Yes he is a good driver, but he is great because of the team that put him there. |
Bobby was running Top 5 in Talladega all race up to near the end when he lost control. Bobby was running Top 10 all night in Charlotte until he pitted at the end and ended up finishing 12th.
Put Jeff in that car, and I'll say he may have made the Chase even if he came in 12th. Jeff as a driver is for sure worth some positions over a lot of guys.
Gordon is Talented and Hungry. Let's not forget that if the Chase was never developed, this would be his 6th Championship.
Next year will be interesting, because you know Earnhardt will get stuff equal to the 24 and 48. Hendrick knows that if he can give Junior a Championship, or several, he will be loved by the masses like Childress. We'll see what kind of driver Junior is next year.
