While Jeff Gordon‘s win at Texas Motor Speedway was a big deal to most of us, it wasn’t as significant as we’ve all made it out to be. Sure, he broke a 47-race winless streak and snagged a win on one of the two remaining tracks he hadn’t conquered, but the whole incident was terribly overplayed and revealed just how much of a slave Gordon is to his own success.
While Gordon had never before visited Victory Lane at Texas, how quickly we forget the man led a bunch of laps and landed many top-five finishes at the 1.5-mile venue before.
