Daytona 500

NASCAR has changed A LOT. Not as exciting or fast with all the damn restrictor plate races...I guess they are out for safety. Oh well I just don't think its what is used to be. I perfer NHRA to NASCAR any day.

I'll admit Gordon is a good driver, or he wouldn't be where he is. I just personally don't like him, I don't even know why, I just don't like the guy.

Gordon is a wuss.

Why's that?


I'm not a Gordon fan, but I do get sick of all the "fans" ragging on him for no reason. The fact is he's a great driver with tons of skill. Just because he wins alot, he's a wuss?


Now Kurt Busch, on the other hand, is definetly a wuss. [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]For some reason people just hat him...


And Dale Jr. having a better car then Gordon? Not so sure about that he was back in the field most the race and came out of no where at the end. Now maybe Stewart, might have had a better car but it worked out.

Gordon is a cry baby when he doesn't win or something doesn't go in his favor.


I was at the coco cola 600 last year and before they start all the driver ride around in the back of a truck and wave to the crown well, When gordon came around everyone was booing or laughing at him so he stopped waving.

Thats because FOX broadcasters were talking to him. Hard to wave, pay attention to fans, and talk about an upcoming race. I am not a Gordon fan, anyone who is a Mark Martin fan remembers 1998, so since then I have despised the man. But, I will admit when someone has a better car, and Gordon had it this last weekend.

BTW, if you think he lack talent, then maybe I can interest you with this info. I watched him take laps in Juan Montoya's F1 car LIVE, went to the track that day to watch. After only his third lap, he was no more than .250 seconds off of the record holders (Michael Schumacher) fastest lap around the Formula circuit at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. If anyone has ever seen a Formula 1 car, they make a NASCAR stock car look like a cheap Walmart model car that has been on the clearance rack. Complicated pieces of machinery, and you better have a ton of talent to be able to pilot a car that sophisticated. Gordon had it. If Gordon wasn't under a lifetime contract, I would LOVE to see him race in Formula 1, he really could give Schumi a run for his money.

fox broadcasters were not talking to him, he was riding around in the back of a d@mn pickup truck. I never said he lacked talent, but he is still a little wuss.

Hahaha, I'm enjoying this because as a Dale Earnhardt and Dale Jr. Fan, I'm destined to hate Gordon. Although I do give him respect. And yes V6Bob, that's the one thing that pissed me off--Having Gordon 1st, Earnhardt 2nd, Johnson 3rd on the last restart. I was yelling at the TV at Earnhardt to STAY RIGHT THERE where he was at, cuz any move woulda been bad. I really thought Martin had a chance, and woulda loved to seen that.

Tony Stewart had a better car than all, but had no friends. Earnhardt had better car and had no friends. Gordon had a winning car as well, but the only variable is that he had friends. He even admitted that he was glad Busch didn't follow Junior and that if it was just Him and Junior, it would've been really close.

I have taped every race since the 1999 Pepsi 400 at Daytona, including Bud Shootout and Winston races. I watched that Coca Cola 600 you are talking about, I have it taped. Gordon has a mike in his hand, headset on, talking to Larry McReynolds , while riding in the truck. Only video on it was from the camera up top the stands, filming just him being driven around during driver introduction. Kinda surprised you didn't see a big blue headset around Gordons head while he was being driven around the track.

Well if you have taped them, I can't say your not telling the truth lol, plus it was a while ago.

I didn't see that because I was to busy laughing and booing him along with everyone else.
