Wasn't the Chase supposed to make things exciting?

Yawn.

Tony would have still won the championship in 2005.
he prob would have had the 09 championship too but its impossible to play the what if no chase game because people would have drove differently

What's to be confused about. Pretty clear cut.

A driver cant be the best just because he's your favorite driver.

Gordon totally domininated his competition back in his day....that's including Earnhardt.


Heres a head to head matchup

Gordon Vs Earnhardt 1993-2000

Top 5s
Gordon-129
Earnhardt-101

Top 10s
Gordon-166
Earnhardt-160

Poles (pretty useless stat)
Gordon-33
Earbhardt-9

Laps led:
Gordon-10,708
Earnhard-5,751

And the champs
Gordon-4
Earnhardt-2
It's kind of hard to put the end of a guys 20+ year career against another dude's prime even if that is the only time the go head to head. That's like comparing the last 6 years of Johnson's career against Gordon's. Of course Johnson is going to be better, because Jeff is worn down from so much wear and tear and just life in general.
Theres an excuse for everything.

Going by that logic, no one cant be better then the last because he had 20 or some years on that particular someone?

Regardless of Earnhart been in cup for however many years, Gordon was the better driver in the mid 90s. Wouldn't you agree?

That's what I'm saying.

I'm not saying Gordon was the better driver from Earnhardt's early days. You cant compare his entire career. I'm just comparing what can be compare.

One can also compare the first 8 years of each driver in which case it would look like this...

1979 (Earnhardt's full season) thru 1986

Wins

Earnhardt-20
Gordon-52

Top 5s
Earnhardt-93
Gordon-129

Top 10s
Earnhardt-145
Gordon-166

Champs would still be 2 to 4.
How bout compare primes when all their championships happened?

Dale Earnhardt 1986-1994
Jeff Gordon 1995-2004

Races Ran:
3: 295
24: 339

Wins:
3: 53 - 18%
24: 67 - 20%

Top 5s
3: 158 - 53.5 %
24: 177 - 52%

Top 10s
3: 213 - 72%
24: 230 - 68%

Laps Ran/Laps Lead
3: 93283/18112 - 19%
24: 98130/16217 - 16.5%

Championships:
3: 6
24: 4


Conclusion? Both are 2 of the 4 greatest of all time.

I didn't tell Johnson to eat dick, so no. Calling someone a name and telling them to eat dick are two entirely different things.
