Jeff Gordon
 

Just saw a live interview with Gordon on espn. He says in his opinion if you want good exciting nascar they should run heat races, invert the start and run 50 lap races. Then racing he says would be fun again. :31: sounds like he miss's the real racing.

I have been saying this for YEARS!

I have been saying this for YEARS! To Me it isnt just a nascar problem. :29:
other series are stuck in that same mode! IMHO keep it up and the crowds will dwindle just like in the indy cars

Re: Jeff Gordon
 

It was a interesting interview, he spoke what was on his mind. He also stated that tradition is fine but that 500 mile races arnt the most intertaining, or fun to drive and that maybe it was time tradition be broken. You could tell by his body language he just wishes he could be in a car where you mash the throttle and race, not worried about tires, fuel or pit stops. Not to mention someone talking to you when your trying to race. I'd hate that, when I'm racing it's the only time I'm totally free the last thing I want is someone talking to me.

Loosen the **** cars up, get the nose off the track,they're way too aero dependent....Jmo

Oh kinda like a winged sprint car uh!.....

nothing else why spend 1 whole day with practice...10 hot laps Qualify and go race...most all the drivers are saying the cars are race ready and only need a few laps just to shake the car down....isn't that the only reason for "hotlaps/practice"

Re: Jeff Gordon
 

"Oh kinda like a winged sprint car uh".... blah blah blah......
here we go again....:deadhorse:

If Jeff Gordon wants the heat races and 50 lap feature he can always hop is butt back in a sprint car like Stewart and Kahne. These two guys, especially Stewart, love to race and arent just in it for the money and fame.

Re: Jeff Gordon
 

Maybe Jeff is in it so he can donate MILLIONS of $ to children's hospitals. Get a little perspective would ya?

Like they say. "You can take the driver out of the dirt, but you cain't take the dirt out of the driver" once you done it in the dirt nothing else compairs. Bet the way his contract reads he would have to come up with a "trick" nick name or buy his own team to do it.


Honest Dad himself:6::6:

Re: Jeff Gordon
 

Yeah, theres things they cant do. One of the best if not best nascar drivers, who grew up racing sprintcars in Indy wanted to try riding speedway a few years back after seeing a race in N. Carolina. Couldnt because of his contract. I bet he would just Smoke the track too. I'm pretty sure he owns his own teams now, if he see's this and wants to take a few laps on a Speedwaybike, PM me lets go :8:

Pretty boy gordon turned his back on his roots of sprint car racing. He said its not a money making deal. Hes a trader.

I take it you are losing money with everything you are involved in and dont mind. I cant blame him. He is far from the only guy to move on and not come back. Hell you should be pissed at AJ and Mario for not having sprint car teams running in USAC today. Let it go buddy. Dont be a hater you had your chance 20 years ago to watch him. I too wish he would have a team but it is his money and his choice.

Aj has owned sprint car and silver crown teams and even drove them after winning indy. Get your facts straight buddy!

Re: Jeff Gordon
 

It would be nice to see him in a sprintcar again and own a team. Cant condemn a guy for not. What alot of people dont figure in is the pressure of keeping your team gainfully employed. Once you get into a top racing series theres alot of people depending on you for they're paychecks. One wonders how many people rely on him or someone like Stewart , to keep them in a job. You get in Nascar for one or more of these reasons: fame, fortune or running in the top series. If he was in it for fun he would have stuck with sprintcars in California.

Re: Jeff Gordon
 

And why dont he now?

Re: Jeff Gordon
 

And probably the same reason Jeff doesnt.

Just cuz Smoke and Kahne own sprint cars dont mean they all need to.

Theres plenty of things he could do to help. He wont even show up to a race. And hes to scared to get behind the wheel.

Re: Jeff Gordon
 

You win you are right. He probably is scared. Raced a sprint car at 13, won Daytona three times, brickyard 4 times and has 80 some sprint cup series wins running scared. Give me a break. Dont be a hater! Like I said earlier I wish he was involved but not going to hate him because he isnt.

Re: Jeff Gordon
 

Well lets see--maybe when he has time off, he wants to be with his sexy, super model wife and his kid?

There is no excuse for turning your back on your roots, or forgetting where you came from
