup champ. Jeff Gordon is actually Hendrick’s true 7-time Cup champ. Jeff Gordon was the true full season points champ in 2004, 2007 and 2014. Kevin Harvick is actually a 4-time champ: 2010, 2015, 2016 and 2020. Thanks to gimmicky fake playoffs that no other motorsport does, and NASCAR didn’t do before 2004, these records don’t officially count, which is hilarious.

[@helpful5539]

This kind of talk over what is already is is very interesting to me. But what is even more important is the talk of now and the future. nascar has the racing product and cars in a real mess and that is what needs to be talked about and worked on. The racing product has been in a downward spiral for a couple decades. We can't live in the past. We have to start admitting things are all wrong and sideways

[@thomassteele7451]

I knew when Harvick paired with Childers they’d be good. As for Johnson, that’s why I refuse to put him ahead of Gordon. And the fact that JG could win on any track. I put all those drivers, including Harvick, on the top level together. Even the King’s wins slowed considerably when the competition got greater. Ray & JG would’ve had so many more wins & titles.

[@ScottXC91]

Ray Evernham is a nation treasure

[@brianbailey4275]

lmao funny timing to watch the 98 race and the following race at atlanta, someone accused the 24 team of sandbagging to get the Taurus's to slow down. Funny now in retrospect, they were trying but just got beat that day.

[@jeffcanfixit]

Thanks for having Ray on Kevin. He's one in a million. 👍👍🏁

[@chrislovett6120]

David Pearson said to a driver at I think Martinsville when the driver told him how deep he could drive into the corner. I do t care how deep you can drive it, if you can’t pick up the throttle again right here, I’ll beat you every time.

[@heavyhitter3185]

He wasn't Allowed To Touch Wrenches??? Lol...DONT YOU MEAN HE DIDN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 3FOURTHS AND A HALF?? LMAO...WE KNOW THE TRUTH HERE RAY...SOME OF US DO ANYWAYS...SMH

[@forzafan92]

jeff gordon was always my favorite, yet i cant help but notice towards the end of his racing days, why did he get into the top 5 only to drop towards the back of the pack. i always felt like he was being forced to do so, but im not sure

[@derekbentley334]

Wait until I get the funding that is coming. It be like next Gen car changes each weeks tèch inspection

[@rogerionapolijr.5201]

Stop,Kevin, stop nwo

[@ad206]

2:16 He won a championship the year after Gordon retired.

[@dibarel]

And what did Johnson do after 2016? When NASCAR changed the cars again for 2017? and then 18'? 19'?

[@ad206]

@@dibarel Didn't win a championship, the same thing Gordon did the last 15 years of his career.

[@dibarel]

@@ad206 Had the most wins, top 5s, top 10s, best average finish half of those. Your comment makes zero sense. Gordon was better than Johnson 04, 07, arguably 08 before his crash, in 14 and 15.

[@ad206]

@@dibarel You realize head-to-head Jimmie has 50 more wins than Gordon, right? You're sitting here trying to make on like this is even close.

[@InLikeFlynn_]

Carl Edwards gave him that championship be honest. Points system has been flawed for 20 years.
