Back to back Dodge wins baby!!!!!!![sm=icon_rock.gif][sm=gears.gif]

 

Yeah and in Kurt Busch fashion too. I dunno about any of you, but if two slow dudes were holding me up. I give em a bump too.

I personally loved it. ESPECIALLY later when Gordon got out a shoved Kenseth, awesome!

HA HA

I love Bristol!



Two in a row for Dodge!

 

I can't stand that unobrow. Turns Truex around, bumps Kenseth and then gets mad when he spun???? It almost looked like he didn't even touch him. He'll get over it. Good race though.

 

gordon should be driving the tampax car because he's such a *****.

 

Shoves Kenseth with his helmet still on! What a girl!

Yeah that bump and run is just Bristol! Ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

 

LMAO....Thats a good one. This should be the hate Jeff Gordon forum #24[sm=shootshoot.gif]

 

A GIRL HUH? Yeah; like he's gonna actually take the time and say " Wait a few minutes while I take my helmet off; then I'll kick your *** ( as a "GIRL" would do )!!" If you were a real "NASCAR" fan you would know that it takes a few minutes to take the helmet off due to the HANS device hooked to it, and when you are mad; your anger takes over and taking off the helmet is the dumbest thing you could do.

 

Dumbest thing you could do IF YOU DIDN'T WANT PUNCHED IN THE FACE is take your helmet off! Hey he's the one that got all pi$$y about it. Kenseth was coming over to apologize so if Gordon wanted a fight I'm sure he would have had time to take off the gear IF he really wanted to fight and not put up a bluff! He's trying to put on a tough guy image and it just doesn't work. I think it's kinda funny also that he was fined $10,000 by NASCAR for wrecking Truex after making a fool of himself with Kenseth. He's (Gordon) been wrecked alot worse than that and has never done anything about it but WHINE! It was just Bristol racing and he needs to get over it!

 

I take it you never played football then. If you didnt; let me tell you what MY coach always taugh us: Number 1 If you get into it on the field; DON'T remove your helmet...that's common sense. Number 2, if you've got time to take off your helmet and gloves...you ain't ready to fight.
