Jeff Gordon cruises to an easy victory in the 1998 Save Mart / Kragen 350 at Sears Point (Infineon) Raceway with Bobby Hamilton turning in a suprising runner-up spot. Hamilton's second-place finish in Morgan-McClure's 4 car brought back memories of Ernie Irvan's Sonoma win with the team six years before.

Bob Jenkins, Ned Jarrett, and Benny Parsons have the call for ESPN.

  • did they change sonoma over the years? It looks like it.

  • They have, Rhino96; good catch. :) In this race, the first year they had The Chute, Turn 7 was a wide, sweeping corner that abruptly funneled down into the very narrow Esses. However, there wasn't much passing there, so Turn 7 is now the "Budweiser Bottleneck," a much sharper and narrower turn that switches back and forth before the field enters the Esses. Tony Stewart made his winning pass in that corner on Robby Gordon in 2001.

  • this is back when NA$CAR was still NASCAR. Hard to believe Jeff just turned 40, but man I remember watching Jeff at this time when he was so hated, he was what got me into NASCAR. Been watching a few old NASCAR vids from this time and its nice to see the stands full still as well as classic NASCAR sponsors that mainly have to do with car products.

  • @dragknee650 Agreed, he should be a 6 time champion right now. Fuck the chase and Gimmie Johnson.

  • earnhardt may have a better career, but from 1995-1999 gordon was better than anybody in history, plain and simple.

  • hey jeff you are the man

  • I still love how these cars look compared the the Trash of Tomorrow.

  • Jeff Gordon won like 8 road courses in a row, or something like that. He won the big race at Bristol 5 times in a row... Won the Southern 500 at Darlington 4 years in a row... He is amazing!!!

  • @XxRhino96xX Also, there were 2 different pit lanes. they got rid of the other pit lane (to the right, after the final turn) in 2002 or 2003. I dont recall.

  • @dragknee650 amen to that

  • Gordon was one of the first to dedicate testing sessions just to road courses. Man, he was dominant at Sears Point and the Glen too.

  • fikin awesome jeff gordon is by far the best road coarse and all around driver!!!!!!
