Re: Jeff Gordon
[ QUOTE ]
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. [/ 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.

Re: Jeff Gordon
If I could have any driver for a full season to drive , deal with sponsers and present a positive image it would be Jeff Gordon.
If I had my choice of any driver to run just 10 races in sprints, nascar,iroc type, indy/champ car or imca I would choose Tony Stewart. He can drive and win in anything. But if he doesn't slim down he's not going to fit in a car, even the COT.
