Jeff Gordon did not have an affair with his crew chief, but he may have had an affair with model Deanna Merryman!\n\n"he engaged in an 11-month affair with model Deanna Merryman. \n\n"I have a lot of opinions on it," said Gordon of the two-page article. "But I don't think there's any reason for me to share them with anybody here." \n\nIn the article, Merryman details her relationship with the four-time Winston Cup champion, saying the two "used to talk on the phone for four or five hours a night" and that "Jeff became a wild man. He used to tell me all the time that he never had a chance to have fun." \n \nGordon's former wife, Brooke, filed for divorce in March 2002, citing the couple's seven-year marriage was "irretrievably broken as a result of the husband's marital misconduct." \n\nThe couple recently reached a settlement and the divorce was made final"

wether he was or was not is not what bothers me it is the fact that whenever there is a bump that he is involved in everone makes such a big deal about it.While someone else who bumps someone ,all they will say is THERE WAS SOME CONTACT BETWEEN..... but Tony always gets a bad rap whether it is accidental or payback.....I do not think any of those guys should be wrecking each other out of temper but realistically there are dirty drivers out there that get no attention for it while Tony is constantly in trouble.Gotta love him.Nascar fan who NEVER misses a race.

uhh like anyone who watches nascar has seen it. it was a hell of a lickin', but thanks to the safte features implemented after Big E he's okay. \ni blame this on another crew cheif screw up.. you should know that you need a good brake setup at that place.. good gravy. i hope monday morning meeting someone kicks his ass.. ugh, and i hope it's jeff.\nlaughing is just not cool people. sure it's fun to see your least favorite driver cut a tire and smash his front end and wreck the aerodynamics and lose a race..but to smack the wall that hard, b/c of a loss of breaks is just uncalled for. seriously, how can you have a hate for a man so much you have never met?? Good gravy.. i'm sure jeff doesn't sit there at night praying for your demise.. i mean, really, he hit that wall at almost 200 mph..hello, he smashed the safer barrier in.. do you know how hard of a hit that is?? i wann see you do that and still laugh, cuz two cents says it won't be so funny then.

well the new found hate for the 48 begins with his cheating crew chief. 0 use for knauss and his squirrley lookin' face.\n\nthen you go into his recent domination of the sport (everyone loves to hate the guy winning) look at everyone during their prime.. look at how much crap kenseth took after his cup win?? and of course the hate with gordon, smoke, and so on.. \n\nand with the domination he also gets postered as a golden boy through nascar.. i mean a few weeks ago when robby gordon was running good it became the robby gordon show, and people started hating him. for the longest time jimmie was just kind of one of those quiet competitors like mark martin. he did his thing, had success, but noone really talked about it. now that they talk about it more people hear the name..it's a viscous cycle.\n\nthen of course you got that jeff owns part of his car..\n\nand so on.. i don't think anyone really hates jimmie, but has to hate him for some reason when he's not their driver.. \ni know i like jimmie. but have to laugh at the 48 haters..and i'm a 24 girl and have to rip on my friend who is a 48 fan, and then he goes back with me and my 20  LOL.. it's all in good fun with some people, and then others have no life, or lack of a good driver

geesus mary mother of pearl. I'm so tired of this cheating thing.. \nlet's get something straight. the driver does not cheat. all they can do is drive the damn thing that the team puts together. rather they know what the CC does or not is between them and their team.  \nsecond, as for chad knauss's role in it.. all crew chiefs bend the rules as far as they can to make that car quicker. some go overboard and some get caught. that's what happened in february. sorry, but you have to give chad his props for trying to get his driver the best car possible. all of them do it, and a lot of them are like "man, why didn't i think of that" or "heck we should try that".. it's happened for years, and will continue to happen..and there will be plenty of teams who will get caught jumping the line too far. \n\njimmie has a great team, and he's a good enough driver to make that great car run ahead of the bunch. chad is a great crew chief. he's a little squirrely and i'm unsure of him, but i'll give him credit where it is due. he'll do anything for a win and to make his team great. he really puts the effort in. if you ever notice he's one of the most hands-on crew chiefs out there. quite honestly, i'd put him in almost the top 5 of current crew chiefs. there will never be another zippy, but that is besides the point. \nyou have a strong organization amongst the hendrick crew. most weeks you have 3 teams fighint for top positions. they've got the money to really put the research into what makes the cars better. with a bigger team you also benefit more under the new testing guidlines, and can swap info. team al that up with a pretty talented driver and you wil have a winning package..

rivalries..it's what helps the sport breed. everyone has their own reason for not liking a certain driver, and it's directed at those 3 and you are going to start seeing a lot of 48 haters too..why?? well b/c they are some of the most commercialized drivers out there. for some reason everyone has put jr and gordon as rivalries even though they have never had a run-in..jr has stepped in to the sport, in that sense, where his dad left off. they are two different types of drivers. the earnhardts are a little more agressive and jeff is a little more relaxed and laid back type.. \nas for tony, well he's had his temper issues that people don't like..but in the end everyone has to have a driver to hate..

Don't listen to the ignorant hate mongers. They are just the ones that SHOULDN'T be answering your question. \nRick Hendrick is a fine individual and a shrewd businessman. Yes he got into a little trouble a few years back but he has more than paid for his "crimes". And he also was courageously battling cancer during all of this. EVERYONE in Nascar will vouch for the man's character and his charity.\nThe reason "everyone" hates Jeff Gordon is because when he came into the sport he was YOUNG. In fact, Jeff began the youth movement that is currently pushing him aside. Hew was young, good looking, clean cut, expressed his faith, and he beat the doors off of Dale Earnhardt. The Neanderthal contingent of Nascar fans (the ones who throw beer bottles at anyone -except  Earnhardt I or II- who wins at Talledega) hate Jeff because he came into the sport and re-wrote the record books. He did it humbly, and professionally. He didn't have to run over the cars in front of him (like Dale Sr.) to get to the front. The hatred for Jeff is motivated primarily by envy. It's too bad. He's accused of having had everything given to him, yet he was blowing the doors off of guys twice his age in USAC before he ever got to Nascar. \nI'ts like a classic case of class envy. The people who hate Jeff are the same type who hates anyone who has ever accomplished more than they have, or acquired a nickel more than they've got. \nThey cheered when Jeff crashed at Pocono, for goodness sake! The Gordon haters represent the stereotype of Nascar fans: uneducated, and bitter, The lowest common denominator.

He isn't really a cheat, he just has a different set of rules then all the other drivers, he gets special treatment it seems. As much as i can't stand him, he is a good driver, but he needs to be brought down a notch!!!!

I get tired of hearing things like that about him.  Is that the only things your anti-gordon fans have to say about him.  At least you see Gordon with girlfriends, Dale, JR, he never has a girlfriend, except for once. It did not last long.  So do us Anti-JR fans go making comments about that!! NO

Crew chief Richard ``Slugger'' Labbe was suspended for four races and fined $25,000 on Tuesday for using an illegal part on Dale Jarrett's car at Richmond International Raceway. \n\nNASCAR officials discovered the sway bar on Jarrett's car was illegally mounted when the No. 88 Ford passed through Saturday night's pre-race inspection in Richmond.

Yes we are all NASCAR fans!! WOO HOO!! I like Brian Vickers (simply because he's a part of HENDRICK) and Jeff Gordon is my man. I respect everyone on that Hendrick team, so yes, I would have to say I like Brian Vickers. He doesn't really stand out in any way-kind of blends in...but he shows some potential. He needs to win some to gain popularity.  \n\n*24*

I follow nascar and motorsports in general and I have never heard any conspiracy theories surrounding Dale Sr's death. However, I have heard conspiracy theories about Aryton Senna's death in Formula 1. Wikipedia has some information on this and google, etc may give you some more info. I am interested in other non-racing related conspiracies and the ones surrounding Senna are vague at best. \nAn easy paper topic may be the Freemasons or Yale's Skull and Bones or the Council on Foreign Relations.  Wikipedia can give you a wealth of information on these in fractions of a second.
