Not too take anything away from Gordon as he has a great track record to date, and I am not a hater but rather neutral. Do you feel his success has come from falling into the hands of a well established team that was suited for him when he entered the sport? Do you feel you would have had the same success say with the Wood Bros or a team that doesn't or hasn't had all the money to spend on the best equipment, pit crew, crew chief, wind tunnel, testing, etc?

I should follow up and say that I have seen #8 in person at Daytona continually tear up his car and run from the back to front with one half of his car missing and the other half duct taped, and it amazed me how he could blow by cars with no damage like they had 1 cylinder missing. I just think alot of these drivers sucess comes from the whole orginization and not necessarily the driver. Just look at Jimmy Johnson is he really that much of a better driver than Jeff Gordon? Seems Gordon has struggled since the 48 team came on the scene, same can be said for a lot of other teams as well
