Gordon and his fans would be a little bit happier and there would be anywhere from 1-4 other guys without a championship or as many championships.

Gordon-haters would be furious that he would have more championships than Earnhardt or Petty.

Other than that,the sport would still be the same.

It would be the lesser for everyone cause that would have meant that we didn’t have the high caliber drivers we have today, I don’t think he would wanna win just cause everybody else sucked anyway……no hard core driver would.

HA…the odds are that if he had 8 titles, then he would be the best…hed have far over 100 wins and he’d probably looked at as the "Prince" of Nascar i wouldnt doubt it.

Work as usual – the Daytona 500 is on everyone’s mind right now. Not how many championships someone may or may not have

I (and other Gordon fans) would be thrilled. Other than that, I don’t think it would make anything different.
