  • he would have won this year under the old points system

  • Talking about this year (2009) for Gordon, I think Gordon would've been 3rd behind Johnson and Stewart.

  • No, he would've lost to Jimmie Johnson by exactly 16 points under the system from '75-'03.

  • I think it maybe be much more, than 16, I have referred back to a points standings of the old format and after Phoenix Gordon was 56 back and he finished behind Johnson so at least 61 points out and Stewart was behind by 13 so I think Gordon would have 2nd but much further out than 16 points.,

  • No, my mistake though- it was actually just 6 points. *Points before Richmond: Gordon 3457, Johnson 3404. *Points earned at Richmond: Gordon 170 (3627 total), Johnson 130 (3504 total). *Points earned in final 10 races: Gordon 1463 (total 5090), Johnson 1622 (total 5156). *Subtract additional 10 points per win: Gordon (1 x 10) = 10, Johnson (7 x 10) = 70, for a total of 5080 points for Gordon to Johnson's 5086. On a side note, Tony Stewart would've finished 3rd and lost by 41 points.

  • Okay I think that makes sense now. Gordon would be 60 something probably 66 and the wins wasn't taken into account so only 6 points. If that was the case, Gordon would've tried everything to get past Johnson in the final laps.

  • listen to the boo's

    ahh i love it! :D

    jeff gordon is the greatest!

  • @BMB5150 Nope. Gordon would have been second. Jimmie Johnson won the championship either way.

  • but neither gordon nor johnson were first going to richmond

  • I'm impressed Nascar sat out a 40 min rain delay for 5 laps!!!!

  • meyfield was a beast back then

  • @timmybaby24 You are so right...gordon dominated and won his championships hands down. Johnson has won 4 in a row by getting a second chance. FUCK THE CHASE!

  • other than dale earnhardt sr...jeff gordon is the best driver in the modern era
