The man that made me a fan of NASCAR. Long live Jeff Gordon
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.
@@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.
@@bobclark1594 Oh yeah so your one of those annoying Jeff Gordon fanboys that hate Jimmie Johnson and all of his both success & greatness. Heck you would probably think he’s talentless and Danica Patrick is better than him 🤡
@@ryanflores4414 nope...Danica was not talented, especially in NASCAR...do the math and see who (Jeff or Jimmy) would have won more titles using real point scheme...36 races...champion is who has MOST points for whole season. Hands down, Jeff.
Bob Clark nobody thinks Jimmie is better than Jeff
Jeff Gordon's original DuPont-sponsored stock car paint jobs were really colorful, which is one of the reasons Jeff Gordon was one of my all-time favorite NASCAR drivers back in the 2000s. To this day, he still is. He had a fantastic NASCAR career!
Truly, he's one of the greats.
@@NASCAR Oh yeah, he sure is, and he will always be! Thanks for your reply! I really appreciate it.
They looked good
@@NASCAR Jeff Gordon Is A True Legend!
My dad used to be on the team that painted his shells. He used to get hospitality tickets here in fontana to watch the races. jeff was a cool ass guy when he would visit once and awhile
Jeff Gordon, possibly the best NASCAR driver to never make it to 7 championships strictly due to the format.
🏆🏆🏆🏆
Even with it a few bad breaks, killed it. 2004 should have been a sure fire championship
@@coderider9019
2004, 2007, and 2014.
@@joshuapittman4663 , I totally agree man! I always tell people those three years as well!
After watching Black Flags Matter talk about it. Breaks my heart.
Dale Earnhardt was 20 times better
The most wins in the Modern Era with 93.
The most Crown Jewel wins with 17.
The most road course wins with 9.
Tied for most Restrictor Plate wins with 12.
The most Poles in the Modern Era with 81.
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).
He also finished in the top 3 in points nine times in his career.
Several others make the case to be the best, but Wonder Boy is The GOAT.
Nope the intimidator is nascar's greatest driver ever 7 to 4
@@rcracer8872 I don’t agree with your opinion, but I will respect your right to say it.
@@rcracer8872 if Gordon raced under the Winston cup format for his whole career like Sr did. He would also have 7 titles to his name. Gordon would of been a champion in 04, 07, and 14. Not really a fair take to Gordon when he would have tied Sr had he still raced under the same format that Sr did.
@@jakegibson9219 you don't know that! under a different format drivers would have raced differently strategy would have changed
@@rcracer8872 so you’re telling me Sr would stop going for the wins after knowing he was locked up in the chase? Or that he would stop going for a win after he knew he was locked into the next round of the playoffs? You’re telling me that drivers would stop trying to get the best finish possible? It’s not some switch they can flip on and off. That’s what makes you the best is by always staying consistent and consistently finishing well. That’s how you win races and championships, ya know like how Sr did...
"He's the best driver in the best era. And there's no better than best." - Mario Andretti on Jeff Gordon
From 95 - 99 Gordon won 47 races incredible, my childhood hero.
And add the 3 races won in 1994 is ¡50! Races won between 1994 and 1999
This makes me so sad. I wish he had kept up that pace.
Gordon will always be the GOAT in my heart
Aye carnation is here
He IS THE GOAT! It took a drastic system change to stop him. The Playoffs are a joke... 2020 proved it
Him and Johnson are the 2 greatest drivers ever IMO.
oh definitely. I kinda wish I saw him in his prime but watching him become the series 3rd winningest driver in the cup series has been so fulfilling for me
Wrong Gordon is great
But Dale Earnhardt will always be the greatest all time
1993-2000: Rainbow Warriors
2001-12: Flame Warriors
2013-15: The Red Velvet
Jeff always had some great looking cars
2011: Cameo on Cars 2 (Corvette C6R)
I became a fan of nascar thanks to this man. I miss him behind the wheel.
His final ever win in 2015 made me so speechless.
I was speechless when nascar gave a championship to a guy who missed half the season in 2015!
@@FeartheCyr611 Same
Nobody was better than Jeff Gordon when he was at his best.

@@tyreepowell8367 Dale is the goat get over it
@@nascarandrc8296 No he isn't.
@Christopher I Wolf wrong Dale was better petty raced at a time when there was far more races per year and far less rules to what you could do to your car learn Nascar
My entire life I’ve been a Jeff Gordon fan and I’m so grateful I was able to witness how great of a driver he was. You would’ve had more championships if it weren’t for the stupid point system
I was a 6 years old Hispanic kid who was obsessed with NASCAR and no one understood me except for my 2nd grade teacher who also loved Jeff Gordon and NASCAR (she named each row in class after Dale Earnhardt 3, Tony Stewart 20, Rainbow Warriors 24 ❤) RIP Ms. Phillips
I respect this guy with a passion due to fact he put up a fight with out giving up to his team and his teammates
He truly shined at every type of track. One of the greats of all time, fan for life
I grew up spending many Sunday afternoons, sitting in the floor of our living room when I was young, from age 10 to 14, then many Sundays in my room yelling at the TV throughout my teenage years, rooting for jeff , single handedly the reason I ever became interested in cars and racing. A love I still have today. Regardless how you feel about jeff, it's no doubt he is an absolute legend, and one of the best to ever do it.
I grew up in VA in the 90s, Jeff Gordon, Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, and Pete Sampras made me fall in love with sport
What a time to be alive
I don't care what anyone says, Jeff is the greatest of all time. He won 93 races in the two most competitive eras of NASCAR, and would have won at least 6 championships if the format actually allowed the best driver to win. No disrespect to Dale Earnhardt or Richard Petty.
G.O.A.T
Jeff Gordon's whole career is a great highlight period...
As a Gordon fan, it’s sad when you hear them talking in 2001 how he already won 4 championships at 30 year old, and he never got another 😢
At that time, it seemed like he’d rewrite the record books on championships.
@@DavidJameson89 Gordon The Greatest
Didn't they change the point system and screwed Gordon on championships?
@@JoseAntonio-pb7nd Yea they changed the points system in 2004. Under the old points system, Gordon would have won the championship in 2004, 2007, and 2014. The 2007 championship in particular is probably the biggest robbery in NASCAR history.
Thats because you don't win Championships any more, you win chases
Jeff is the main reasons why I loved watching NASCAR since 2003.
Jeff Gordon is the Iron man and the master of the road courses I will never forget the day Dale Sr and Jeff Gordon
He is also the master of indy five wins
Great job with that a fitting tribute to Jeff Gordon.
Thanks for watching!
Watching him win at Martinsville in 2015 actually made me cry a little. Never cried in my life at a sporting event. I was so excited the driver i've been watching and pulling for my whole life was going to have a chance to go out as a champion.
Loved Jeff. A lot of time spent at tracks watching him win.
That 93rd win is as clear in my mind as the night it happened. Very few athletes at that level get to have their "one last moment in the sun". Gordon got his at Martinsville.
Jeff Gordon is one of the drivers that will go down in history
GOAT. That Martinsville win feeling is a feeling I never wanted to end. It would have only been topped if he won the Championship.
That was such a memorable day!
Jeff Gordon has Matt kenseth to thank
REAL 7 TIME CHAMPION!!
*** NOT THE BULLCRAP CHASE FORMATS***
Well done NASCAR Raindow warriors for life
Yup
That my boy
My first favorite driver as a kid. I had a cereal bowl with him and Earnhardt on it. Love him or hate him you have to respect him and all he did and still does for the sport!
What an incredible achievements Jeff Gordon he has !!!!!
The reason he was my favorite NASCAR driver.
The Greatest of All Time!!!
Nope Earnhardt is
Man the goosebumps I got watching him tie Dale for wins! I almost lost it when he celebrated with that flag! Thank you nascar for this video!
Will always be the GOAT in my mind! If it weren't for the stupid chase we'd forever be talking about Jeff Gordon the 7 time cup champion.
Shit, maybe even 8 time champion
Dale is goat cry all you want
Still the reason I loved NASCAR. Still my #1 Champ and my forever #24❤️❤️
My grandfather and I were huge Gordon fans growing up and to this day, he's my all time favorite driver!!!!! He made me really get into the sport more and his iconic paint scheme was the best and pure 90s amazingness!!!!!
I'm proud to say I watched Gordo my whole life, and saw 90% of these. He was my favourite driver.
I still can’t believe I’m 36 years old, grew up watching this guys and cheering for him. I was 7-8 years old and had no clue what nascar was and then the race was on at my grandparents house and this guy in a rainbow car won and from that day forward I was a NASCAR fan and die hard Gordon fan. NASCAR wasn’t the same after the 2005-2007 but I still watched bc of Gordon. While the sport now is board line pathetic I at least get to say I got to cheer for one of the great and watch him battle the great Dale Earnhardt. I loved watching Gordon and Earnhardt race each other, the respect and drive that made each drive better. It saddens me that all great things come to a end.
Growing up, I always wanted to go to a NASCAR race because I loved the cars and the drivers. I loved Jeff Gordon’s Impala from 08’ and that color and the color scheme was amazing and up to this day I still haven’t gone to a race but watching his achievements on UA-cam was as close to watching the race in the speedway
Me and my wife are going to hit Daytona next year. Will be my first race.
And the fact that Indy is turning into a Road Race, Gordon will likely have the record on the Oval forever
I can’t believe they got rid of the oval race😞. It was so cool seeing stock cars go around there.
@@codyharris3928 Once the novelty wore off, it was boring to watch. Indy isn't a great venue for stock car racing.
Not to mention that tire debacle in 2008 drove away all the fans.
Jeff Gordon is who made me a NASCAR fan. He’s the man!
It was an absolute amazing experience being a fan, I was lucky enough to get stuff from him personally in the mail and also get to talk to him at New Hampshire Speedway while he was in his car, best experience of my childhood, hands down. If I had a father figure this would be the guy.
This guy won more races than Jimmie Johnson ever did. Jeff is the goat.
I miss caring about racing. Miss my boy Gordon out there! No other driver like him!
I’ve never seen anyone better than him. Don’t think I ever will.
To think he could have won the championship in his final season, it would have been incredible.
Thank-You Nascar & Thank-You Jeff for all the great racing!
Jeff Gordon will forever be my favorite driver!
24 mins, 24 seconds. If only this was uploaded on the 24th.
I miss these days so much
I'm the same age as Jeff, I started off rooting for him in the 90s just because my brother liked Earnhardt and everyone hated Gordon lol. I get nostalgic for this era of racing.
This man is the GOAT, he is what got me into NASCAR and inspired me with many things, God Bless Jeff Gordon.
No hes not Dale Earnhardt is nascar's greatest driver ever 7 championships to 4 and a better career average finish
Shut up, the only thing Dale beats Jeff in was championships. Jeff had better stats while racing less than Dale.
@@rcracer8872 93>76
@@kalebdegroot7825 7 to 4 championship are bigger than wins
I was lucky enough to see Jeff Gordon win a couple of these highlights in person, among other races I saw him win in person. But, I wish I could have seen him win his final career race at Martinsville. Very emotional, more than the 1st victory! Nascar has really changed, my wife and I would travel to 2, sometimes 3 races a year. We just don't anymore. It used to be it was very hard to get a ticket, not so much anymore. Different times. Miss you, Jeff!
Jeff Gordon best driver no cap, change my mine
@Well this Isn’t convenient no mines to change. Use it on North Korea
Agree. Johnson is the 2nd closest to Gordon IMO
Dale was better
@@nascarandrc8296 93>76
As a mark Martin fan both Gordon and Martin raced each other clean so respect for Jeff Gordon from a mark Martin fan
Talk about another badass driver. Mark Martin is a legend
Without Jeff GorGoat we wouldn't have Jimmie of Johnson
Yes
💯
Not only Jeff Gordon is a goat at racing but he also is a goat as recruiting! Jimmie and Chase!
@@ryanflores4414 What did Jeff have to do with Chase being brought to Hendrick? (Serious question btw)
Thanks to jimmie, jeff Gordon is an 11 time nascar champion
Still watch nascar to this day, and it’s single handedly because of this guy.
In '96 I was given a shirt to wear at my first ever job, as a pot washer, it was red and had du pont on it, saw race highlights on tv, became a Jeff fan ever since (from England)
I was really hoping Jeff would get that 5th Championship before ol' 7X but then we wouldn't have had JJ's history making moments either.
The system propelled JJ, without the playoffs, Jeff would be the 7X Champ
nobody in nascar has more highlights. biggest star in north american auto racing

I’m a casual fan. I would always check out Jeff and Jimmy. My goats.
Was and always will be my favorite. Love ya Jeff.
24 minutes of greatness very poetic
Jeff Gordon is the reason why I watch Nascar
Hopefully the full version of the 1994 Coca Cola 600 will be uploaded on your channel! 🙏🏻
i remember growing up and watching jeff gordon hold his own to the legends of racing, Dale Earnhardt, Richard petty, and numerous others. was always my favorite driver
Jeff Gordon is the reason I watched NASCAR as a kid and loved and when he retired I just didn’t enjoy it as much. Now a days I watch more F1 than anything but Jeff Gordon will always be my all time favorite race car driver
Watched the '93 Daytona 500 at the NCO Club at Bitburg Germany! Have been a Jeff Gordon fan ever since!
NASCAR highlights are something else
Call me bitter but The REAL 3rd 7 Time Champion 24Ever!!!
Jeff Gordon will always be my favorite NASCAR driver 🏁🏎

Dale also has a better average points finish
A better career race finish
And wasn't handed everything immediately in career like Jeff was
Dale was far better child
@@nascarandrc8296 The only thing Dale was ahead of Jeff was championships. Other than that, Jeff clears Dale in everything else.
I was a die hard number 3 fan, Gordon was probably the best thing to ever happen to nascar next to number 3 as far as fan bases and excitement on the track it was a great time for nascar fans 👍
love me some jeff gordon. fond memories watching him while i was growing up and glad he's still around for racedays on fox!
I’m so thrilled they included his win at North Wilkesboro. That win there was an awesome moment in Jeff’s career.
One my favorite racers. Crazy I work for DuPont now all I can think about is Jeff.
Jeff Gordon:
Come for the colorful liveries, stay for pure driving talent.
I remember watching the 2004 Daytona 500 and the commentators were talking about Jeff Gordon. And after that race. I became a fan
Jeff is my hero
Damn, I had forgotten. That was a lot of great memories right there. I remember all of them & I was in person at the race for 6 of them. My God, what could’ve been. When Ray left in 99. Then when Jeff hurt his back in 04. It was just never the same after that.
Jeff's performance on superspeedways gets a lot of press, but he was a master of road courses!
Very true, I was saying that watching his wins on road courses in this video.
I remember Talladega 2007 I was there. Me and my dad flew all the way there from California and my favorite driver won the race it was the best day ever
When I see the clip of his final Martinsville win, it's impossible for me to not watch the whole video again. 🙌🏼
24 minutes 24 seconds very good nascar very good
Anybody gonna talk about the length of the video???? 24 minutes and 24 seconds..... Well done Nascar! Well freakin DONE!!!!
My Favorite NASCAR Driver Since I Was A Kid
My all time nascar diver 💯🏆🏆🏆❤️❤️
The greatest of all time
I know a lot of the old heads didn't like Gordon, like my dad, in the late 90s and early 00's but he is the silent reason I enjoyed watching racing at a young age. Used to be glued to the TV to watch him race
As “dominant” as the 48 team was from 06-10 still wasn’t as impressive as Gordon’s team from 95-98.
Yea it was almost surprising when Gordon didn't win back then.
I vividly remember as a kid watching in 1998, he finished the Bristol night race in 5th and the next day the headlines were “what’s wrong with the 24 team?!” 😂 now THAT is dominance!
So many memories, watching on Sundays ...Jeff was so dominant it was strange if he didn't win. Only other drivers I remember winning in the late 90s was Mark Martin and Dale Jarrett
The goat
Jeff was an absolute unit back in the day.
You knew where to find me on Sundays.🇺🇸✊🏼
I started watching when I was 7 years old I watched his entire career I got choked up would that final Martinsville win knowing that that might be his last I'll never forget the memories 24ever
My uncle Alan Wiley was always a number one fan!!! Rip bud. I'm happy to get drunk AF with u with this win!!!
