I truly believe that all of Jeff's Gen 5 and 6 crashes helped expose where NASCAR needed to add SAFER barriers

14:02 was the one where Jeff said on the radio afterwards “I find the worst fricken places to hit the damn wall.”

It's amazing to me that fans of a sport that still idolizes a driver who died in a crash, cheer when a car crashes.

Outside the Sonoma win in his last year of racing (when he was pretty much starting to turn into a shadow of his old self on the track), Tony Stewart was 42 when he won his second to last race of his career at Dover. A driver going like Bobby Allison, Mark Martin, or Dale Earnhardt still being remotely competitive even in their late 40's-early 50's is a rarity, not the norm. Maybe Jeff Gordon could have, with the right set up, found something else to be competitive still, while finding ways to treat his back, while still racing in his late 40's or early 50's. But odds are, with the way his back was, he probably knew that downward trend was going to find him, and he'd end up just doing laps if he kept on at it in his late 40's or early 50's.

From about 2006 onward whenever Jeff got into a hard crash Darrell, Larry, and Mike would occasionally bring up his back problems. Hard hits and always finding the unprotected wall will do that. One that stands out to me is when Jeff pancaked the outside wall on the backstretch at Dover while qualifying and the fans cheered and the announcers were disgusted. Mike Joy said something like "if you have back problems, you're gonna know it here."

Granted this guy had won all those championships by then but to my surprise he said something over the radio and did not pack it up and go home like most would of in his shoes. He told his team "we are gonna fix this issue at Texas about not being competitive from here on out here RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW." Went back out on the track and obviously tried different set-ups a dozen or so times and he finished 43rd (only happened twice him finishing dead last). He won the next race in Texas!
