But as he keeps winning, and it sure looks like he is going to keep winning, there are going to be two camps - the ones who want to seem him win everything and the ones who don't want to see him win anything. That's when the interest will really pick up, and that's when interest has really picked up in stock car racing over the years. When you have one guy who is pretty dominant, the fans start dividing up. And when everybody has an opinion, everybody is really interested in how things turn out. Tiger Woods is there now but, before him, they had Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer and Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson and on back.
Somebody always is there to generate the interest and keep it going.
Even if your favorite driver is John Andretti or somebody like him, you still keep a close eye on what's happening with the 'Tiger Woods' of our day. There will be another one in racing. It might be Gordon again, or it might be somebody else. But there will be somebody jump up and win a ton of races and, if they do it for a period of several years, the fans will start dividing up on who loves him and who hates him. And the interest will just build and build.
