Congrats Jeff Gordon and his fans

i will admit to falling asleep during the race. I have been so down lately and so tired.


Congrats to Jeff, I am thrilled for him!!!!!!
 
Congrats to Jeff and his legion of fans on this forum. I give the guy crap on here sometimes, but I respect his accomplishments.

I wonder if it made it the win any sweeter considering the race was sponsored by 5-Hour Energy and run in Clint Bowyer's backyard? ;)
 
Congratulations to Jeff and crew. The crew did an outstanding job w/pit stops and Jeff has performed admirably this year with leading points. That says a lot about his and the team efforts. Looks like Gustafson has finally got the lingo spoken between driver and crew chief so they really do understand each other..

Awesome race. I haven't enjoyed one that much in a while....probably since Martinsville last fall :cool:

Feels good to finally get a W. What an awesome year so far. And I fully expect Gordon to have 100+ wins by the time he retires!

Not only that, but it was also the 20th anniversary of his first Cup win.

His first win was on May 29, 1994, so not the exact anniversary but close enough.

If it was that far away, I wonder why fox decided to cover it so much? You'd think they'd cover it for the all star race. Hell, it's even at the same track

Yeah, giving it more coverage at Charlotte would have made more sense. Maybe they're planning on doing that too.
 
This is the first season in a long time where I am confident that the 24 will make his way to the front regardless of where their running provided its not super late in the race. Lap down? No problem. Pit miscue? No problem. It's been a total blast to watch especially given all the BS people have been spouting regarding his age and desire to be successful.
 
Jeff Gordon wins the 2014 5-Hour Energy 400 at Kansas!!! :booya: :cool: :cheers: :beerbang: :D :dpepsi:
:partytime :bounce: :headbang: :pbjtime:

Sorry y'all, Just finished watching the race on DVR. :oops: I was at my cousin's wedding on Saturday night.

Woohoo!!!
 
My money's on old Gordy to win at Charlotte again to celebrate his 20th anniversary of his first win.

He has a knack for winning special occasions like this. Back in 2012 he won at Homestead with Dupont as his Sponsor for 20 years too. with paint scheme and all.

He wins the all star race and the coke 600. It'll drive some folks nuts. :D
 
This is enough to get even an old Jeff Gordon fan who doesn't watch much NASCAR any more to tune in again. I'm not crazy about what they've done to the sport, but when Jeff is in first place and winning, it's a lot easier to take it all. :D

Yeah, I'll think about it. I was kind of hoping to find a thread about Danica finishing in the top 10 last week, 7th I think it was. I didn't know if that her highest finish or when she last finished in the top ten. I kind of like her and root for her. I'll admit that it's mostly because I find her incredible hot, but I also think her success is good for the sport just as her presence has been. It draws fans and those fans buy merchandise and increase ratings. A rising tide floats all boats.
 
even though i'm no way a gordon fan, i do like him, he changed the sport imo, but as long as i have followed nascar, i have never seen the kind of treatment that gordon has received. gay gordon was everywhere, even dale sr asked him about it. i was tired of seeing it, can't imagine how he felt. i also think he is the best driver ever.
 
One of the best ever to do it. All the jokes I make sometimes, but that track record is no joke. A wheelman and even a better giver to charity. He's done it all and it been a blessing to see this historic career of his.

He spent much of his time in his hauler before & after races. After he got it on with Brooke, he broke ties with his family. This was tough because john bickford, his stepfather and only coach, was the man who sat him down in a quarter midget for the first time. While Gordon dealt with family struggles, uncontrollable influxes of fame and money, his image outside the track was tarnished by Earnhardt and his fans. It was really Earnhardt's fans who fueled the gay punches at Gordon with shirts, signs & other props. The only way to keep away from it was to seek shelter in his hauler. Then of course Brooke & Gordon divorced due to a supposed affair Gordon was having with a model. Later at, Sonoma I believe it was, he announced his engagement to Ingrid and he won the race. He really only began to mingle with other drivers in the pre-race festivities after Ingrid stepped into his life. He's not the kind of man to have his dirty laundry & personal life aired through national media. It hit him hard but he overcame it all by beating everyone on the track :D
