I never cared much for his style either, or his attitude. However, he can drive the wheels off a car.

And with that said,congrats to the 24 car on win number 76 and beating Stewart in the process. (ok Gordon haters, shoot away at me.):D

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I'm no Gordon lover (I'll leave that to JJ), but I was very entertained by the final laps and his lead swap with Tony. More interesting is that Stewart declined interviews after the race(!?). Matt did a fine job, but he's been the torch bearer for Ford the whole season, and this is not a good sign for the Ford contengient for the rest of the season. I'm about tired of the Chevy Show every weekend...

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Of course, I would rather see the Chevy's win rather then the Toyotas. I used to hate Jeff Gordon myself but he seems to be a completely different person then years ago. I don't root for him but I don't hate him either. Stewart actually had a pretty decent attitude right after his anger managment. I think it was 2 years ago. He was actually a nice guy but now he is the same old Strewart that he was before. A:butt: head.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Ford needs step up or like Nascar fans they will be gone from Nascar.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Congratulations to Jeff Gordon. It was really cool to watch him that hungry for the win, and drive the wheels off that thing. He's been knocking on the door all season.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Last Past Champions used by Jarrett.... bye bye Benedict Arnold.

The saddest thing is, realize there is no 21 Woods Brothers Ford in the show!!!!!!!! Since Shrader had to do it on time.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Gordon takes another pole. Oh well, could be worse...I think. Congrats to the strong showing by the Yates guys. And real congrats to the NASCAR guys for nailing Stewart to the wall for his bailout on the after race interviews (OK, it was really for railing on NASCAR on a Tuesday night radio talk show, but we can't really say that).
:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Worse part, is that NASCAR can't do anything to him about it cause there isn't any rules saying he is not allowed to express his feelings about NASCAR. I do agree with Stewart on some of the stuff he was complaing about. They have been throwing quite a bit of "debris" cautions but a lot of times, no one can ever see the debris. There was one race where Jimmy Johnson should have won, they threw the caution right towards the end of the race and he got screwed. The never did say what the debris was and where it was. From what I see, Stewart isn't the only one complaing about either. Everyone else is just too scared to say anything to NASCAR. Too bad I'll miss the first half of the Talladega race this weekend. I'll be at a car show.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Congratulations to my fave Bobby Labonte for winning the Busch race at Talladega today! I haven't been able to scream Go Bobby at the TV for a long time! That made my Saturday!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Wow, that would be something to see him do a sweep. It's been a day or two since the 43 took a checkered flag. :worship:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Bummed about Schrader not making the race and being slower than the Toyotas makes it even worse. I'll be DVRing the race tomorrow so I can fast forward through the 10,000 commercials! :D

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Do you have the EXPRESSed permission of NASCAR. :27: :23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

What would be a perfect world for me in Nascar would have been Tony Stewart being part of the Toyota team. Then I wouldn't have to worry about the punk whining every week as to why he didn't win a race. What an idiot. :concerned

Another event that was upsetting was to watch a few idiots last week pelt Gordons car with beer and objects when he gave a tribute to a great racer in Dale Sr. last week. Even Jr. knew it was a class tribute. These few idiots tarnish the image of some of Nascars greatest and passionate fans: Earnhardt fans. I've gone to several races and love the true fan of the #3 and #8 car. These idiots are not the image that Dale Sr. would have wanted to see in his fans. :grr:


Here's my prediction for today. Gordon to win back to back, followed by Dale Jr. once again looking good in a restrictor plate race, Jimmie Johnson in third, , and Nascars punk Tony Stewart

Re: NASCAR thread
 

If you don't tell them I won't! :D

Re: NASCAR thread
 

They don't call me, I don't call them. :D

Jimmy sure is bumping into a few things today. :28:

I agree with the comments on the bad treatment of Gordon when doing the "3" tribute. NO CLASS! :grr:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Boy, I wonder what Tony's going to have to say on his next radio program after this? Johnson needs to be fined or at least have an official 'bumper car' sticker on the car...
:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

First off, I don't like Gordon!!! It was nice to see the debris distributors in cuffs. That is just low class behavior and not typical of most NASCAR fans. :grr:

Tony needs to stay away from a mic for a few days. :27:

I don't like him either but he is fun to watch and very talented. :D

Toyotti almost made it to the end. :tongue: They won't #1 today.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I don't agree with the beer can throwing, but I still think it's funny because it's happening to Gordon. It's an Earnhardt track, and they did'nt want to see him surpass Earnhardt's win record especially at that track.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Littering???

Disorderly conduct and considering the locals --- resisting arrest. :notsure:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

The cops probably took them back to the cop shop and gave them medals. :D

Re: NASCAR thread
 

As you can tell, yep I'm one of the few here that is a Gordon fan. I was also a Dale Sr. fan and I like JR. as well. Way to go, back to back for a great driver whether you Gordon haters want to admit it or not.

I for one find no humor at all in classless village idiots who want to hide behind a #3 t-shirt and call themselves fans and disgrace the legacy of a great driver like Dale Earnhardt. I'm sure most Earnhardt fans and Dale Jr. find it an embarrassment and a disgrace to see that pathetic behavior.

I will say this about throwing objects. There is absolutely nothing funny about it. Last year my daughter who's 8 years old was nailed in the back of the head at Michigan with a Budweiser can by a village idiot wearing a #3 shirt. What was our offense?? We were all wearing Jeff Gordon Shirts and caps. This idiots response for hitting a kid, "that's what she gets for wearing that faggots number". Yes he was arrested, yes I pressed charges, and though he didn't go to jail, he paid a hefty fine and now has a criminal record as well.

So sorry if I'm not very humorous in this activity. I"m sure that Earnhardt is looking down right now and find it a disgrace to see this pathetic behavior.
