Thats what I have been trying to say,today 10 to 15 drivers are capable of winning on any given Sunday.

I am saying that Dale did alot with alittle for many years! If Jeff had to start out the way Dale did, would he have half as many wins? Very seriously doubt it!

In all honesty, I doubt it, he might get red hot and give him a run one of theses days, but I dont see it happening! Neither is even close to the driver that SR was!

Be careful of what you say, on Feb. 18, 2001 as the Daytona 500 was getting underway, I guaranteed that SR would win the Championship! I hope that NASCAR never has to go through this again, but it is a very dangerous sport!

If 3 was still alive and Gordon won 8 he would be considered better.

 

However, since he died that just kinda places something in everyone that wants to keep him on top.

 

Gordon didnt have it as ruff in the beginning like Dale, but a race is a race.

He wins without racing dirty like Dale.

Rubbing is racing! Everyone does, only the emperior of NASCAR was not afraid to go for the win, he had his eye on the prize and he honestly drove like 2nd place was the first loser! Dale in no way was a dirty driver, if he had the better car he won the race and yes if you got in his way he would rattle your cage alittle to get around you, but If you knew you could win with a faster car and someone was blocking you, would you let them know that you were back there and you had all intentions of coming around? Dale had a legendary driving style and he never had fear when he was on the track, that is what made him the driver he was! Today, you let a driver hit the wall at 180mph and flip several times, he is not getting back in that car on that day and he will be gun shy for a few weeks, not Dale after his flip at Daytona he got back in the car kept on driving and the next week, he was running 3 and 4 wide in Fontana! After breaking a collar bone in Atlanta, he was back in the car the following week racing until he couldnt stand the pain no more then he gave way to sub driver!

 

As for if 3 was still alive and Gordon had 8, he would be better? Doubt it, because Dale had really started to return to his old form the year and a half before he died, finishing 2nd in the points in 2000! So who is to say Dale wouldnt have 8 or even 9 now?
