Jeff Gordon has won the Pocono 500, which was stopped by rain today after 106 laps of a scheduled 200-lap, 500-mile race in Long Pond, Pa.
The race was delayed by rain for several hours, finally getting under way just after 5 p.m. Rains returned in the 7 o’clock hour. Ryan Newman, who was poised to catch Gordon just before the final caution flag that cleared the track, finished second.**
Since the race was past the halfway point and darkness was approaching, Gordon, who led for 26 laps, was declared the winner.

cue jeff gordon haters and hendrick conspiracy theorists
I love how NASCAR throws the friggin’ caution right as Newman was pasiing him on the inside!
Doesnt matter, no matter what hendrick will have the championship again. Nascar is getting boring again.
Andrew-It’s kinda hard not to if you watched the race.
Does this really surprise anyone though? I mean they’ve lost all
credibility to me, so I figured something like that would happen.
I will not be watchin the races anymore and i’ve been a fan myself since 97 with this all around all my life., this race was capital B boring yet again,
and don’t tell me “hey with rain and blah blah blah” the only way NASCAR can even keep it
exciting is if darkness, rain, or controversy and it is no longer about the racing.
it was rainin hard wen they threw the caution tho. but it had been rainin over that part of the track wen edwards was leadin. nice how they waited till gordon was leadin and rite after he said he couldnt hang on to his car no more to throw it. good one nascar. played rite into ure hands to let ure prettyboy win. was exciting to see hamlin an newman an truex race bak toward the front tho.
I’m not at all going to say Nascar threw it because Gordon was about to get passed, I just think it would have been more fair if they threw the caution at the end of that current lap. Let the finish line decide it. I just don’t see how they can decide when to throw it, the only fair way would be to let the lap be completed.
HEY GET FOR REAL GORDON WON SO GET OVER IT HE’S THE MAN!!THEY CALLED IT RIGHT!
bunch of bull&%*&&.
i’m so sick of this HMS thing. forget it. I’m not going to the pepsi 400 for THIS reason.
forget it ! I’m so sick of it.
Amanda, i dont blame you.
You can sit at home and just watch nascar cheat instead of being their an watching them cheat.
You already know that a chevy is going to win it, you just don’t know which hendrick chevy it will be yet.
I see Jimmie winning the next 3 races because hes not in 2nd place in points right now.
-Chris
Look Steve Latarte and Jeff Gordon put themselves in position to win the race and it worked out. They didnt have to best car..or a top 5 car. Anyone else could have used the same pit strategy, but no one did and most everyone took the easy route out. Jeff gambled and everyone else did the same ol same ol-4 tires fuel and hammer down. Quit complaining about it and realize that anyone could have used the same strategy (others did). But it was Jeff Gordons crew who utilized it to the fullest. And oh by the way Ryan Newman even said in his interview that a lap before the caution his windshielf was full of rain.
The whole deal was messed up starting with the 4 hour rain delayed start. I can’t believe that some of these teams actually have weather people/ meteorologists working with them! NASCAR was REALLY slow with yellows pertaining to Robby and Jimmie but pretty quick when Jeff was in trouble. The track had rain in turn 1 and the rest of the track was dry. That ain’t right! Then they were running out of daylight. Too bad they don’t have lights.
Are you guys serious? I mean really come on. Jeff won the race beacuse he was leading the race before they threw the yellow flag. Jesus what is wrong with you people. Do you REALLY think nascar sits around and “I think we will let Jeff Gordon win the race this weekend” You are stoooooopid. You are the same people that would throw beer cans at Jeff for winning a race! How about you use your brain for something other then a hat rack!!!
Congratulations to the 24 team. I question Nascar for the way they handle cautions (i.e. Robbie Gordon, I mean, come on!) but it isn’t any different than what they’ve done already this year. Newman & Hamlin were the cars to beat + a few others. I really would’ve liked to see a “W” for Newman. Great job & effort anyways 12 team.
Adam-Seriously dude, shut up. I would never throw anything on the
track, and don’t presume to tell me I would. Thanks. I think those
people are a mockery of the sport. And I’m also not saying they sit
around and do whatever it was you were rambling on about. I said it’s
odd that they threw the caution right at that precise moment and
called the race so quickly when they were willing to wait three hours
to even start the thing. And it was apparently raining earlier on when
Edwards was leading, and I’m curious why they didn’t put it under
caution then.
Yes, Newman said his windshield was full of rain. I’m not saying they
shouldn’t of called a caution. I’m saying they should of finished out
the lap because, as you proved by mentioning Newman’s statement, the
cars were already wet anyway.
I TOTALLY agree with Adam. You people lost your minds. Nascar treats everyone the same and is only looking out for the driver’s safety. Do you guys honestly think that they were looking to see who was winning the race and then threw the caution?! Nascar does everything they can do to get the race in. What? Is it Nascar’s fault it was getting dark and they had to call the race too? Grow up people and stop whining. As for Jimmie is going to win the next 3 races because he’s not in 2nd in points.. Come on — Right now all that matters is who is making The Chase.. better than 12th! Haters.
okay nascar is beginning to bore me. i want to see a race. as much as i was opposed to the idea of jr. signing with hendrick, i think it just might make nascar exciting.
jeff, jimmy and junebug.
winning. whining and redefining.
oh but i do like biffle and stewart and that little twat kyle busch.
A. if Jr signs with Hendrick he will have exactly one fan, his sister
B. Mike Helton needs to stop blowin rick hendrick(or vise versa)
C. NASCAR is starting to look alot like formula one. too much gentlmans racin and not enough punching reporters in the face for asking stupid questions. GO TONY!
Robby Gordon blows a tire, caution flies, junk on the track! They threw late but threw it, right move. Jimme Johnson blows a tire they did not throw a caution because the race was not half over? If they had every one would have pitted and Jeffy loses the race. Pretty clear to me!!!!
adam and manda… you dont think any of those cautions were suspicious what-so-ever? i dont think any of us are stupid for thinking that. seemed liked all the cautions favored jeff.. caution for debre.. jeff stays out.. johnson blew a tire.. no caution(JEFF LEADING).. caution right before newman was about to pass him… you both need to open your eyes before you spill your nonsense.. im no hater of jeff.. hes one of the best out there but that whole race seemed suspicious..
OK Adam I’m stupid and my head does make a good hat rack and my #3 cap sit’s atop it proudly everyday. But be real here NASCAR is favoring HMS especially Jeff. It’s not just Pocono either it’s been happening all season long. It’s amazing that the caution at the end of several races this year have favored Gordon.You can’t sit there and say what has happened all season long is not suspicious. As for calling us stupid you must be watching the races in an alternate universe or something because I KNOW what I see and I see NASCAR using cautions to benefit certian drivers and I’ve seen it more than once..
I have to agree with The Intimidator Fan. If you watched the race (such as it was called) saw debris from Johnson’s car, no caution. Granted it was less than from R. Gordon’s but still more than from most debris cautions. Also, when it is obvious that Newman is about to pass Gordon–caution. What else can you assume? Remember the delayed caution when Martin was about to win earlier this year. And don’t forget Stewart’s comments earlier this year also (for which he was chastised severely by NASCAR. Isn’t it time for realistic unbiased calls track side? The only time I’ve seen Stewart falsify things was when he apologized for his comments after the NASCAR thrashing.
This flag and driver situation IS getting like the WWE. Maybe Tony was right after all? The WWF calls it “entertainment”. And anyone that throws anything on the track during a race should be arrested. It’s a driver safety issue. About 11 years ago, I took one of my buddies to Atlanta. He’d seen the races on t.v. for years but never attended one. I’ll never forget the look on his face when they announced that anyone caught throwing chicken bones on the track would be arrested. He turned to me and asked ” Where the f*ck did you take me? Who in this day and age would throw chicken bones on a race track?” It was priceless!
I am so tired of listening to the haters bitch, piss and moan about how
Nascar cheats. You know for a fact if that would have been jr. winning that
race yesterday you wouldn’t be hearing this crap. Jeff gordon has no control over the rain. Just like He has no control over Nascar throwing the Caution flag. A win is a win!
Ryan newmans teams was ok finishing 2nd. Maybe he would have won it if it wasn’t for the rain delay, maybe Kenseth would have won it. When a race is red flagged like t5hat
it’s not the drivers fault. So get over yourselves! Sheesh! Congrats to Jeff Gordon.
All though I don’t like to see him win races like this but A win is a win!!
STOP SWEARING. I don’t know how many people have to tell you this.
Kids read these posts. Either don’t use them, or use underscores to
represent some of the letters or something. It’s just not difficult
to do.
And don’t even begin to assume that. I’m a Jr fan, but if it was Jr
this kept happening to I would most certainly still be arguing it.
I don’t care who the driver is, fair is fair and unfair is unfair.
Period.
The Debris from JJ and Robby Gordons cars was out of the racing line mostly…However you cant run a 3500lbs stock car on slick tires into a damp 90 degree corner without serious injuries and even deaths…if you need to see what a little bit of dampness does to cars look at the opening lap of the 2001 All-Star Challenge where 90% of the field wrecked because the track was wet.
If that’s true, why didn’t they bring them in when it was raining
earlier on when Edwards was leading?
And I believe what they were saying is both caused debris, so why
was a debris called for one and not the other? From what I’m hearing,
the way it was set up benefitted Gordon. I can’t honestly form my own
opinion on that because I was doing other things during the race and
missed parts of it.
Everyone that realizes that the cautions and timing is bogus, thank you. We are the smart ones. These guys that are opposing what we KNOW is true [the people with the screen names who are OBVIOUSLY gordon fans because they have 24's and gordon's name in them], are defending their driver. My automatic reaction is to get pissed when someone puts down tony. These guys only know how to back up their driver, but not their thoughts. It was clearly obvious that they were throwing cautions in gordon’s favor last night. To back up my point, listen to this; my friend who has NEVER watched a race in his entire life watched the race yesterday because I asked him to. When the caution was thrown late for robby, he called me and said, “Why was the crash called only when the 24 car went into the lead?” HE even noticed it..then he called me later during the race and asked me, “Why didn’t they call that guy’s tire going down? It seems like they arn’t doing anything because that 24 car is leading.”
Now, if someone who doesn’t know any race vocabulary, doesn’t know the drivers and has never seen a race can realize that there’s something fishy going on, then you KNOW they are bogus cautions.
I wish tony wouldn’t have backed off on what he was saying earlier in the year. He should have stuck by what he though, but hey, I don’t think you’d want to go around having to deal with that much of a burden on your back constantly so it’s easier to say ’sorry’.
Ok guys.. So what you are saying is that JUST because Jeff was leading the race they didn’t throw a caution when Jimmie blew his tire? Ummm don’t you think a caution would benefit Jeff with having the field locked up. That would put Jeff in 1st for SURE at that point. Nascar gets darned if they do.. darned if they don’t. You guys are just bitter because your drivers aren’t in the spot light (as much) as the Hendrick boys. Maybe if your teams had good crew chiefs like Letarte that made the right choice to pit or not to pit.. they would end up in Victory Lane. OOO here’s one for ya.. did Nascar tell Letarte not to pit, was there a whisper in his ear…. I wouldn’t do that if I were you… Yeah.. I’m sure Jeff just loved to hear of his win while he was standing and not driving… A win IS a win. Get over it.. you guys are some sore losers.
Do you even have brain cells? Of course a caution wouldn’t of
benefitted him. It would of put the entire field on his rear bumper
and made it easier for them to pass him. And no princess, what we’re
saying is the cautions all seem to fall whenever they benefit little
Jeffy the most. Why did they call a caution for Robby’s shredded
tire when it helped Jeff and NOT call one for Jimmie’s, again, when it
helped Jeff? THAT’S what we’re saying. Both didn’t even leave debris
in the racing groove. The only common factor is that they helped out
posterboy.
And what in h__l do I have to be bitter for? The drivers I like can
win without help and without using their bumper, unlike yours. Oh,
by the way, Steve Letarte started out as an interim crew chief if I
remember correctly. And has been caught cheating before. Yeah, great
crew chief you have there.
And I figure you all must have a guilty conscience about it to
immediately jump down everyone’s throat about it. All I initially
said is it’s odd they didn’t finish out the lap because even Newman
said it, the windshields were already covered in rain and the cars
were already wet on the lap before. So why not just finish out the
lap and see if Newman could of passed him.
i think everyone should hurt nascar in the pocket by not even watching a race or going to one until they get their act together
Listen here Breanna. Are you blind? Did you not see all the debris coming off of R. Gordon’s car? Could THAT be there reason there was a caution flag? Did you see debris flying off of Jimmie’s car any where close to what was coming off of Robbie’s car?? Any other time.. people boo and whine because caution flags are thrown. MAKE UP YOUR MIND! Do you want a yellow flag or not? As for Letarte being a cheater.. COME ON… they ALL cheat. It’s if they get caught or not. The crew chiefs are always coming up with ways to get their car faster. I’ll tell ya why you have to be bitter. Because yet again Hendrick and Chevy did well and your driver didn’t. You sound like a whining Stewart fan.
“The Princess”
Meeoowww!! hiss-hiss!!
Someone said that the red flag wasn’t thrown when Edwards was leading in the rain. That was a good point. For the record, Jeff Gordon is a great driver. When you’re that good, you really don’t need a coincidence or so called “racing luck” to get a win. I agree a win is a win. Jeffy has driven top notch equipment in his entire NASCAR Cup career as has Junior, Stewart, Johnson, Mears, McMurray, Biffle, Kenseth, and The Busch Brothers. Big E, Rusty, Martin, Rudd and Jarrett drove junk early in their Cup careers. Jarrett and Mikey Waltrip are nothing without that Yates and DEI horsepower. They deserve each other.
Bloody Hell this is rediculous. Your own attachment to your favorite drivers has blinded you and overwhelmded logic and reason! You believe so blindly your conspiracy theory that everything that favors a HMS driver is seen as a huge plot my NASCAR to let them win. Its a bunch of bull. All NASCAR was trying to do was keep the race going, because if they stopped it short of half way everyone would have had to stayed until Monday. One thing a stock car cannot do is run in rain with slick tires. thats why the caution was thrown quickly with gordon in the lead…thats how it is. deal with it and move on.
well if it was turned the other way, and Ryan or anyone else was in the position Jeff was in, it would of been alright then? Jeff won fair and square..just like anyone else that won in the rain.
Angel
I remember not too long ago when everyone was accusing Helton and Roush of being bed mates when Roush’s boys won back to back. I wish Helton would hurry up and become Jrs. bedmate so the whining can stop (BTW - I am not a Jr. hater). Helton and Hendrick have figured it out. Like when Gordon was over-heating at Darlington and his motor held on for the finish he must have had one of those special non-breaking when it overheats engines. . OR when Casey Mears gambled and won at Charlotte. Must have had a secret larger fuel cell. I can’t believe some of you can write this stuff in good conscience and believe you can prove a point… I can’t believe your paranoia allows you to even log on to a computer with all of your conspiracy theories. I am a huge NASCAR fan, but I am just not smart enough to figure out that it is rigged yet.
BTW - for those of you saying they should have thrown it when Edwards was leading, he didn’t have enough fuel to make it halfway… Helton made sure of that when he secretly went and made some of it disappear to ensure Gordon’s victory. That Helton is a tricky fella.
Has anyone heard about Jarrett leaving Waltrip?
I myself would’ve loved a win for Newman. My only “conspiracy theory”, if you wanna call it that, is that Nascar is very inconsistent on when it chooses to throw out the yellow. Congrats to the 24 team for the win. Not trying to take away anything from them. I don’t care who won or who would’ve won. The timing of Nascar for throwing cautions was & is highly questionable, throughout the whole race. Despite difference in the amount of debris from R. Gordon or J.J. there is still debris being thrown onto the racing surface. It doesn’t take much at all to cut a tire just from running over it & the fact that they both stayed out on the racing surface didn’t help. I don’t remember what race it was or if it was J-Mac or not but I do remember earlier in the season someone had cut a tire & was stuck on the outside groove. It took a long, long while for Nascar to throw a yellow so they could get to pit road. Nascar waited way to long IMO & from the opinions of the commentators on t.v. I won’t argue Jeff’s win but I will argue Nascars decision(s) on when they decide to wave the yellow flag.
“Manda”-Just so you know, princess is what I call someone I view as
ridiculously unintelligent. Don’t feel special, it’s been used on
several girls [[and boys]] over the years.
As far as the cautions go, usually they call a caution for any little
thing. I’ve seen them call a caution for a tiny piece of rubber sitting
on the apron of the track. So how much was flying off or wasn’t is
irrelevant. I don’t care if they throw a lot or a little, but I do
care that they do it fairly. Which, it appeared to me, they weren’t.
I know all the crew chiefs cheat, and it IS a matter of getting caught
or not. So I guess you helped me prove how stupid he is. Thanks, I
appreciate it. Oh, and, hey moron, I’M A CHEVY GIRL. And Tony Stewart
is my second favorite. But I always find it easier to tell a Gordon fan;;
they tend to be a whiny c__t just like their driver. Now, moving on
to more intelligent people…
Dreggsta-Yup, I’m at it again. I can’t help it, people push my buttons.
o.O
George-I agree that Jeff Gordon has a lot of talent. I used to like
him, back in his earlier days. Just now he appears to toss his talent
aside and use his bumper. So he’s known better than the skilless.
Andrew-I don’t believe Nascar actually fixes it’s races. I think they
play favorites, and not just with HMS. You’re the one who insists the
issue only deals with HMS drivers, so who are you trying to convince?
And again, thank you for helping prove my point. “One thing stock
cars cannot do is run in rain with slick tires.” Exactly. So if they’re
so hellbent on safety and safe races, they should of reigned em in earlier
when Edwards was leading.
NSCRFAN-As I’ve said many times, I don’t believe they fix all races.
I dont’ believe they fix ANY races. And I certainly don’t believe all
that are fixed have to do only with HMS. I think they play favorites
with all car owners and drivers over different periods of time. And I
never heard those rumors;; usually you hear about how Nascar has it out
for Roush and Mark Martin.
Dreggsta [[second comment]]-That’s basically what I’m saying too.
well my boy won again and ya’ll are complaining like normal because jeff gordon kicked but yet again. get over it he’s on awsome driver and it bothers all you peeps because yer drivewr is in a slup. jeff was there too remeber he had bad seasons after 2001 to last yer. so now he’s winning again by his driving yer all mad. go cry to some one who’ll want to hear it lke yer theorpist.
it was crew chief call that all it matter to make it win.. other wise if 12 would have beat 24 on that turn while it was little bet rain would have cause crash there… it fair call even 12 said it.. wake up people and quit being a baby about it.. if u dont like nascar then dont watch it or dont go.. someone else will take ur place… it was fair call by crew chief to make the win… wtg to go jeff 24 wooohoooo
EXCUSE ME?! How DARE YOU call me names. You are a hating, no common sense, piece of CRAP that is a shame to this sport. When did I say I was ever a Jeff Gordon fan anyways?! I am NOT a Gordon fan. I am a race fan. By the way.. Did they not have to look at the tape to see who was leading the race?! Nascar doesn’t give a crap who was leading that race when that red flag was dropped. Let it be Edwards.. let it be Newman, who cares?? As for Letarte.. this isn’t a matter of who is a cheater, we are talking about making good calls here. Let’s see here.. did he cheat by telling Jeff not to pit? Don’t even try to play the cheating card.. it has nothing to do with that race yesterday. It IS about who was out front when the track conditions were not SAFE no longer for the drivers. They waited as long as they could to drop that flag. Grow up and stop blaming everything under the sky.. including me…. for your driver not doing as well as the UNSTOPPABLE HMS BOYS!! Oh and you go ahead and call me Princess. You just keep hating on me and HMS.. I LOVE IT. MUAH! B___CH!
~The MotherF’ing Princess~
Jeff didn’t REALLY win the race….it was his crew chief ! I still think that they could have raced later ! Oh well…at least they didn’t take up the whole show talking about the baby ! Don’t get me wrong…but the last couple of weeks have been consumed by this ! I do hope that this baby girl will be born healthy ! Lets talk about racin ! Isn’t thats what the Nextel cup is about ?
anyway people here what Newman said…
• You can’t blame Newman for backing off of Gordon when the heavy rains came on what turned out to be the final lap of the Pocono 500 Sunday. He was walking a fine line between wanting to win the race and risking a wreck that would have ruined his fine day. But you’d also like to see a little more fire out of Newman, who afterward said, “I’m not mad by any means.” Darn it, he had a right to be hopping mad — and folks might take to him a little more if he showed more emotion.
he even call fair race people…
hahaha god. I’m guessing you’re thirteen. Ish. Maybe.
Meaning I shouldn’t really argue you, you’re not grown up yet.
Half the stuff you said was you twisting my words anyway.
And, you quoted Avril Lavigne. And actually got your panties in a twist
over a stupid name. That’s brilliant.
So. Thanks for the laugh. And if it makes you feel victorious, the
huge grin on my face at your ignorance is making my snakebites hurt.
So, atleast you accomplished something detrimental to me.
Oh, by the way, if I’m a piece of crame and a shame to the sport for
having opinions, so are you. And atleast I don’t throw temper tantrums.
Alright, so, I come on here to debate racing, not bimbos. I’ve said
my piece to you. I bid you adieu.
Moving on.
“grow up people”-Newman worked hard to get to the top level. A good
way to get dropped out of it is to oppose the bosses.
I already stated my opinion near the beginning of the post, Nascar does not fix races, but congradulations to the 24 TEAM. The crew chief made a hell of a decision and I believe they earned it. They outsmarted everybody else.
Go Dale Jr!
Oh, and Jeff Gordon needs a haircut!
Just so you know Breanna.. I am not a child. I am a long time Nascar that doesn’t like when people bash things that there is no reason for.. There is no reason to come up with these conspiracy theroies.. Nascar isn’t out the get anyone. They do what they can do given the circumstances. Talking on here is like talking to a brick wall.. I am done giving my opinions, and facts….
No but Nascar does make some highly questionable calls (i.e. their timing for cautions). There is nothing paranoid or conspiratorial about it. Anyone who has been watching the races this season should have a clue even if it doesn’t seem like a big deal to them.
BTW, I second Andy, Jeffy does in deed need a haircut, lol. I said the same thing when they interviewed him.
Again, congrats to the 24 team.
Breanna- “Exactly. So if they’re
so hellbent on safety and safe races, they should of reigned em in earlier
when Edwards was leading.”
It was not raining at that point. Rain was first reported on lap 104 (I have trackpass/DirecTV hotpass/and all that NASCAR.com stuff) However they kept the race running 2 more laps after that. I really like this site, but as of late I am tired of having to read comments that are personally motivated and bare no fact. No one was complaining when DEI raped everyone every year at Restrictor plate tracts did they? No one complained in 2005 when Roush Racing dominated the season? No. Everyone complains because strategy can win races. If you dont like it, go watch Formula One where you can be sure the best car wins by over a minute.
Bitch piss and moan!!! Thats all I ever see on here! Jeff won the race
fair and square. Bitching bout it ain’t gonna change anything.
NASCARfanforlife24…You are exactly right
Finally a person with sanity
He won its over…move on
Wow just when i think my comments can only piss off a few people everyone goes nuts. Maybe everyone should just shut up and watch the sport that we all love. If you think something is going on stop watching. Jesus nothing like a good cat fight to come home and read about.
Adam-I already called the cat fight over. It’s pointless, and I have
better things to do. Fighting with someone over a computer for any
length of time is like running in the special olympics. I assume you’ve
heard that phrase before.
Dreggsta-Thank you for having common sense.
Andrew-I’ve heard from double digits worth of people that it was raining
earlier in the race when Edwards was leading. And-for what the fifth
time?-I never said it’s just HMS they play favorites too. Maybe they
had something to do with all that as well;; I don’t know.
To andrew.. just ignore the comments then dude.. and to you hms fans.. you didnt see any suspicious moves on the cautions they made? all of them somehow benefitted jeff? i actually like jeff and i know he has nothing to do with the cautions and what not but nonetheless.. those cautions were suspicious..
This site isnt even worth it. I bet all you people who think NASCAR is letting HMS win races believe we never landed on the moonand the government has aliens locked up. Grow up.
