2-15- Daytona 500-Great run! Avoided the big crash! Started 6th, finished 5th!

2-22- Subway 400-Bad day! 1st DNF for Jimmie in 2004. Caught up in an accident. Finished 41st.

3-7- UAW/DaimlerCrysler 400-Another bad day! Better than last week though. Finished 16th after a mishap in the pits.

3-14- Golden Corral 500-Jimmie redeems himself this week! Finished 4th!

3-21- Carolina Dodge Dealers 400-Jimmie was finally there! Win number one for 2004! A late caution and good pit stop won this race!

3-28- Food City 500-Had a shot at winning this race, but a loose lug nut made Jimmie have to go back in the pits to tighten it up and takes Jimmie out of contention. Finished 16th.

4-4- Samsung/Radio Shack 500-Finished 9th after a mediocore performance. Patient and consistent!

4-18- Advance Auto Parts 500-Another contender for the win! Finished 4th! Jimmie will win another one soon!

4-25- Aaron's 499-Mr. Consistent! Finished 4th!

5-2- Auto Club 500-Finished 2nd! Right behind his mentor, Jeff Gordon! A 1-2 finish for Hendrick Motor Sports.

5-15- Chevy American Revolution 400-Finished 2nd again! Jimmie is going to win another race soon! Looks like he wants that championship!

5-22- Nextel All-Star Challenge*-Finished 17th. Never had a chance! Taken out in the big crash caused by Kurt Busch.

5-30- Coca Cola 600-WOW! What a performance! Dominates the field and leads 334 laps of 400! Nobody could touch Jimmie! Wins from the pole!

6-6- MBNA America 400-Bad luck this week. Caught up in big accident near the end of the race. Nothing Jimmie could do about it. 2nd DNF of the season. Finished 32nd.

6-13- Pocono 500-Another WIN! Another dominating performance! I am suprised that Nascar hasn't found something out of the ordinary with Jimmie's car! You know how well they follow the rules! They just make them up as they go along!

6-20- DHL 400-Good day! Finished 4th! Takes point lead! No Nascar mistakes this week!

6-27- Dodge/SaveMart 350K-Wow! Never thought Jimmie would come from 34th to 5th! UNBELIEVABLE! Never say die! If he keeps this up, he'll be tough to beat for the championship!

7-3- Pepsi 400-UNREAL! Finished 2nd! Pushing his car owner Jeff Gordon to a win! Looks like Jeff taught Jimmie real good!

7-11- Tropicana 400-Finished 2nd again! Just didn't have enough to win! There's no stopping Jimmie! It's to bad that Nascar changed the point system. Jimmie would surely win the championship. Will he be able to hang on in the last 10 races?

7-25- Siemens 300-I guess you could call this a bad day for Jimmie. He finished 11th! Still maintains the point lead!

8-1- Pennsylvania 500-WIN #4! Sweeps both Pocono races in 2004! Dominating performance.

8-8- Brickyard 400-BAD DAY! Jimmie's 3rd DNF! Spins early in the race and recovers! Loses engine on lap 88! Still maintains the point lead by 97 points over his boss, Jeff Gordon!

8-15- Sirius @ the Glen-Wow! 2 DNF's in a row! Finished 40th. First transmission problems, then engine. Only ran 23 laps! Best part of the day was that Tony Stewart crapped his pants during the race!

8-22- GFS Marketplace 400-3 DNF's in a row! Can't believe this! Maybe Jimmie is trying to have all his bad luck before the last 10 races! Finished 40th! Engine failure, very rare for Hendrick Motor Sports.

8-28 -Sharpie 500-Back to normal! Qualified 11th, started at the back of the pack because of a crash in practice and had to use back up car, and finished 3rd!

9-5- Pop Secret 500-Not the best day. Finished 14th. Regained the point lead.

9-11- Chevy Rock & Roll 400-Bad day. Caught up in a big accident. Finished 36th. Better now than later. Can't afford a day like that for the rest of the season.

9-19- Sylvania 300-Not so good. Finished 11th. Moves to 5th in the point standings. Needs top 5 finishes.

9-26- MBNA 400-Where's Mr. Consistancy? Finished 10th. Moves to 4th in point standings. Just couldn't seem to get a handle on the car today.

10-3- EA Sports 500-Another bad day. Finished 37th! A rare engine failure. This is not the time for a DNF. It will be tough for Jimmie to win the championship now. Moves to 9th in point standings.

10-10- Banquet 400-Jimmie just can't seem to do what he needs when the chips are on the table! Finished 32nd! Lost it and hit the wall! Another DNF! This all but took Jimmie out of the "Chase for the Championship".

10-16- UAW-GM Quality 500-Looks like Jimmie finally got it back! Finishes 1st! To little to late though. Jimmie would need some pretty bad luck to be fall the guys in front of him in the points, in order to win the championship now.

10-24- Subway 500-Another WIN! Moves into 4th in the point standings, but will never gain enough to win the championship. Jimmie is 207 back from the point lead with 4 races remaining. It is not impossible, but highly unlikely.

10-31- MBNA Bass Pro 500-UNBELIEVABLE! 3rd win in a row! Jimmie is now 2nd in point standings and only 59 points out of 1st! Whens the last time that a driver with 7 DNF's won a championship? NEVER! Looks like it is about to happen! Hard to believe the top 3 in points before this race all had real bad days, finishing 33, 34, and 42. Jimmie was able to make up a lot of points! 3 races to go, what will happen?

11-7- Checker 500-A decent day finishes 6th, but fades to 4th in the points. It's not over until it's over! Jimmie is only 48 pts. out of 1st in the point standings! Only 2 races left. Can Jimmie pull it off?

11-14- Southern 500-Impossible!! Jimmie wins again! Moves to 2nd in point standings! Only 18 points out of 1st! This has to be some kind of record. To make up so many points in such a short period of time! Can Jimmie pull it off at Homestead next week?

11-21- Ford 400-Finished 2nd in race and 2nd in the point standings. Only lost by 8 points. Closest in race history.
