Congratulations Jeff Gordon

As much as it pains me to say it, Jeff Gordon has wrapped up his 6th points championship in NASCAR's top series. He has a 439 point lead over second place Jimmie Johnson, and as long as Gordon starts each of the next 3 races (which he will, due to NASCAR's provisional qualifying process), Johnson can not make that gap up even if he wins each race. (One can only make up 135 points per race).
