I think the competition he ran against was more than capable. Vogler,Hewitt,Fox,Knepper,Eric Gordon etc...weren't too bad.

Like him; Don't like him, Jeff Gordon is hands down one of the best. I don't believe you will find one guy who raced against him who doesn't agree with that.

His numbers aren't huge because he didn't stay around long enough, but he has won in every USAC division on both surfaces. He lapped up to Second at the Belleville Midget Nationals and was trailing Second place Knepper to the line.

Because he doesn't come around and he doesn't own teams, people don't hold Jeff in as high regard as Stewart and they choose to forget his accomplishments and I get that, but I firmly believe that there is no one in USAC or the local scene right now at his level of talent. Dave and Jon are special and Tracy Hines is the most well rounded driver as far as dirt/pavement wins and different divisions. Bryan Clausen had some of the excitement as seeing Gordon because of his age and ability and Cole Whitt is getting there, but there is no one who reaches Gordons level. That's still a good list though.
