Over all this race was boring in the begining and ended up wiht a possible underdog winning for the 2nd race in a row,but then shut out by a regular. 4.

Don Hintz posted: 07.04.2006 - 6:29 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) Let's see, Jimmie Johnson once again can't handle the car at Daytona. Takes Bobby Labonte out. His team mate (oh and also owner) says that people out there were being idiots. Then Gordon says there isn't anyone that will draft with him. Hmm... I remember seeing Hendrick cars 1-2-3. Jeff's gotta understand, no one wants to be around him because they know what is expected of them and, if they don't get out of the way, they know they will get wrecked. If there is one "Idiot" out there, then there's 43. Between Jeff Green usually hitting everything but the pace car and it's never his fault, and, if Gordon get's wrecked and it's always someone elses fault. My five year old daughter was watching the interview of Gordon after the race, she summed it up best: He needs a bottle and a diaper! I wish the media would stop handing every race to Jeff. There are 42 other capable drivers out there, well, take Jeff Green outta the picture there are 41 other drivers out there. We all wonder what the mysterious NASCAR "rule" book says, but we pretty much know it DOESN"T say, get outta Jeff's way, so we don't have to hear him cry. He got his win last week at Sonoma, now let him close his mouth and sink in the standings. The chase will be much better with him not in it. 7.

Informing Don Hintz posted: 07.05.2006 - 4:07 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Donnie boy...I think you mean Tony Stewart never accepts blame for his crashes. Exactly how did Jeff cause this accident? He and Bobby Labonte were both taken out being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You can dislike Gordon all you want, but that crash was not his fault. 9. Don Hintz posted: 07.05.2006 - 10:02 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Never said that Gordon caused the accident. His teammate, Jimmie Johnson, took out Labonte in an earlier crash. Never said I dislike Gordon. I don't understand how Yeley cutting a tire and getting into Biffle constitutes either driver to be an idiot. (that's what Biffle's site reports) It's part of racing and if anyone should know that, Gordon should use his experience, his 74 victories and four championships to know that. Don't remember saying a thing about Tony Stewart. Since you had to completly stick your foot in your mouth and prove to me you don't know much about what I said, Tony Stewart does and has accepted blame for his crashes. He said it: "That was pretty easy, I even had plenty of time to talk to them while we were sliding upside down," said Stewart, who led 25 laps. "It wasn't bad, just tore up the car up pretty bad. It was totally my fault, I'll take 100 percent responsibility. I think I clipped the 22 car when I came down, it wasn't anybody's fault but mine. I was the one that caused that one." There isn't any "Informing Don Hintz" that needs to be done, I think if you can't understand what I said, then you'd be best to e-mail me and we can talk racing, so I can better explain my response. My response was intended to point out the fact that Gordon is calling people who create wrecks idiots. Johnson created the wreck earlier that took out Labonte. In essence, he's calling his own teammate, as well as his driver (since he's listed as owner) an idiot. Johnson as well didn't admit anything that he did wrong, he's "got to watch the video" as he said. Man, if a guy has to watch the video to know what was going on in his own car, then I'd say part of what Jeff said was right then. 10. mk17ce99 posted: 07.06.2006 - 5:32 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) ^I think that means, STFU! lol 11. mk17ce99 posted: 07.06.2006 - 5:33 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) oh and Matt got 5th barely beating sadler! 12.

One of the many reasons I enjoyed the finish of the fall Talladega race. 22. Evan posted: 02.06.2007 - 9:37 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Same as 2005 but he runs it as if he's on a speedway. No one helped anyone get to him. Everyone just looked like they were looking out for themselves. Terrible race, this is one I'm taping over with NFL Football baby. 23.

It was legitimate though, a giant piece of something right at the S/F line. 35.
