Got worse when they were running the road course so I’m super happy that they are doing the 2024 brickyard 400 finally hoping that the tires hold, but this year has been unpredictable with those GoodYears.
From 2001-2007, NASCARs prime IMO. FOX and really NBC, took the TV broadcast to a new level. Just watching the first two minutes of this makes it feel like a big event. They don't even try anymore.
I was at this race during a family reunion, and is still my only race I've been to, and my favorite driver won, went to all of the events during race week, got autographs, pictures etc., it was awesome and one of the best moments in my life. Best memory is Terry Labonte stopping right in front of where we were sitting in turn 1.
Those mid-late GEN four cars were fucking beasts, being so aerodynamic and the packages were awesome. The sound of them is second to none & they could routinely get speeds of 200+ unrestricted @ Indianapolis, Michigan, & Atlanta, along w/ so many other tracks, without any limits in horsepower, which restrict the RPMs in current-day NASCAR. I’m just really/ wishing they could find a way with the 3 current manufacturers to get better race products on the track!
The ONLY top tier NASCAR race I ever went to and being a Gordon fan, was quite a sight and experience! Was in the tower terrace watching them go from right to left. Was better than my previous years experience at Milwaukee mile where it was constant noise all the time. Brickyard they all scream by and could hear them in the distance and see on all the monitors.
+Anthony Kernich Yes, Jeff was a Latford system(old system guy), Jeff learned to race for championships under the old system which taught finishes, points, and winning. The Chase system is almost the antithesis of it, it punishes consistency(it takes that to win it), hurts drivers that are good finishers(Gordon and Kenseth are the two that come to mind), and helps drivers that were having subpar seasons and aren't strong finishers. It messed with a lot of drivers stats, another is Jamie McMurray who if the old system were still here would be a top 10 driver.
+Anthony Kernich The chase is bullshit and the new one they have right now is a absolute joke. They only introduced this in the first place because people bitched Kenseth won the 03 championship with only 1 win but in 2014 Newman almost the championship with zero victories. Jeff Gordon was royally screwed over by this system in in both 04 and 07 at least I mean (still ranting) if they wanted to change the system and yet have it be far, then do this if you finish in the top 25 in the race you score points, if you finish outside top 25 you do not score a point 25th place = 1 point 1st place = 50 points simple solution that would be better than this stupid fucking chase format!
its happened again as well to Harvick and Logano - Both of those two had 28 top 10's and they lose a driver who missed 11 races ......................... (and I'm not even a Logano fan, but he deserved to fight)
He was supposed to do that interview in victory lane. The ISP escorted him after he ignored the NASCAR officials. Don't forget the feud between the family that owned indy and Nascar.

Indeed, thank you from us Gordon fans. If he hasn't been getting screwed by random crap like yesterday at the Glen or at Indy, he's screwing himself over (Martinsville and Dega). It's pretty painful to watch, and I keep telling my wife I can't wait until he's done so I can watch without fear about being angry at where Jeff finishes. lol
You don't think having a decent run spoiled by mechanical trouble "screwed"? He didn't get screwed by someone, rather than something. *shrugs* Just crappy luck at the end of the day, though.
Yep. 2004,2007,2014 all would've been Gordon's championships under the old points system, giving him 7 . The chase definitely ruined the sport . DNF"s don't even matter anymore. Sad...
He might have been, but they never mentioned it. I think it was for the best either way being that his tire was on fire and you don't want to park close to the pit wall. If I were NASCAR I would be more interested in why the gas man thought it was a good idea to begin fueling before the fire was out.
True haha. I only know he wasn't penalized, because he never went a lap down. He never lined up on the inside and never got the free pass, but he finished in 22nd on the lead lap
What I'd really like to know now is; why did everyone keep going past pit road with the flat left fronts? Were they trying to not get sent to the end of the longest line, or were they trying to lead laps? BP said something about collecting money. (Also, Sterling should've learned his lesson from the 2003 New England 300 lol.)
Why anyone would want to drive a car with a tire on it's rim around a 2 and a half mile race track is beyond me. Just bite the bullet and get sent to the back. Gordon was lucky it didn't do any apparent damage, but he still lost positions on the track not to mention on pit road.
Still don’t understand why Marlin and R. Gordon stayed out an extra lap on a cut tire and destroyed their cars when they could have taken the pointless penalty and fixed it.
Nascar 06 total team control challenge Dale Jarrett 88 UPS Truck Let's Get him In the race he was in the brown n white UPS Ford Taurus as he was a two time winner in the Brickyard 400 but in this race he finished 2nd to Jeff Gordon who won his fourth Brickyard 400 and Jarretts teammate then Elliott Sadler finished 3rd in the m and ms Ford Ford Taurus that day. In the challenge Jarrett had the White UPS Ford Taurus with the players chance to recreate history by climbing aboard the UPS Truck and pass Gordon to have the player win his 3rd Brickyard 400 also the player has an additional challenge for interactive crew chief mode to get in Sadlers car to make it 1-2 finish for Robert Yates Racing in the challenge of the Brickyard.
Robby Gordon was always an idiot, blowing so many good finishes, possible wins, & burning so many bridges with all of those teams, including his own, along the way.

Jeff winning with that damaged car was unreal
Yes it was
Us Gordon fans thank you.
I miss Wally's world! Look at how full it was in the stands and compare it to this year.
Got worse when they were running the road course so I’m super happy that they are doing the 2024 brickyard 400 finally hoping that the tires hold, but this year has been unpredictable with those GoodYears.
When the Brickyard 400 was truly THE Brickyard 400.And back when RYR was still relevant and dangerous on the track.
I will say, though that those Doug Yates engines are still the prominent/ primary ones for the Ford teams in NASCAR to this day!
One of my all time favorite Jeff Gordon victories

The cars back then sounded the best

A bit of a scare for the #24 at the end, running over the debris but they still pulled off the win.
3:12:12-3:14:12 R.I.P Robert Yates
Jeff Gordon owned this place.
Five brickyard 400 championships, including the most recent one before he retired from racing, which also includes the 2014 victory.
No driver in the history of the sport has been so screwed by Brian France's Chase
***** yeah, i remember his 30 top ten season in 2007 ..

I mean (still ranting) if they wanted to change the system and yet have it be far, then do this
if you finish in the top 25 in the race you score points, if you finish outside top 25 you do not score a point
25th place = 1 point
1st place = 50 points
simple solution that would be better than this stupid fucking chase format!

Kevin harvick 2020 is about to enter the conversation
Jeff Gordon becomes the 1st NASCAR driver to win 4 times at Indy & the 4th driver overall
Only driver to win 5 times at Indy
14:36 “the day we get all cookie cutters for drivers is the day we have a problem.” We have a problem
When you won't ever give an inch, that's what happens NEWMAN !!
He was supposed to do that interview in victory lane. The ISP escorted him after he ignored the NASCAR officials. Don't forget the feud between the family that owned indy and Nascar.
Jeff Gordon got win number 69.. Nice
Final Oval Start of Scott Pruett.
My birthday is on August 8th. I turned 10 on this day.

Racing at the brickyard thanks

Just crappy luck at the end of the day, though.
Yep, I would say Tony got screwed too. When a $10 part spoils an otherwise successful day, then yes, it is most definitely a screw job, IMO.
Check me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this the last top-10 for Bill Elliott? Also, first NEXTEL Cup G-W-C IIRC.
Why did Gordon and Marlin try to go around the track another time with a tire down?
Bill Elliott's 320th and final career Top 10 finish
do you have the 2009 gaotade duels with nascar victory lane
Yep. 2004,2007,2014 all would've been Gordon's championships under the old points system, giving him 7 . The chase definitely ruined the sport . DNF"s don't even matter anymore. Sad...
Do you have 2006 Chase Loudon race?
Tegan Maness I don't think I do... at some point I want to get more races so... hopefully sometime soon
mmm...don't think so...
2:29:02 Why wasn't Robby Gordon penalized for pitting outside the box?
He might have been, but they never mentioned it. I think it was for the best either way being that his tire was on fire and you don't want to park close to the pit wall. If I were NASCAR I would be more interested in why the gas man thought it was a good idea to begin fueling before the fire was out.

Exactly lol. And it's just not that good to be breathing in all the extinguisher stuff.
Do you have 2004 Pepsi 400?
Trey Gwynn yessir
Still don’t understand why Marlin and R. Gordon stayed out an extra lap on a cut tire and destroyed their cars when they could have taken the pointless penalty and fixed it.
How about Jeff's win that year at Daytona?
Nascar 06 total team control challenge

In the race he was in the brown n white UPS Ford Taurus as he was a two time winner in the Brickyard 400 but in this race he finished 2nd to Jeff Gordon who won his fourth Brickyard 400 and Jarretts teammate then Elliott Sadler finished 3rd in the m and ms Ford Ford Taurus that day.

Lol I think we get the point. People wanna watch the race not read video game challenges
Robby Gordon was always an idiot, blowing so many good finishes, possible wins, & burning so many bridges with all of those teams, including his own, along the way.
I wanted Mark Martin to win the 2004 brickyard 400
To say a car runs better in clean air is rhetorical...
