Jeff Gordon, the four-time NASCAR champion was one of the best racers in the world at his peak, and his dominating runs in the NASCAR Cup series had limited parallels. The sanctioning body had to intervene multiple times to keep racing fair since Gordon and his Hendrick Motorsports team were a little too dominant for the sport.
One such moment of NASCAR intervening came in 1997. At that year’s All-Star race, the No:24 Hendrick Motorsports crew came with a car with a unique setup that just dominated the race like nothing before. The car was given the name T-Rex, as it used a color theme promoting The Lost World: Jurassic Park movie.
