Crown Prince? I think not.
This probably won't go over too well with the Gordon fans, but it is my opinion.
Yes, Jeff Gordon just won the Daytona 500 for the third time, he's got four championships, many, many wins (not sure of the exact number) and he'll probably have many more. He's a good driver, I've never said he wasn't, but for this article to call him NASCAR's Crown Prince is a bit silly to me. Say you think he's a great driver or whatever, but to give him a royal-like title is a bit much.
I have no doubt that Gordon will go down in NASCAR history as one of the greatest drivers, but he's not NASCAR's Crown Prince.

Didn't we fight a war to rid ourselves of Prince's, etc.?????
I think it's clear that the rest of the world recognizes Jeff Gordon as America's premier racer. The Formula 1 world champ was certainly looking forward to competing against Jeff....because of the flu, MIchael S. got Casey Mears, as I recall.
I've always been an "anybody but Gordon" fan, but I feel it's time for a reality check on my part. Prince or not, he's clearly a great shoe!!!
