Gordon #24
No secret I like #24, but here is the thing
he has won 2 in a row, and is 5th in points 1 -- Matt Kenseth 4678 Leader 2 +1 Dale Earnhardt Jr. 4420 -258 3 -1 Kevin Harvick 4416 -262 4 +1 Jimmie Johnson 4412 -266 5 +1 Jeff Gordon 4382 -296 they are all separated by 40 points!!!! and it is possible for Gordon to win in the remaining 3 races! could he pull out a championship out of this mess? I think the Roush boys have done a spectacular job with Matt this year, but gordon is really cookin now a 5th? then maybe 8 titles soon? oh man |

Love to see the old boy do it. The man's a legend.
My heart says yes, my head tells me it's a tall order. Hope I'm wrong. Go Chevy, Du Pont dude! |

& YOUR COUNTING UP TO 8??? Seems like 5,6 & 7 have to happen first. As much as I don't want a Rouschmobile to win the title- it's better than Jeffie. |

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. |

well reality sets in - unless he crashes out the next few races he should take it home in style, and Martin will signal it over to Matt.
the annoucer booth will bbe shouting though A ROUSH victory, a Martin 1st time Owner win- the Matt Kenseth 2003 champion |

No he won't finish in second position if NASCAR can help it. What a phony penaltie to 24 at the rock today.

well #24 Gordon has to fight in 2004, Well done to Matt kenseth for taking the championship in sheer tenacity, if not wins, 1 is better than most but Newman really took the crown 11 poles so far and 9 wins is it?

Matt kenseth (the silent champion) really did a sneaky number this year.
Always being near the front, but winning once, and never bumping or rubbing, or wrecking- which saved him, he was a clean driver, but didn't drive like a madman possessed for the champion ship- he rode into it quietly, while Newman took alot of press. Gordon has a lot of work to do next year fighting off the likes of the Roush Racers, the Penske guys, and his own team. I think he might do better, as consistency and wins became his style near season end- he very well should keep it up. he'd better. |
