What happened, is this: All the old guys who picked on him (everybody but Mark Martin and Dale Jarrett) were gone. Rudd, Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace, etc. so now he had to be the enforcer, because besides Tony Stewart and Jeff Burton there really wasn’t anybody else who had the respect of the field and the length of time in their career to tell you when you were wrong and not bs about it.
Jeff’s real downfall was that crash at Vegas. It messed up his back so bad he was starting to get arthritis before he was even in his mid 40’s.
Jeff Gordon should be on NASCAR’S Mount Rushmore for The Foreseeable Future!
Richard Petty
David Pearson
Dale Earnhardt
Jeff Gordon
There it is
Forever
Gordon was correct though, he didn't intentionally spin Kenseth at Chicagoland. The replay showed that Kenseth slowed up which caused Gordon to spin him, then I think it was revealed that Kenseth had a tire going down.
This guy clearly isn’t a JG fan, especially when he spouted that BS. Even the announcers noticed it wasn’t on purpose
Fun Fact: GTA VI Will be The First Ever GTA game to be released without Jeff Gordon competing as a driver
What lol???
@@alanluscombe8a553 GTA V (The Most Recent Game of The Franchise) was released in 2013 and Jeff Gordon retired from Full Time racing in 2015 (Officially in 2016)
Bruh at 8:59, Kevin Harvick pushing Brad towards Gordon is one of the best things I’ve ever seen
“You gotta try to keep respect in the garage area. You can’t get yourself ran over. You can’t get into The Chase next year & get run over for the same reason.” - Matt Kenseth at Martinsville 2015.
Jeff never looked for these fights/clashes in the twilight of his career. However, Jeff knew that he had to make a stand & prevent others from running over him.
Despite these brawls, Jeff closed out his career better than any driver in The Modern Era.
Jeff won 11 races in his final five seasons. He finished 10th or better in points in each of those years. And he contended for the title in his final two seasons.
By comparison, most drivers are shells of their former selves in their last few years (e.g. Jimmie Johnson, Richard Petty & Tony Stewart).
Jeff is easily in NASCAR’s Mount Rushmore.
2012 was so painful to watch. he was just as fast in 2012 as he was in 2011, but had SO much back luck
Still beats his 2005 Season Even with 4 Wins that said year
@@NASCARFAN93100 yeah 2005 at the non-short tracks was BAD for Jeff, but he was figuring them out the end of the year (see Atlanta and Homestead)
@@jonathangrey6354 Yeah but still, The Worst Season of his career going by his Average Finish
I remember after getting collected in a wreck at the Talladega spring race, he said the bad luck was almost comical at that point. Could tell he was so down and confused by it all. That year absolutely sucked.
Jeff Gordon and Mike skinner were my favorite drivers back in the day
Bro I was 14 too during that 2012 martinsville race and it was the most mad and sad I had ever been watching NASCAR. I even felt bad for Jimmie!
Robby Gordon at New Hampshire 2001, Ryan Newman at Rockingham 2003. Jeff wasn't entirely a pacifist in the early years.
Didn't he spin Tony Stewart at Bristol in the spring race in 2001?
The Greatest Driver in NASCAR History
Not even close child
Dale 7 Jeff 4
@@Alex-dc5mxJeff has 94 wins dale has 76
What’s your point here?
If Jeff’s entire career was under the Winston points system, he would have 7 too
Jeff actually had 93 wins 😊
@@chasebriscoefan14u don't know that moron. drivers would have raced different under a different format their strategy would have changed
The only guys who have more wins than Gordon raced in a distant past. Jeff parked it in Victory Lane more than Earnhardt and Johnson. If not for NASCAR’s ridiculous “post-season” He would have as many championships as anyone. Jeff is absolutely in the GOAT conversation. It’s hard to compare eras, but Petty, Earnhardt, Gordon>>>everyone else.
Jimmie Johnson dominated for a decade; I don't understand why people discount that.
@@lpbbinc I think it’s because people see Chad Knause as being the main ingredient to the #48 team’s success. Jimmie has been sorry since he’s been away from Chad, whether in NASCAR or Indy.
@@mlwilliam213 I mean he also had a massive crash at Pocono with his break failure. That was pretty much the beginning of the end.
The real reason is no one respects the Chase. Jimmies 7 Championships were in the Chase. Meaning the best driver in the whole year may not win it. Plus he was the champ during the slide in Nascars ratings
Hey Burton and Gordon are class acts and I always respected how Burton admitted he was wrong and ate it. He is one of the few drivers that when he says his point of view of what happened I don’t think he is lying
Jeff Gordon and Brad Keslowski fight was awesome!
It’s from getting his brain scrambled for 20 years. Dale jr got more angry as he got older as well. It’s also a well documented symptom of repeated concussions
He said he was racing for points and not the win!!!
Robby Gordon is a very lucky man to win two races at Jeff expense!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Forever The GOAT
I think it has something to do with being almost unbeatable on the track week after week to having frustrating years
I’ve always thought he may like jimmy as a friend off track but when he brought him into nascar everything went to shit for Jeff from year 1 of jimmy’s career. Not a coincidence he suddenly just falls off while suddenly the potential second greatest crew chief ever and a damn photo perfect lap making driver get put together with Jeff’s equipment from years passed and it fucked him. It seemed when him and jimmy started bouncin off each other during jimmy’s 5peat reign that Jeff was sick of it but knew he created it. He’s the true 7+ 100+ champ and winner
@@jwrailve3615 I watched a Dale Jr podcast where someone said Jeff Gordon can translate car data to the team and everyone benefited from it. They also said look how much Jimmie Johnson fell off once Gordon retired.
@@edruggiero1648 that was the ray evernham Kevin harvick interview it was very good and worth listening to. Chad wouldn’t have known half of what he knew without ray and Jeff’s work
@@jwrailve3615 It was Harvick’s interview! I still think had Ray never left they would’ve won more than 7 titles. 1999-2000 were adjustment years and I don’t think Brian Whitesell was although an Everham engineer a good crew chief.
@@edruggiero1648 04-07-12-14. I will NEVER FORGIVE Brad for costing Jeff the title in 12 people forget had he not gotten wrecked by Brad he ended up winning homestead so he would’ve won the title. Fuckkkk Brad keselowski
The Jeff and Jeff fight was the most unexpected one at the time. Sure the Matt and Jimmie thing happened. But still Gordon wasn’t overly known for fighting. Then Jeff Burton?!? The Mayor? I mean what?
The second time he called out Jimmie Johnson was justified. Johnson blocked Gordon at Talladega while Gordon was going 15MPH faster than anyone else.
nice vid once again!
Forsake I don't know how Jeff going to become a fighter but still I perspective him although I never watching race ever my first race ever saw was the 2017 Chicago race but still I respect him I still respect him the guy now owns one of the biggest teams in NASCAR and let me tell you if it wasn't for Gordon probably NASCAR wouldn't write their peak in the 90s or that or or Dale Earnhardt senior and also because of him it started one of the iconic robberies from NASCAR history his robbery with Dale Earnhardt senior and Brad keselowski and Clint bowyer Rusty Wallace and Matt kenseth but still I think that 24 car is in good hands William Byron Byron actually shows that he's good in the 24 Chase Elliott he was all right in the 24 although he almost won 2017 Martinsville race until Denny Hamlin had to f****** over but still if everything was all still all right until 2007 we will probably but probably have Jeff Gordon be the next x7 champion and let me tell you some of his cars were iconic #24ever
To be fair in 2011 clint kinda had no where to go during martinsville. Ryan newman did give him the shove of the century going into turn 1. But past that it seemed clint bowyer kinda toyed with Jeff
@10:21 Indeed!
6:00 actually there is an explanation
Apparently the team told David to not pit even though he was telling the team there's a problem but they told him to stay out because they needed that car to stay in the top 35 and owner points because of Danica Patrick taking over that car for next year if you stay in the top 35 in owner points you'll be locked into the field next year
Just going to put this out here so people don't go after the driver it wasn't his fault it was the team's fault.
Good job lying about JG being frustrated with JJ at Texas. Truth is JJ got aero loose with JG behind him, Jeff had the faster car and JJ didn’t like being outmaneuvered so HE rammed into Jeff, JJ was the one who lost his cool and reacted like a b*tch in that exchange, NOT Jeff. Jeff’s “4-Time’s a little upset” was a jab at Jimmie because he recognized the 48 rammed him when he had his hissy fit about being passed.
I'll be honest, I hated Jeff Gordon early in his career, probably up through about 2008 or 2009
Somewhere around 2010 I really didn't know why I hated him other than it was what everybody did... and I actually found myself rooting for Jeff the last 5-6 years of his career. One thing for sure, Jeff is amongst the goats of nascar
Jeff wrecking Clint was one of the best moments ever. Clint was a mediocre driver showing how respect. Fafo
jeff is goat
Earnhardt was far better
undertale reference
oh right, that martinsville race is why i still dont like clint. kinda forgot with how long its been lol
and then immediately after, half the reason of why i hate brad k. man my memory is wack lol
I mean you can watch the replay 39 gave Clint a massive shot into one, Sure he could have stopped dead and gotten piled over but he went for the gap that was there.
Without jimmy we’d be talkin about the true king jeffro is the only 7+ champion and 100+ race wins. Period. The best there is the best there was and the best there’s ever gonna be only Larson in this current field has a chance to be the same level of talent with half the accolades
If I recall correctly, I think that Burton eventually acknowledged that he wrecked Gordon on purpose.
TF? No he didn’t…
@@immortal5812 Watch his interview with Dale Jr.
no it was ray evernham's departure for sure. guy built him a fast car
BS, Ray went it alone and never found the same level of success Jeff did without Ray. Goes to show you who the real key to all that was.
@@immortal5812combination of both. Jeff struggled without Ray, having 4 cre chiefs after Ray left. Ray struggled because he became a team owner and wasn't hands on with the cars anymore. Ray admitted though that Jeff was easy to cre chief for, cause he could be almost if not more consistent than a computer sim with lap times, and hitting his marks in every corner. Same entry, same exit, same throttle input, same everything, every single lap. So that made it easy for him to adjust the car. if Jeff's saying it's loose on corner entry, but tight on corner exit, that's exactly what the car is doing without question.
@@brentruvio6556 Jeff won 3 championships with Ray, he left, won FOUR more with three different crew chiefs. Don’t make excuses for Ray, he chose to be an owner despite knowing that wasn’t his strength. Besides Atwood admitted that Ray would insert himself on the box and try to call the races himself, didn’t make a difference.
@@immortal5812 he didn't win four more though. He won one more. That's the reality
@@brentruvio6556 …yeah, I guess you believe Armando Galarraga didn’t throw a perfect game because MLB said so?
Clint was worthless as a driver and now a broadcaster.
