NASCRAFT BK didn't help, but there's 2 other things that the #24 could've done that could've helped him get into the final 4: 1) He could've chose the inside line for the restart. The Keselowski thing most likely wouldn't have happened, and the inside line was usually the preferred line. Even if Keselowski got around Jeff to win, Jeff's 2nd place finish would've eventually given him enough points to get into the final 4. I mean, that could've been 3 straight top-2 finishes. 2) He could've taken the left side tires first when he was on pit road so that he could've had a better chance of beating the pace car off pit road. That could've at least got him some positions back. I mean, he missed the final 4 by 1 point.
NASCRAFT That would've got just as much infamy as the 2013 Richmond scandal, though. I don't really blame Newman, though. Personally, if I were in his shoes, I'd probably do the same thing. The Chase should've never been made, and that's the exact reason why.
@@rcracer8872 jeff won way more races against harder competition than Dale did...And wouldve won the same championships if the format wouldve stayed the same as Earnhardt's did...Sorry...Gordon was way more talented
Awesome job. The new part really captures the ups and downs of his final season. That win at Martinsville was incredible to watch, and will be difficult to beat.
And Jimmie Johnson is proof that chase format wasnt the way to go. Made the sport extremely stale watching the same guy win the chip over and over again. Dont even get me started on the win and you're in nonsense lol
+Fozz Gate haha NASCAR is in so much denial about where the sport is headed, they are too insecure with themselves to listen to the REAL fans. That discussion page on their channel is flooded with fans like me that are beyond frustrated with the direction the sport is going.
@@rcracer8872 bull shit, he raced against a bunch of inbred hicks who's IQs combined were less than 15. Dude was a bitch, that got lucky his dad was smart enough to pull out of his sister. Fuck him and fuck you
I love how Brad pointed out Jeff being a 7 time champ if NASCAR didn't change the format. He had a shot at having 8. I just wish Jeff could have driven the COT better. he struggles with it from 2008-2010. I feel like the loss to JJ in 2007 got into his head. he didn't seem the same from 2008-2015. idt he had more than 4wins in a season and that only happened in '11 and '14. the other years were either 0 ,1, or 2.
I wouldn't say raw end. he was still better than Jr, Casey, Kasey, and Mark. Jeff did pick JJ and he kind of has 10 championships when you think about it. Jeff said he just couldn't get a good handle on the COT unlike the guys at RFR, JGR, and JJ. Jimmie was the reason HMS was even talked about from 2008-2010.
Jeff Gordon is my hero my favorite driver I have to agree this new format is horrible if it's not broke don't fix it it worked for so long you earn what u earn ty JG for all the memories #24 for life
to all the Earnhardt fanboys that hate Jeff Gordon, Dale and Jeff was best friends, they respected each other, sure they may have rattled their cages time and time again, but if it wasn't for Dale teaching Jeff, Jeff wouldn't be the legend and champion he is today, and of the drivers that race in the cup series, he's the one that raced against him the most
best of all tine think if he raced just a couple more years. or till he was 50 like dale sr did. gordon wouldnt be touched he csnt be touched now. #gordon
The freakin chase format blows Stages ?? It’s not about the driver TEAM ..keep the mechanics together for an entire 400/600 miles Talent behind the wheel AMD behind the pitwall and race shop.. totally not racing today as yesteryear
Even Brad Daugherty agrees that Jeff Gordon should be a 7-time champion.
Yeah if they didn't change the chase format he would have 6-7 championships
Plus Keselowski ruined it for us in 2014

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
Very well done!!
Watched the 500 today,not the same!
That Martinsville win was AWESOME!
The best of all time IMO!
A true champion of the sport.

JG is the reason the chase was born,, debate me on that...
And Jimmie Johnson is proof that chase format wasnt the way to go. Made the sport extremely stale watching the same guy win the chip over and over again. Dont even get me started on the win and you're in nonsense lol
I think during 2001, Jeff Gordon did a great job even in 2014. If Dale Sr saw Jeff win the 2001 Nascar season, He'd be proud.
Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon. The 2016 NASCAR Sprint Unlimited looked like a Busch Series race. I'm going back to watch WWE.

If Evernham wouldve stayed, and the points format wouldve stayed the same. Jeff would be a 10 time Nascar champion...
Hahahahaha no he wouldn't besides my favorite driver all-time Dale Earnhardt won 7 jeff only 4
How many did Earnhardt win after 1994 exactly? Oh yeah that's right! Wonder Boy put an end to that.
The Rainbow Warrior
Man if evernham would have never left...
He would be second all time in wins that's for sure and who knows how many more championships.
There is no maybe Jeff Gordon is the best driver of all time.

Jeff drove the COT fine. He was a victim of bad luck and getting the raw end of the deal equipment wise.

This year Jeff Gordon is replacing one of his teammates
The freakin chase format blows
Stages ??
It’s not about the driver
TEAM ..keep the mechanics together for an entire 400/600 miles
Talent behind the wheel AMD behind the pitwall and race shop.. totally not racing today as yesteryear
Awesome!!!!!
Would you do another one of Gordon coming out of retirement?
I honestly don't know. Great Idea though, thanks for the suggestion.
What was the song used?
+TheJackestarr "Lost But Won" by Hans Zimmer.
Not the last...
Very true but once Jimmie retires I don’t see any talent that matches in the new generation.

Jeff is and was the Greatest Driver Ever!

Bullshit
Nope thats Dale Earnhardt

Did he retire?
He retired from full time cup racing, but has been Dale Jr.'s replacement driver while he's been out with concussion-like symptoms.
Oh ok
Dam the stupid chase format....
Gordon should be 7 time champ....not Johnson
y can't jr do this lol jr need to win next at char or daytona in a few weeks

2. Petty
3. Earnhardt
