Hell when Jeff Gordons purse spills on the track its ok?
It’s about time Robbie got punished for some of the crap he’s pulled! He sure was a lousy liar when he tried to claim it wasn’t him.
Damn, it said Gordon fined, I was hoping it was Jeff!
You all are just jealous that Jeff is where he is at, he’s gotten there because he is truly one of the smartest not to mention talented drivers of all time !!
