Jeff Burton and Jeff Gordon are the front row for the 500.
Only bad thing is the 24 will be on the pole for the second 150 qualifier while the 48 will be starting 3rd in the first qualifier.Unfortunately Jimmie will have no help from Vickers or K.Busch as they'll be in the second race also.Even Terry Labonte won't be able to help.The 48 is truly on his own for qualifying next Thursday.

Stop while you're behind seabass.Don't be calling me a hypocrite and damn well better not be referring to the 24 team as hypocrites cuz that they ain't.One thing the Dupont team has never done is compromise.
When folks like you got nothing constructive to say you always have to refer him as "Jeffie".So be it.Just remember "Pepsi drinkin Jeffie" has 73 wins and 4 Cups.Only two other teams(drivers) can make that claim and Rousch and its drivers ain't one of them.
This one's for you seabass  |

And he'll be starting from the back and probably won't have his crew chief for a few weeks. I have a feeling that NASCAR will make an example of ole' chad.

I'm not a Gordon fan but I don't understand the whole "anyone but gordon" and "fans against gordon" crowd that hates him so much. There are so many drivers who give us alot more reasons to hate them and who are more fun to hate as well.

Its often thought that many Gordon fans are bandwagon fans like so many in the 8 crowd are.
I ain't no bandwagon fan.I spent the entire '92 season wondering what I was gonna do after the great Davey Allison died.I wasn't even sure if I was going to continue watching.Then the final race at Atlanta came and I saw THAT CAR.Been a fan ever since.
It bothers me when they pull the "Jeffie" crap.Usually they sport the "Anyone Butt Gordon" or "F.A.G." t-shirts.Most are just a bunch of johnny-come-latelies who can't even tell you what Nascar stands for.

It is perceived that Jeff has 'attitude'. He was so dominant in the mid-90's that is was unreal. It wasn't neccesarily him, his team set the standard for preparedness for racing.
At the time the team was very Christian secular and their focus was perceived as attitude.
Jeff is no different in his time than Tony, Dale Jr., and others who have spent their entire life behind the wheel, doing one thing.
I do think that his team isn't as focused as the Hendrick team was in the past and I think other teams have had more focus than they do now.

people overlook the fact that he is one of the best drivers in nascar history. most people dont even know why they hate him, they just go along with the crowd, most of these people have #8 hats on, and they dont know why.

Sure they do. The hat also says Budweiser. Oh, and they've heard that his dad was "the man" too.

Anybody watching the Twin 150s?
Man they can just as exciting as the race!
How great is it that they're being run so late in the day.I got home in time to catch the last 20 laps of race 1 and I get to see all of race 2!  |

Not too take anything away from Gordon as he has a great track record to date, and I am not a hater but rather neutral. Do you feel his success has come from falling into the hands of a well established team that was suited for him when he entered the sport? Do you feel you would have had the same success say with the Wood Bros or a team that doesn't or hasn't had all the money to spend on the best equipment, pit crew, crew chief, wind tunnel, testing, etc?

I should follow up and say that I have seen #8 in person at Daytona continually tear up his car and run from the back to front with one half of his car missing and the other half duct taped, and it amazed me how he could blow by cars with no damage like they had 1 cylinder missing. I just think alot of these drivers sucess comes from the whole orginization and not necessarily the driver. Just look at Jimmy Johnson is he really that much of a better driver than Jeff Gordon? Seems Gordon has struggled since the 48 team came on the scene, same can be said for a lot of other teams as well

Not all Jr. fans. There are plenty of Jr. fans who are real fans. Alot were fans of his dad who went to Jr. when he died. Bet there are also a LOT of wannabe fans who jump on the Jr. bandwaggon because he's popular and drives the bud car. That's all I was saying. |
