as much as ppl will fight with you about this gordon is a damn good driver and to be honest with you tony stewart is one of the best drivers nascar has too. gordon is re-writing the record books for sure....earnhardt sr. had alot of fans becuase of his agressive "i dont give a shit" attitude. he was a bad ass and ppl like that. there is no doubt he was a good race car driver but i think he was more intimidating than anything...hence the name intimidator...ppl got out of his way because they knew he would wreck them. ppl get out of gordons way because he is obviously faster. either way they are all great drivers and do more than i could do in any of these cars. i can see this thread going to hell pretty soon about who is the best driver in nascar today.
