What a crock of shit sat there and watched that race for it to end because of weather they didnt even wait it out! Good race up to that point though!

The only crock of shit was the fact that they didn't penalize Jr for rough driving!

exactly. all the announcers, dave despain, and every media news outlet was saying how jr was at fault. it was horrible.

they penalized jason leffler in the nationwide race for doing the same thing, but they don't penalize jr for it.

there's nascar world and then theres earnhardt world, it's just the way it is.

I am not a big NASCAR fan or even watch it that much.
About 10-12 years ago Jeff Gordon was winning like every race. Have the other drivers cuaght him as far as talent? Is his team/car just not as good as it used to be? It is a combination of both?
Just curious. Enlighten me folks.
Thanks

My dad watches it. Gordon still usually wins every race. It's either him or some other guy (and Gordon owns that guy's car).

**matt1005** · 03-08-2009, 07:53 PM

From his website, he hasn't won in 14 months or so. I do understand that he is a member of Hendrick (sp?)

**GirlyMuscle** · 03-08-2009, 08:00 PM

Jeff Gordon drives for Hendrick Motorsports and is a co-owner of his car. I'm sure he has stake in other cars too. I'm a Gordon fan and he hasn't been winning much these days. Then again winning isn't everything in NASCAR.

As far as winning like the old days....I think just about all the drivers out there are excellent. They wouldn't be there if they weren't. I think they go through changes in their careers depending on the team behind them. Gordon hit a sweet spot for quite a few years. He's a very talented driver and with the right team again he could go right back to the top.

**DaveV** · 03-08-2009, 08:00 PM

I don't know. My dad says people get mad at him because he's so good. Then again, he only became a fan of him because he was winning at the time. Same as he hated Tiger Woods at first because of obvious reasons you don't need to think too hard about and then now likes him because he's the best at the game. My grandfather is the same. They only cheer on the winners.

Jeff Gordon was a very good driver and very dominant that was till he brought his team member Jimmie Johnson on board, now Jimmy is winning everything including the last 3 championships!

Somebody finally got it right. Although Girly is right too.

Honestly though, I hope he never wins another race.
