Self esteem and pride are built in pieces. In life and in racing. Triumphs add a little piece here, a larger piece there. Jimmie Johnson added a enormous piece a year ago at Infineon Raceway when got his first Sprint Cup victory on a road course.

NASCAR – The Greatest Drivers Ever

The greatest NASCAR drivers of all time are quite obvious if you appear at the records book, so let me just give the courteous nod to the greats who have held a lot of records for several years, like the excellent Richard Petty. I’m not going to name them all, but I will mention Dale Earnhardt. Now, Dale made his mark, but I don’t like him. He’s not my type of racer, but he was the right type for his day, when items were far more rough and tumble, when the sport was still in the process of making a genuine name for itself.

I prefer the thinking driver, one who learns and presents himself with a bit a lot more polish, and that would be the wonderful Jeff Gordon. I comprehend that a lot of Dale fans seem to hate him, but the reality is that he and Dale were pals and business associates. Not only that, but Dale was a bit of a mentor for Jeff, and when Dale talked, Jeff listened. I do not believe folks have given Jeff Gordon sufficient credit for those listening skills, and now they boo him simply because he’s performing what Dale taught him. It’s ironic.
What is going to be Jeff’s undoing, although, is the Chase. Were it not for the four-year-old program, he’d have two more titles under his belt. Folks need to feel about that. Now, he’s not whining about it. In truth, he likes the Chase, but it does have to present at least an asterisks in the record books. He is a six-time champion, were it not for this new program. 1 must wonder if Petty and Dale would be so highly ranked if they had a Chase to deal with.

Not only that, but the COT, the Automobile of Tomorrow that is now the Auto of Right now has also been a factor. The old time greats didn’t have to deal with that, any much more than they did the Chase. It is an impact that at least needs to be acknowledged.

That said, there’s no denying that Jeff Gordon has his location in the record books and amongst the all time greats. He does have four official championships under his belt, and he’s the acknowledged leader by the other drivers, whether or not he wants to be. Dale Earnhardt Jr. stated recently that the older drivers respect him, but he doesn’t actually believe the younger ones do, and the reason for that is that he doesn’t have something to truly say that he’s (Jr.) a excellent driver – the stats just aren’t there. Well, they are there for Jeff Gordon, and he still has a few years of driving ahead of him, too, before he retires from racing.

Greatness is much more than stats in my book, too. Greatness is becoming a presence and representing your sport with class and graciousness. This is one thing Jeff Gordon excels at. He’s great for the sport, and he brought NASCAR out of the southls and into the mainstream due to his early success and recognition. He takes his role seriously. In these troubled monetary times, he’s usually flying on commercial planes instead of hiring a private plane. He feels it is important to send a message.

Jeff Gordon is 1 of the all-time greatest NASCAR drivers and always will be. From the record books to becoming a class act, he’s earned his success. As an active driver, he’s a bit underrated, one thing Jeff Burton expressed not to long ago. In an interview, Burton said he didn’t actually think that Jeff was becoming given his due.

Time will prove my words. Jeff Gordon is an all-time excellent, both as a driver and as a human being.
