Definetly not.But the vast majority of the Gordon hating crowd do wear red.And a good portion of that crowd didn't even pay attention to racing before the '01 500.Dale Sr.'s death did more to expose Nascar to the masses than anything else in Nascar history because it was the lead off story on the national news for a week.

As Redneck said many hate Gordon and they don't even know why.You have to remember Dale Sr. had(has) many fans and during the 90s he was being beat on a very regular basis by Gordon and people simply get tired of watching one driver constantly win especially when its their driver who was considered the best on the track.In the their prime drivers like Darrel Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt were not well liked and one of the reasons why is because they were beating guys like Petty and Pearson on a very regular basis.

Time will go on and the days will come when Jeff simply won't be winning anymore and then eventually he will retire.Maybe he'll be a team owner or maybe he'll be crew chief for some hot young driver like Evernham did for him.One thing is for sure when those days come they'll be no denying he was one of the greatest drivers in Nascar history.

Outside of the US F1 is almost as big as soccer.Europeans and Japanese go loony over it.

Those cars stick to a road course like nothing else.

But I digress,its Daytona 500 weekend and that's all I'm focused on!

Nice finish by that washed up Gay Gordon! No wonder his wife left him, f!@$^n 26th ? Wrecked Tony, NASCAR should send him back truck racing!

Make it idiot proof, and someone will make a better idiot.

SB that's too funny, I didnt get too watch the race but from reading a little on NASCAR.com it sounded like there was aggressive driving from more than one guy.

I enjoyed it and Clogston29's striper cakes. Loved Johnson's quote, "This ones for all the 48 team haters"

Yes I kind of agree. Go ahead and laugh at me but this is the first 500 since I have been into NASCAR that I didnt cry during the victory lap and victory lane interviews! Hey, its the big race, its emotional and I am a chick so I am allowed allright??!!! (hey tell me it doesnt put a little lump in your throat...)

Well coming from a fan (who yes loves Junior and yes has only been watching for about 6 years) I have to say it was a little on the boring side with the exception on when the 8 and 12 were side by side leading two different packs! those two are my main "boys" and I couldnt decide which to root for!!!!I almost peed my pants with anticipation!!! A little dissapointed the #6 didnt bring home the win as that would have been....well you know. . . sweet
too many guys I would have liked to see win that didnt even come close.....oh well there is the rest of the season to make up for it right?

Simplify.......

I watched the whole 200 laps, very boring, little racing, but better than the super bowl. ( I just don't like the 24 team, I also don't care for the Home Depot/ tony stewart show either. Though they are both on my fantasy team!) Anyone going to Bristol this year?
