How can jeff gordon get in the chase

Since the format change in , many have gone back and figured up the points and noted that Gordon would have won additional titles. We can all sit here and speculate and talk about it and wonder what could have been if the old points system would have stayed the same. The reason why I was able to win at so many different tracks was because of the consistency my team had and I had at all the different tracks.

Hamlin was the lone driver of the bottom four entering Dover to race his way into the top The points will reset for the Kansas, Charlotte and Talladega bracket. Jones, 18, of Byron, Mich. I don't think you can go back and look at accumulating points in the old system in the new system.

So I don't know if we can all sit here and speculate and talk about things and wonder what could have been if the old point system would have stayed the same.

That hasn't stopped Gordon's fans from speculating. Gordon himself has been frustrated in what has been an elusive "drive for five" campaign. The rallying cry eventually dropped from the Gordon vocabulary.

Now it's the drive to the finish line of his racing career. I didn't want to see it come down to that final 10, because some of those final 10 were not all tracks that suited me. It actually suited others pretty well and so I felt like it was not benefiting me. Gordon's team this year has either peaked at the right time or is at least doing enough to advance in this elimination-style Chase.

Last year, Gordon won four times and failed to advance to the championship round after a pit-road penalty at Martinsville, and a final-laps incident with Brad Keselowski at Texas kept him from other victories.

He then sat on the pole and led more than half the laps at Homestead. I will continue to support it, always have, even when it hasn't suited me. At the end of the day, what is best for the sport is best for me, best for the team, best for all teams. Skip to main content Skip to navigation.
