only reason i dont like jeff gordon is because whenever i talk to someone who doesn't know a lot about nascar the person always brings up jeff gordon. jeff gordon is a fan boy

@nascarfanatic2425 I mostly agree. Not with everything, but most. With the way they have been running, the 24 team will win the title this year.

[nascarfanatic2425]

@mofoprada Exactly. Had they not thrown the caution at Indy, Jeff would've won the Brickyard 400 this year. Had it not been for the rain, Jeff probably would've won Pocono. If it wasn't for NASCAR, Jeff would've had a top-10 finish at the Glen. Had they not thrown the caution at Michigan, Jeff would've won then. Had NASCAR not been so hypocritical about the pit road speed, Jeff would've won at Bristol. NASCAR's kept Jeff from competing in the Sprint Summer Showdown, and now the #1 seed.

@nascarfanatic2425 This kinda stuff doesn't happen to Jimmie or Kyle when they are dominating a race. Nascar just lets the last 200 laps of the race run caution free. But when Jeff is dominating a race (for example: richmond last year) they throw a dumb caution (usually for mysterious debris) and they kill Jeff's chances of winning. If it weren't for all the bad luck that Jeff has had in the last 3 years or so, Jeff should be over 90 wins, not being stuck on 84.

@nascarfanatic2425 Jeff has had the worst luck towards the end of races in the last 3 or 4 years. Look at last year. He had races at Martinsville, Texas, Richmond, Pocono won. And just stupid cautions screwed him. Look at the last 6 races this year. He could have won 4 of the last 6 races at Loudon, Indy, Michigan and Bristol but stupid shit keeps happening to him. If it's not bad batteries, then its a fuel mileage race, or nascar messes up with cautions or leaves loophole on pit road.

@nascarfanatic2425 I agree. He was one of the top contenders in the 2008 Daytona 500. IDK if he would have won it, but if the suspension had not given out he would have had a great shot at it.

[nascarfanatic2425]

@mofoprada His car was AWESOME in the 500 in 08. I really wish his suspension hadn't given out, 'cause he would've won the 50th running of the Daytona 500. IDK if he had a shot in the 08 race in Charlotte, but he's well over-due for wins. He should've won the past two straight, but NASCAR screwed him over with the pit road speed and the caution.

[mofoprada]

@nascarfanatic2425 That is soooo true. Don't forget the 2008 Daytona 500. He had a top 3 car all day till he had suspension problems late. He also should have won the fall race @ charlotte in 2008 if Steve didn't mess up with the pit strategy late in that one.

[nascarfanatic2425]

@Rainbowarriors24 It's a fluke that he didn't win in '08 and '10 'cause there were 3 races in '08 Jeff should've won: Martinsville, Talladega, and Daytona, and there were IDK how many in '10: Vegas, Martinsville, Pheonix, Texas, 'Dega, Daytona, I could go on forever.

[Rainbowarriors24]

@nascaraddicted24 yea jeff would have won if it didnt rain or if the rain came about 10-15 laps later
