i agree. besides why would u not wanna go to Hendrick? Gordon , Johnson and next year mark martin also joins the team lol they are stacked and they got the best people working on the engines. Im a Gordon fan but Either Hendrick member wins i will be happy.

I was there! in 2001 i saw him win I cryed it was so emotianal

no he could do that because he understands the basics of drafting and you know who the only other person that could do that was... his fatherJr. learned from the best and it was that teaching that allowed him to win that race, nothing else

robie343434 (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)

his car clearly had more horse power or more down force than any one elses,if you would have watched this race,you would remember he could do things all night long that no one else could come close to....like going high going low passing with much ease was not a problem for him all night,,,,they wanted nascar and nascar fans to try to recover,from the pain that had happened earlier that year!!!!!

there is no way to let someone win there are to many possible things that can happen like blown tire middle of wreck engine only thing that caused this win was inside jr head his father yelling at him to push it

I also have to disagree with robie343434, the #15 and the #8 finished 1st and 2nd in the 500, and NASCAR didn't do anything to make them win that race. Its just 2 good cars, 2 good drivers and at the time a good team and alot of determination, a good win!
