J Gordon ...Champ or Chump?

[MUD MAESTRO]

Jeff Gordon takes out Clint Bowyer after a racing rubbing incident. Seems Gordon took uncharacteristic exception to Bowyers skills and wrecked Boyer before the white flag lap. Personally I understand those retaliating deals but this one was extremely nasty. Let the discussion begin.

ya nascar should park gordon for the next race just like they did kyle bush after he wrecked ron h. they said because Ron had an out side chance to win the truck championship that years. clint was close enough or at least as close as Ron was. so we'll see how nascar stands by their past rulings. I'll bet they do nothing more than they did tonight.

now how about that no yellow after the 31 spun the 10 car. it should have been a yellow and a second green.white checkered. but they knew the 29 and maybe the 18,11 and the 5 would run out of fuel so they did nothing and look at what happened to so many cars.

Chump! Gordon has been irrelevant since 2003 or before, he knows it and can't take it. He's always been "untouchable" unless he was doint the touching. He got raced and lost his sh**...then really lost his sh**. As I told a friend on mine who's a 24 fan "the 5 time Champ just turned punk".

Bowyer dug his own grave earlier in the year.

Bowyer driving a little too aggressive just to hold one position, Gordon was clearly faster than him at the time. Should have just let Gordon have it then race him clean for it. Bowyer already cost Gordon a win earlier, clearly PO'd him this time aorund.

Why didn't Bowyer pass him on the outside? Gordon was blackflagged and was heading to the pits. The wreck was just before pit road. Bowyer should have went high, instead he goes low, all Gordon has to say is he was going to pit road as instructed by NASCAR. Just happened that Clint was there. I mean, really? Clint thinks he can use up people and there will be no retaliation? It sucked that Logano got caught up in the fight.

That was far from "using him up" Gordon wrecked himself. He was fine till he got back into Clint.

Dug his own grave...I'm guessing you mean Martinsville in April...yup race car drivers aren't supposed to try and win. By the way, Bowyer took himself out in that deal too.

Bowyer is/was racing for a Championship. Gordon is racing for...well...nothing. He lucked into his one win this season, time to step aside and let the racers race.

A driver making the Chase should step aside? Boywer had this coming in my opinion you don't bump good cars and drivers around and think that there are not going to be consequences.

Four time Champ!!!

Run Gordon Run!

While Gordon is parked next week, hopefully Johnson finishes 43rd and Keselowlski finishes 42nd so Gordon's teammate doesn’t end up winning another championship. After all, Johnson really is contributing to killing the sport with his boredom. And, hopefully Bowyer will lead the most laps and win the race only to lose the championship to Keselowski by about four points. Hopefully all will recognize then that the only reason Bowyer didn’t win the championship is because Gordon took him out of the Phoenix race today. When Gordon took Bowyer out today, Bowyer was only 24 points out of the championship. Gordon’s teammate, Johnson, was 20 points behind Keselowski at the time, and Gordon took the action right in front of Keselowski. Surely the golden child of NASCAR will be parked for a good while.
And another thing, the bumping that took place between Gordon and Bowyer at Phoenix today before Gordon’s retaliation was actually Gordon’s fault. Watch closely and I think you’ll probably agree. Bowyer did nothing wrong but get hit by a spoiled brat that gets easily frustrated now by no longer being able to drive as well as he once could. Perhaps Gordon really was never that good a driver, maybe it was really Evernham that made him shine so
And the fight in the pits – well, that was cool. My favorite four words at the races have always been “Security to the Pits!” Looked like Gordon took a very well deserved butt whooping by Bowyer’s pit crew. You can tell a lot about how smart a driver is or isn’t by the timing of their taking off of the helmet. And then Bowyer running thru the pits after Gordon – Priceless! I just wish the cameras could have caught up with Gordon running to get away from him. Would have been fun to watch Bowyer, the real dirt tracker, go after Gordon.
Mike Helton probably hasn’t even thought about dealing with Gordon’s retaliation on a driver with a chance at a championship yet. I bet he’s most frustrated with one of his star drivers running away from one of his blue collar driver in the pits. Glad I don’t have to watch garbage like NASCAR’s race today at the dirt tracks. Run Gordon Run!

I just feel bad for the guys that were innocent, Logano and Almirola.

Brad K is the real deal, he is going to be one of the best ever. I like him because he tells it like it is, no beating around the bush.

Is that Kyle or Kurt LOL

why wasnt laganos dad in the fight haha

Karma from that east/west allstar race a few years back. karma

bk isnt bad. At least he has some personality.

[TS FAN]

I cannot stand Gordon and never could, but that doesn't change my opinion on this. Gordon made a bone head move that he is regretting already. Taking out someone that has a shot at the title, however small, at this point in the season is very unwise. What does everyone think is going to happen if Gordon ever gets back in a title chase? Boyer would be smart to just move on for now, but you can bet this will never go away if he can get even when it counts. JMO of course.

Gordon did however wreck himself trying to wreck Bowyer earlier. Seems to had the same results that Danica had a couple weeks back trying the same tactics.
