Trevor isnt an asshole, he just made a terrible move...who the hell wants to be pushed by Kenseth at Talladega? Gotta go with the guy who has won, plus being the second car gives you an advantage coming to the line
i dont care what trevor was told to do ! you make a promise that big then you stick to it. he just wanted to be a hero and win again i lost all respect for him right there
Bayne + Kenseth = Fail. Denny Hamlin finished 8th, yes 8th by riding all by himSELF (watch it again if you must)... yet these two guys got 15th and 18th... as for Bayne and Gordon, Kenseth has a legitimate shot to win the championship and is a fellow ford driver and Bayne leaving him out would've been really bad for his relationship with ford and roush. Whether Ford gave instructions or not, he had to do what he had to do.
Even if Trevor went with Gordon and got fired or something, Gordon would give Trevor a ride. Last time this happened the guy won 5 straight championships.
I'm no Jeff Gordon fan, but I really can't understand all of the Trevor Bayne hate... The kid was given orders to work with Kenseth after he had decided to work with Gordon, he had to do what he was told... I think the main reason so many Gordon fans are mad at Bayne is that he helped Matt Kenseth, which to a Gordon fan is like helping Satan himself...
@speedzonefilms Maybe not Satan, but.... A majority of Jeff Gordon fans really dislike Kenseth as a result of some past on track incidents, so much so that they call him "Kenshit" among other things. My point is that while they are somewhat angry that Bayne didn't work with Gordon, they're even more put off by the fact that the person he ended up working with was "Kenshit."
This type of racing is absolutely horrible. NASCAR has killed the racing at Talladega and Daytona and turned it into a joke. Drivers are at the mercy of their pusher. There are guarenteed wrecks started from the pusher not doing it right and spinning the guy, ALOT more dangerous. This 2 car nonsense is extremely boring and rediculous. You are going to have the big one no matter what, cars are gonna flip no matter what, and the racing sucks. NASCAR needs to get rid of this and go back to packs.
@DanD3815 The pack hasnt really left, there were points throughout the race they were still pack racing 3 and 4 wide. Look at the truck race, everybody but the KHI guys were pack racing. The drivers are tandem drafting ON PURPOSE. They dont need to do it, they are just compensating for the cars being so slow by themselves. The track having no bumps and the bumpers linning up is only whats alllowing them to do it. If they would just put some speed back in these cars they wouldnt need to do this.
It was good to see Jimmie Johnson not being a serious contender for the win, but he also kept Dale Jr.from running up front, even though Jr.did lead some laps..
It was only exciting when Tony was in the lead. He would've won had they not have ran on caution for so long. I like Bowyer but I was hoping Burton would win.
And, Bayne WAS ORDERED to abandon Jeff Gordon and go with Kenseth.
Supposedly, the order came from Jack Roush, which would make sense b/c he supplies the Wood brothers with their engines.......
I lost a lot of respect for bayne. If he had just said no to working with Jeff that would have been fine but he lied and then screwed him over. Wow Trevor.
@MrFatLipx Why do you just accuse him of lying? He may have planned on doing it, than the Ford people radioed his crew chief and told him 'no, stick with a Ford or you're in trouble'
Don't be so quick to accuse people of things, moron.
Now Gordon you know my pain when someone steals my drafting partner in NTG 2011. I guess because of Ford wanting Fords to push Fords he had to go with Kenseth, but Bayne is starting to get a little overrated. Oh, you won the Daytona 500, but you left Bobby when Carl came to get you who basically got you the win. Ricky Stenhouse is 1st in the NN, but he doesn't get a ride in Cup even though when he ran awesome in Charlotte. Nice finish, and good job by Clint and Jeff; they both won this race.
@andrew24rocks2 where did you hear that "fact"? I know the Fords were telling people during the week to only push Fords, but Trevor made that deal with Gordon during the caution. IF that was true, trevor shouldn't have made the deal. Plus I highly doubt he would "lose his ride" over that, because that would mean the Wood bros would fire him, not ford.
I really liked bayne, but boy I sure lost a lot of respect for him today.
Wow, Bowyer was a great teammate there at the end. Forgetting that Burton hasn't won since 2008 is a great show of sportsmanship. At least Kenseth had the dignity to push Ragan to his first win.
so thats how Trevor Bayne repays Gordon for giving him everything he has got from the Daytona 500? it makes me sick...
