Oh, Look Who Won Another NASCAR Sprint Cup Race



There he is, JEFF GORDON, winner of the latest NASCAR Sprint Cup Race.

OK, usually at this point I'm typing in ALL-CAPS about how great he is. Or, maybe about how great his teammate JIMMY JOHNSON is. However, today I'd like to point out how great they are using lower-case letters. And, using the facts.

Jeff Gordon has pretty much won at least one race at every NASCAR track currently run. This week, he won at Texas. Texas was the only track he hasn't won a race at. WAS. Like, in the past.

Also, he has 82 victories now. This is the 6th-highest of everyone who ever raced in NASCAR. That means only 5 racers have more wins. And, he's only 37 years old. Mark Martin, one of his teammates, is in his 50's. So hopefully Jeff will eventually have more wins than anyone ever in NASCAR. GO JEFF!!!! Ooops, those pesky ALL_CAPS - CAN YOU TELL I'M EXCITED?????

Just awhile ago, I was thinking Jimmie Johnson (one of Jeff's great teammates) would become the new NASCAR God. Looks like maybe it could be JEFF GORDON?

This sport is so complicated to make predictions.
