Do you think that Jeff Gordon will NOT win a race this year?

May be...

  • I am going to say he will win one this season. I just know it. I bet it will be the last one, Homestead. That would be nice because then he would realize that all the figuring out he did all year with the COT paid off.
  • They could definitely use a break or 2. Earlier in the year he was running up front and contending but that big wreck at Vegas? hurt him and he had some bad luck in a couple of other races. I would not bet against the 24 team winning a race or even 2 yet this year but they will have to find a little something extra they haven't been showing us lately. With a bunch of great tracks for Jeff coming up (Atlanta, Texas, Martinsville, Phoenix and especially Talladega) he will have some good chances to get into victory lane.
    3 STR8 N 08!!!
  • Okay, as head of Jeff Gordon fans.. and Gordon's #1 fan...
    I've got a say in this...
    People, people...if you truly knew Jeff Gordon
    You'd know Martinsville and Dega are coming...
    And then if you knew more..
    You'd know he's got the most and actively most wins at both of those tracks..
    And if you knew more, as a true fan like me knew, you would know that he's got 7 wins [7 people!!!] at M'ville and 6 [6 people!!!] at Dega...
    And if you knew Gordon even more, you'd know that he almost caught Hamlin in the Spring race had there been 2 more laps....
    And if you knew EVEN more, you'd know he's had a top 5 [Actually, Top-3] car in all of the last 3 races...
    That is awesome....

    And it all twists and turns to the final though...
    Dammit, yes, Jeff Gordon will win a race before and after Homestead!!!!
    Bottom!! Line!!!
  • I think Jeff Gordon will win a race before Tony Stewart.
  • lol, i immideatley thought of bill oreilly when i read the "what say you, nascar nation?" i think he will win one this year, nothing more nothing less. even though im not a fan i still dont wanna see him go winless.
  • I think he can get one before the year is out.
  • Reallistically with the way the team has run this year I say he will not win a race this year. However, with Jeff Gordon behind the wheel he is capable of winning on any given weekend but for some reason he has just missed the setups on a variety of race tracks this year.

    The only two tracks where he will be considered to win are Talladega and Martinsville. He has won at Talladega 6 times and at Martinsville 7 times which is more than any other active driver at both of those tracks. Plus earlier this year he had a chance to win Talladega and jumped out of line with two laps to go while running 2nd and was shuffled out of the draft. Had the Martinsville race been about 5 laps longer he would have won that race because he was the fastest car on the track the last 10 laps and had the fastest car throughout the race but ended up 2nd. Hopefully he can win a race because I would like to see him continue that streak
  • I think so and kinda hope so. It will show he isn't invincible.

    Go Joey & Denny
  • yes i think he will just because he has had a not so great season doesnt mean he wont be able to pull out one win i mean look at last year he had 6 or 7 winnss go 24
  • i shook my magic 8 ball and it says no he wont win lmao
  • Lynn Im going to have to say no on this one. The #24 qualifies well but falls off after the race starts kinda like his teammate has done this year. They just haven't put it all together this year. Im not hating(I don't do that) but to me anyway that's the way I see it.
  • I hope so and he has 8 races left to do it in. he came close a few times...I still see him pulling at least one off. It does seem odd that he has NO wins. And it isn't that his mind is "elsewhere" either...he's had poor setups and even poorer luck. I'd like to see a win.

    So I think that he WILL.
  • Well he has 8 more times. But I seriously dont think it looks good for him this year.
  • I'm still keeping my hopes up...
  • I doubt it
  • Dam straight he won't win this year. And thank god maybe this will put doubts in his head and he will retire.
  • Wow!!! That's a pretty impressive statistic there..
    I like Jeff all right, not my favorite, far from my least. Every driver needs to go through a dry spell, right? Maybe it's his turn.
    Don't hate me Gordon fans, he's a decade over-due!!
  • I wouldn't totally rule him out but the forecast is looking gloomy.
  • I would be soooooooooooo sad if he did not win this year!!!!
    He has won every year since he started!!! He is my favorite nascar driver ever!!!!! I love him!!!! He will come back and win the chase this year just wait!!!
  • I got my Magic 88 Ball at K-Mart and it said, "Within 4 races Jeff Gordon will get the checkered flag. This message has been brought to you by Hendrick Motor Sports." Ball also noted that Talledega may be in danger of a copyright infringement as a "Junior Achievement," but that is just good business.
  • great question Lynn, It's not looking very good right now for him but I keep thinking that things will turn around for him and that he'll get at least on win before the season is over, it's just a little weird not to see him in victory lane!
  • Since 1994, he has won at least 2 races per year.

    I can't believe that he will go winless. What say you, NASCAR Nation?
  • Good question. The 24 team has sure struggled. I'd say yes he should win one of the final eight. If I was a betting man I would bet he wins at least one.
    By the way, I've never been a fan of him. I'm a realist.
  • Well it is tough to say. My best friend is a JG fan and he is worried too. He thinks that the chase and the fact he is now a daddy has taken the hunger away from jeff. But he is hopeful and so am I not just for my friend but for the team.
  • No. I truly believe he'll win a race before the end of the season. I hate to say it but Talladega is on the horizon. Traditionally an Earndardt stronghold, but Jeff has made his notch at the behemoth.
  • Well it's not looking to good so far.
  • The way that team is racing as of right now, I would have to say he will go winless in 2008( sorry 24 fans ). But i wish the 24 and 20 would each get a win this year. I've never been a gordon fan but i'd pull for him anyday before the 48 or 88. So good luck jeff and tony, i hope one of ya'll wins the cup.
  • well hes got 8 more tries
  • I think it's going to be hard for him to, but he has a couple really good tracks for him coming up. Martinsville and Degaare both places he has a shot at, as well as Charlotte. But, again, it's going to be hard for him to get it done this year.
  • I hope so.
  • Interesting question...right now it doesn't look like he will but a lot of things have sure changed the Chase around a whole lot. He still has a chance. Honestly, I hope he does. I like him, it's just he's not one of my favorite drivers. He has had an awesome career. JMO
