Oh by the way...

[lawdog]

Jeff Gordon clinched the season points for the sixth time in his career this past weekend. That's six times now...

[harvey lee]

Dog, I think Johnson is in first or thats at least what I thought they said on the news and NASCAR.

[PikeBayCommanche]

I agree congrats Jeff!!!

[fishonnopeoff]

Still living in the past I see.....

[LMITOUT]

From what I hear all the time on TV he's got four championships and trying for the fifth. Not sure where that 6th one snuck in there.

[harvey lee]

He may not even get the 5th this season as JJ is hot and Gordo has cooled down. I will say that it will be a Hendrick car but just maybe the 48 and not the half of it.

[Sifty]

I would have to agree with you HarveyLee I think the 48 is on a roll and the 24 has had a hard time as of late.

[Sutty]

I think the post was season points, not championships :-) I think it is relevant and I still think Gordon will win the chase.

[LMITOUT]

Do they give out a trophy for season points?

Hard time the guy has had one of the most consistent seasons ever.

His worst finish so far in the chase is 11th at Dover along with

2 wins

a 3rd

2 7th place finishes

a 2nd

and 5th.

The Chase is stupid because Jimmy has alot of his favorite tracks so if he comes in the the chase in good standing he is set up.

i don't know about the whole chase deal. It does not make me want to watch it anymore that normally.

Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt got seven trophies each for that exact thing and because of it are considered two of the best ever...

[LMITOUT]

Yep...that's when finishing first in season points meant something, unlike now.

PBC I see what you are saying the problem with the 24 is that the 48 is winning race's and is leading laps as of late.

Even with the 24 winning two race's and finsihing in the top ten. He his still losing points in the last few race's.

Not even remotely close to reality.

Don't worry Dog Gordon will steal one of these non-sense chase titles before he's done.

The 6th points title is nice though and does confirm Gordon is the best in the game and arguably the BEST of All Time.

Go Hendrick!

[muc33]

eeeeeww, I think I just tasted some THROW UP!!!!

I am ok with JJ, just for the fact that he did not let Poster Boy win that race earlier this year. But please, no more Gordon, yes he is good, but lacks any personality except for whiner and pity boy. Reminds me of Dan Marino, great at what they do, but whine, whine, whine.

[PikeBayCommanche]

i am yet to understand what Jeff "whines" about that other drivers don't.

Being realitivly new to watching in depth(last 5 years)

please do elaborate

[harvey lee]

I dont care for JJ but go JJ.

Maybe we should all e-mail NASCAR and let them know that Gordon is the man and there is no sense of even finishing the season.

I already did...........haha

I know the season is not over according to the Chase but Jeff has been unreal consistant and based on the old points system is miles ahead of everyone except Jimmie even though he could not beat Jeff based on the old points.

[NAPAFISH]

Gordon said it recently. His team is being outperformed. How bout a can of

As far as the whine goes, lets just harken back to the 1st Martinsville race this year. He was literally crying on the radio.

[harvey lee]

I honestly dont understand why some continue to count the old way when its gone by.

Times change in life and one really needs to accept change. It happens everyday and can one continue to stay in dream world????

[PikeBayCommanche]

Not when it doesn't make any sense though Harvey.

Fine but the SOLUTION is

Regular Season Champ and

Chase Champion

Makes sense to me. What doesn't make sense is 10 races from the end of the season taking the Top 12 and saying well were kinda startin over so Jeff that 346 point lead means Jack Pine and acctually your in 2nd place............huh howd they thunk that.

It's about ratings over true grind it out racing....Explain to me how its not.

Overall Jeff has been consistently stronger throughout the entire season than everyone. How can you ever compare the drivers of the past to the future now the way it is set up.

[fishonnopeoff]

Every time I go to the gas station and pay for my gas.......I just say it used to be $1 a gallon so that's what I'm going to pay......

Rainbows to flames.......you do the math

[PierBridge]

Choking would be blowing a big lead or finishing poorly in the chase race's.

What's happening is JJ is dominating on the track like no other driver in the history of Nascar has done....Simple really and to be honest what JJ has done in his career to date is of historic proportions.....

Although it's not over yet I think Harvey hit on the head JJ and Knaus are more in tune and prepared than JG and Letarte are....

Do you have any more pretty pictures Napa?....

Go Hendrick Motor Sports!

[harvey lee]

Pier

Thats why I really believe that JJ will win. Knaus and JJ are just more in tune with each other. Not saying Gordon isnt good but I dont believe at this time thatthe Gordon duo can out do the JJ duo. Knaus is awesome. They can be in serious trouble and you can never count them out. They have to be the best come back team in NASCAR.
