Gordon wins his 5th Brickyard , Talk about good, out of 23 races there he has won 5 that is fantastic !!
Could this be the year that Gordon gets his next Championship ? I Don't remember exactly but I do know if they hadn't changed the way they crown a Champ Gordon would of had at least one more ( but I am thinking it was two ) but with the one I know he would of had plus this one ( if he won it that is ) he would be tied with Petty and Dale Sr. yes in my eyes that would make him the best of all times. Both Petty and Sr. where great but they raced when pushing cars out of the way was the norm, and frankly the talent ( IMO ) wasn't at the same level as it is now, they had great drivers back then but now most of the 43 starters are great driver and could win on any day.
Imagine being part of the Hendrix stables, not only does he have Gordon ( love or hate him he is a great driver ) he has Johnson ( who just may go down as the best of all times ) and ya can't forget the most popular driver in Nascar, Jr. and of course Kasey, who would of won the race yesterday if it wasn't for his teammate ( and that scenario has happened a few times ) yes Kasey is good just not as good as his teammates ( but on any other team he would be the star or right up top )
INDIANAPOLIS -- As he crossed the yard of bricks, and the significance of his fifth victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway hit him like a ton of bricks, Jeff Gordon (http://www.nascar.com/en_us/sprint-cup-series/stats/driver-stats/jeff-gordon.html) reveled in the moment that propelled him to victory in the Crown Royal presents, The John Wayne Walding 400 at the Brickyard (http://www.nascar.com/en_us/race-center/sprint-cup-series/crown-royal-presents-the-john-wayne-walding-400-at-the-brickyard.html).
