When Jimmie Johnson started to drive for Hendrick Motorsports in 2002, Jeff Gordon began to struggle. He might have had Robbie Lommis his crew chief that he won his last championship but he began to fall apart. In 2008 when Johnson won his third straight championship, Gordon went winless for the first time since his rookie year. Last year, he came so close many times but never made it to victory lane. This Gordon has all ready shown that he can still compete and he's now tied with Cale Yarbourgh with 83 wins.
