``He's a great race car driver. I knew years ago he would eventually pass my old man. I think he has the opportunity to pass a couple more.''

That's why they call Gordon "champion." The old man knew that and took 'the kid' into his type of tutelage. In a way, Gordon's victory might have been a better salute to the Old Man than Jr's.

I say that from the perspective of a Jr fan. I'm not a Gordon fan, but boy howdy Gordon is a driver.

His crew deserves a lot of credit too.

I remember when they gave him tars with 52 to go, and I thought...that’s probably going to turn out to be a very good decision...and it was...he just went by all those guys with no gas or tars left.
