Stop the presses! Jeff Gordon is a whiny douche.

Wouldn't've thought it in a million years. :sarcasm:

Jeff Gordon said he finds it "a little fishy" that Paul Menard spun out at Richmond last weekend, forcing a caution that helped teammate Kevin Harvick win the race. He also wondered if Richard Childress Racing ordered Menard to do it.

Gordon was leading Harvick in Saturday night's race when Menard spun with 16 laps to go. The drivers pitted during the ensuing caution, and Harvick was first out of the pits to take the lead. He pulled away on the restart four laps later....

"If any of that is true of what's being speculated right now, all I can say is I've lost a lot of respect for Paul Menard if that's the case," Gordon said during a media tour that included the 12 Chase drivers.

"I don't want to blame him for any of that if it's not true. He might have just lost it off of turn four and the caution came out. But when you listen to the radio, and I've had other people translate it to me, it sounds a little fishy."

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

Looks like we may have to take ol' Jeff off the track in this:

1. I was wondering the same fucking thing. It seemed a bit fishy that the

only way to stop Jeff Gordon was to pull something like Harvick & Menard did.

:tinfoilhat:

Oh, and unrecced.

ETA: Did you watch the race? Gordon was running away from them all, until that happened. After that, he got stuck in traffic and didn't have a chance.

4. Nice post, Jeff!

Have fun at your next Promise Keepers rally! :P

2. Wait a second...

I thought you said NASCAR was not a sport, cboy, Kama!

3. When did I ever say NASCAR wasn't a sport?

Although I must say I've been drifting away from it since the advent of the Car of Yesterday.

5. What clued you in?

6. Granted, I am far from being a NASCAR fan.

But I know Jeff Gordon is a douche.

However, why does NASCAR allow members of the same racing team to be in the same race? Seems like this would be a good strategy to make sure the team wins.

7. The "call?"

Maybe that's what came down from NASCAR? I think the "sport" has turned into pro rasslin' on wheels - and I used to be big time fan and race attendee.
