"I don't feel I'm a step above anyone on this team. I'm just another link in the chain."
Jeff Gordon

As is the case with anything else in life, NASCAR has some really good up and coming drivers. Jeff Gordon who is only 33 has already made a real name for himself and could easily be one of the best ever. Dale Earnhardt Jr is already following in his great dad's footsteps. Other young stars like Kyle Busch, Reed Sorenson, Brian Vickers, Jon Wood, Ryan Hemphill and Blake Feese are the sport's future.
