You don't win 80+ races and 4 cups by being lucky. He is one of the best ever.
I'm a life-long Earnhardt fan. I rarely want Gordon to win (only if he's beating other guys I dislike more), but I do have respect for him. With the points lead he gained during the "regular season", and seeing how he and his team have picked it back up during the Chase, it's looking like #5 for him.

All racers rely somewhat on luck, but that's not enough to win in Gordon style! He's a natural, and one of only two that I watch - the other is Tony Stewart

I think talent as a race car driver may show in wins. It really depends on the team and MONEY. That said Gordon is in an elite group. I think a guy like Matt Kenseth is every bit as good.

Tony should be fun to watch next season, especially if he misses a few races running a Toyota.
The interviews will be great, look for expletives and how the car sucks. ![]()

[/ QUOTE ] Although it has never made the news headlines, both Gordon and Dale Sr. had great respect for each other. Early on, Gordon said that Dale taught him alot about Cup racing on and off the track. Earnhardt encouraged Gordon to license and control his image for marketing (Dale was the first Cup driver to do it.) They actually entered into several business partnerships before Dale passed away. I'am thinking Gordon learned well from the #3.
