no doubt Gordon is the best driver in NASCAR and arguably the best of all-time...

I have a better question, who will win first? Danical Patrick in the IRL or Dale Jr. in Nextel Cup??

Jeff is on a tear this season. It's the Jeff and Jimmie show or can we say it's the HMS show? All the HMS drivers have won at least one Cup race this season. AWESOME! Will it happen next season with Jr getting help from the HMS team? Only time will tell!
GO JEFF! Grab that #5 title this season. I think Jeff has a chance to break the total titles of 7 and can end up #2 overall in wins. He has 81 and is only 26 away from taking over second place. If he wins 3 races a year for the next 10 years he'll do it.

Jeff Gordon said a couple years ago that he won't be racing 10 years from now so, you can forget that. I see him racing for MAYBE 5 more years. Now that he has a daughter and is a dad, he'll take most of his attention to her and his family. If he gets the title this year, 5 more years max. It doesn't matter where he ends up on the all-time wins and titles list, his legacy is already written.

Not sure why this question was asked, why you said you had a better question when there hadn't even been a question asked yet, or who Danical Patrick is, but Jr. has him beat by over 7 years.

the question should be, who will win a championship with their new, better team first, based these assumptions:

Rahal Letterman Racing is to the IRL what DEI is to NASCAR.

and,

Andretti-Green Racing is to the IRL what Hendrick Motorsports is to NASCAR.

Gordon gets a bit lucky sometimes. He is good, still not convinced he is the greatest. I hate Tony Stewart more than aids, but that dude can drive the hell out of a race car.

every driver that wins races gets a bit lucky. i cant say that Smoke isnt a great driver, but Jeff Gordon is easily as talented. count the trophies.

As much as I hate the guy, he deserves to be mentioned in the Earnhardt/Petty/Pearson discussion. I personally think that Earnhardt was a better driver than Richard and accomplished alot more against better competition were as Richard inherited a lot of great equipment and experience from his dad. Well, now, Gordon is looking like he's going to win his 6th title (5 if you're going by the chase for the chamionship) and he's did it against the likes of alot more drivers with a lot better and more competitive fields. There's no reason to not believe that he's not as good as anyone

Stewart, or any other current or future driver, won't touch 80+ wins. There might not even be another guy get to 70 or 75.

Aren't Stewart and Gordon about the same age? Had they came to NASCAR at the same time, how many wins and championships would Gordon have right now?

Agreed. :)
Gordon,Stewart.....it's a team sport so you can debate forever and never get a definite answer.
Lauren Wallace.....he does it all on his own,no crew, no endorsements,no points racing.
Just winning

Jeff Gordon is the best driver in Nascar. Look at their winning percentage, Gordon has a 16.04 winning percentage compared to Tony's 10.13. Jimmie Johnson is at 13.95 percent but the next closest guy to these three is Kurt Bush at 6.75 percent. I think this number is key to the argument that Gordon has been racing longer and as for their equipment I think Tony Stewart has pretty good equipment too. I know a lot of people hate Jeff which is expected from a fan standpoint but he is a really nice guy. I got to meet him this year and he took time to sign autographs and talk with everybody and was cracking jokes and being cool. I wish all the people that don't like him could meet him and it might change their opinion of the guy.

So Gordon gets beat about 84% of the time. That says to me that variables involving the engine and chassis have a far greater impact on the outcome of the race than how good the driver is. The stats show Gordon is the most successful and is no doubt among the best drivers based on observation ie.He doesn't put his car into the wall every week like Mikey Waltrip.Tony Stewart
has pretty good equipment.Jeff Gordon has the best,most consistant,most reliable equipment in the sport
backed up by the best R&D in the sport especially with the COT.Only the 24 and 48 are set up chassis wise week in and week out to move right to the front when the green flag drops.There is a lot of credit to be spread around that attributes to Gordon's success.
The statement that Jeff Gordon is THE best driver is opinion not fact.

I wouldn't expect anything less from someone that doesn't like Gordon. Why is it when Tony is half a lap up on the field it's his talent and when Gordon is doing the same it's because of equipment? Yeah, I guess Gordon does lose 84 percent of the time which is better than Tony losing 90 percent of the time. What was the point of that, Jeff still has much better numbers than anyone other than Jimmie Johnson. Oh, and "Jeff Gordon has the best equipment" is also an opinion not a fact. Where were those claims in 2005 when he didn't make the chase and Tony was dominating? That was just two seasons ago not last decade. Roush Racing has the most valuable organization according to Forbes so how is Hendrick any better than them? You are right, there is a lot of credit to be passed around for Gordon's success but the same could be said for Tony Stewart too. It's also just an opinion that LSU is better than Vanderbilt in football but the numbers don't lie. I'll take Jeff Gordon over any other Nascar driver any day of the week opinion or not. Oh, and who would you say is the best current driver and why?
