I do think that Jeff Gordon will have 8+ Championships before His career is done,barring any unforseen tragedy,but not this year because of the following:
Jeff has to make +296 points to take the Title,this would require(for example) that Jeff Gordon has 3 perfect race(185 points x 3 races)& receive +555 points,while Matt Kenseth would have to average no better than a 26th place finish(85 points x 3 races) & receive no bonus points(255 total points) over the same 3 race span,mathematically possible,but not very realistic.I do think that Jeff Gordon has an excellent chance for His 2nd season finishing in the 2nd position in the point standings,I'm so impressed with the #24's 6 straight Top 5 finishes,now that's consistancy,hope it continues into 2004,if it does,Jeff & that team will be very hard to beat.
