Maybe Jeff Gordon has had a change of heart.
When the four-time Cup champion arrived in Indianapolis on Wednesday, Gordon said he was looking for Matt Kenseth - and not just to push him out of the way like he did at the end of Sunday’s race in Chicago.
“I’d certainly like to see him before I leave here,” Gordon said before the third day of testing began. “I was hoping just to see him here because I figured we’d all be here.”
- Kenseth to sport new sponsor this weekend at Loudon
- Kenseth has no plans to make up with Edwards
- Kenseth and Gordon’s Bristol stats tell a winning tale
- Former NASCAR champs slam ‘Car of Tomorrow’
- Gordon and Kenseth point fingers over Sunday’s incident
What’s he wanna say….’uh, sorry I had to spin you out and cheat to win the race…good luck this weekend!’
What a crock!
I have to agree Davey!!!
it doesnt matter if he spinned him out cuz kenseth still checked up and he ran outa gas anyways. so it doesnt matter.
well you know what i think matt kenseth deserved it and i give jeff alotta thanks for giving jimmie johnson the points lead again
GO TEAM 48!!!!!!!
Davey, you probably have never been behind the wheel on a track, every turn you have to try your best to get off every turn with the best run to make a pass on the straightaway, to hold up and give your opponent the chance to get on the gas first is driving, not racing, you want to be just a little quicker. In that turn, Jeff got on it as he had every lap when catching Kenseth, Kenseth was beat by .33 seconds the previous lap and was clearly losing his run, he just didn’t get on the gas and what is known as a race incident occured, it’s racing, quit crying cause the driver with the best active record added another one to the history books. More to come baby, go Hendrick
Well said, Keith! Go Hendrick!!!!!
Keith,
It’s true, I have never raced cars (although I have raced Karts) .
Perhaps you’re right in your assertion that it was ‘a racing incident’. Gordon is, in my opinion, the most talented driver in Cup along with Tony Stewart.
I just happen to believe that Gordon did it on purpose. This was his chance to get Kenseth back for what Kenseth did to him at Bristol earlier in the year…he just waited for the right time to retaliate. ( I was very bit as disgusted with what Kenseth did to Gordon at Bristol BTW)
Maybe I am off base here (being serious here) …perhaps the real villan here is NASCAR for not having the balls to end this crap. To me, this is not racing and it demeans the sport.
No offense taken Davey, but here is what I saw, looking at the replays, which makes it pretty clear to me anyways. On every lap previous or at anytime during the race, I would think it would be safe to say and everyone could agree, that Gordon would be on the gas coming out of every turn as soon as possible to get the best run down the straight aways, right. And knowing that each lap he would be doing this, correct? It would be safe to assume he is trying to catch the leader I would think, and as much as possible short of losing the car. Now, knowing this, we never seen the kind of power surge forward as we did when the contact was made, and that makes me feel safe in assuming that Kenseth simply didn’t get on the gas for whatever reason, be it feeling loose, or whatever, Gordon could have never figured on that much of a surge to make contact, just doing what he would always try to do, and get the better run out of the turn to make the pass down the straightaway on the inside, it really almost looked like Kenseth didn’t get on the gas at all, hoping Gordon would let up and lose his run. The surge just really looked way to much to just be Gordon.
