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.

Roush-Fenway is not hurting in the $$$ department. Kenseth is a good driver when his equipment is on the money. It takes a great driver to drive your car to the front when the handling is garbage and you need to find a different line around the track to make it work.

If Stewart drove as well as he whined he'd be a 7 time Champion.

Yea, a guy that's been a champ in the IRL, sprint cars and Nascar is a better whiner than he is a driver

I think at any given time all of the big name drivers have been known to whine, including old Jeffy.

Exactly! My son (7) loves Tony Stewart so I hold my tongue when Stewart's leading a race. At the entry to our local Home Depot there's a Coke machine with a life-size Tony Stewart on the front (as if he actually drank "red" sugar-filled Coke). People keep blackening Tony's middle teeth with Sharpies and the vendor finally stopped trying to clean it off.

I like Jeff Gordon because so many people hate him. Hell of a good driver too.

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.
