Sorry Matt you hesitated,the 24 got up on ya with a lap car on the outside and you lost.Whine all you want the 24 won and you lost.Dale Earnhardt SENIOR would've NEVER apologized why the hell should Jeff Gordon!No room for whiners Matt!Deal with it!

BABY!Welcome to racing a second time!

Yikes

Gordon, who won for the second time in three weeks, was unapologetic, saying his aggressiveness was necessitated by his need to win.

"I drove right in the back of him," Gordon said. "I didn't mean to wreck him, but I didn't mind moving him out of the way. If we can get the win, we are going to go really hard to get that win.

NASCAR officials said the incident was just hard racing.

"A slower car in front of a faster car, and passing traffic in the closing laps of a race, it happens a lot," said NASCAR president Mike Helton. "If we had seen anything there for us to react to, we would have reacted to it already."

NASCAR Nation cannot have it both ways. Either you're on board for hard-nosed racing, or settle into the La-Z-Boy for more neutered racing.

Jeff Gordon's late-race tactic was no different than those utilized by Dale Earnhardt, and for all those who complain about NASCAR being vanilla in the years since Earnhardt's death, Sunday should have been a feel good flashback to the glory days.
