Today on Past Gas… Jeff Gordon! How did a kid who grew up 20 miles from San Francisco take over a rugged sport which sprung from the illicit moonshine running business in the south? What made Gordon so good at such a young age? How would Jeff navigate the fever of fame? Did his popularity in the media ultimately overshadow his abilities as a race car driver?

To lump a large contingent of NASCAR drivers into one episode you guys might consider doing a pod on Racing families; Allison’s, Labontes, etc etc Keep up the great work crew!

I remember Fans Against Gordon. I remember that he was really disliked by NASCAR fans because he knew big words of more than two syllables. Please do a Past Gas for Jim Clark!

Not worth a whole lot, but I’d like to see these podcasts head back in the direction of the original few. It almost seems like you can hear Nolan’s frustration with every sentence bringing a random unrelated spin-off comedic comment. I used to share this with friends and family for the way it easily broke down events and timelines but anymore it’s almost like satire history. You all do a good job telling the story ultimately, I just think the tangents take more than they give.

Williams F1 team tested Gordon when he and Montoya swapped cars. Williams and F1 were impressed, but the route Gordon would've had to take to get a Super License to race in F1 would have required him to start his career over again by switching to Indy for a season or two, and then compete in junior FIA events. He had already won the NASCAR Championship a few times by then, so it wasn't feasible for him to go that route. Love you guys, even though you probably don't smell good because you're huge celebrities.

My best friend in high school was a girl who's dad set up all the concerts in town so she got backstage passes to meet tons of big Canadian acts and she said Avril was the rudest, most stereotypical celebrity type she ever met through that.

You guys used to have a proper studio. And then because of the pandemic, you guys had to do face cams which is understandable. And then you guys don't even have videos anymore. And now even the thumbnails are the same each week. While other podcasters had their equipment upgrades, from audio to video to a studio, you guys did the complete opposite. I really miss those good old days. Hope you guys are improving your content

@nathanjoseph4284 2 жыл бұрын

Same! I really wish they would at least bring back the face cams, it feels so weird looking at three dorky floating heads and having them burned into my screen. The older format was better because at least we could still see their facial expressions and it was almost like hanging out in your garage with your buddies just taking about cars. Shame they don't listen to their fans! Just too shy for face cams I guess?

Bring back the face cams please!!! Much better than looking at three goofy floating faces, and having them burned into your screen. The face cams made the video feel like you were hanging out in your garage with your buddies. Not the same with three goofy floating heads being burned into your screen. I'll say it once more: BRING BACK FACE CAMS! No wonder why the viewership is going down.

@Donut Podcasts Since we're getting raped at the pump, how about making a useful video, listing the best CHEAP and reliable cars that get the best MPG. Something from maybe late 90s to late 00s

Just get an Accord, it's that simple, cheap, good MPG, reliable and you can whip it around.
