NASCAR~ Robby Gordon fined........?
959120
I think they should have fined him just 25 driver points and 25 owner points. I do think that 50 points is a little harsh but he did the crime so he's gotta pay for it.\n\nHe blantaly cheated and when they interviewed him afterwards he acted as if he didn't even know what they were talking about. He did that to get the lucky dog and as a result he wound up with a top 10 finish that IMO he didn't deserve. He cost a Chase contender major points by doing that. Plus, another driver could have gotten hurt from him throwing that roll bar padding onto the track.\n\nRobby doesn't have the best reputation to begin with and he just added to it. \n\nAnd for those who say that Nascar doesn't punish Dale Jr...you need to stop lying. Nascar docked him points last year when he spun out to bring a caution, Jr flat out admitted that he did that. Then in 2004 they docked him points for cursing in Victory Lane!

Tony Stewart is my fave driver, always will be. Some of those haters here just love to get Tony fans p*ssed off, they get a kick out of it...but God forbid you bash their driver....\n\nI'd say the same if anyone here bashed my #2 fave driver, Carl Edwards...I wonder when people are gonna find some 'imperfection' with him and start bashing him!\n\nAs far as Tony being a 'whiner'....He's not! Want to know who the worst offender in Nextel Cup is, as far as whining...Robby Gordon!!!

We need to get a NASCAR section! There is a auto sports subheading under Autos. But I mainly look at Sports-other. It's hard to find folks like us who want to talk shop. Is there anyone we can petition?

OK- If i have to copy and paste this one more time.........\n\nI freaken hate when people say this. Here's the story STRAIGHT FROM JEFF GORDON:\n\nThis is a few paragraphs from 'JEFF GORDON: Racing Back to the Front-My Memoir' page 95(for those who are interested)\n\n"The more I won, the more fans I attracted, and the more people pulled against me. A lot of people loved that I was a young guy with a new team. Others might have thought I was destroying the fabric of the sport. This is when the first 'GORDON SUCKS' signs came out and the boo birds turned up again when I was introduced."\n\n"At some point during this time (I have no idea exactly when), anti-Gordon fans started passing around the rumor that I was gay. I can only guess that it had something to do with my driving a rainbow colored car. I also figure some folks took a joke Dale Earnhardt made during my rookie year out of context: I had been dating Brooke throughout the season, but because Winston employed her, we had to keep our relationship secret. After her stint as Miss Winston Cup ended, we came out at the banquet as a couple. Dale, being witty as ever, said, 'Whew, Im glad to see you've got a girlfriend. Some of us were beginning to wonder if you liked girls.' Of course, Dale and a lot of other drivers had known about Brooke for months, but they hadnt said anything out of respect for our privacy. Once we showed up in public together, Dale felt comfortable making a joke about it. I can only guess that a few folks took him seriously, and the rumors about my sexual orientation spread like wildfire."\n\n"The controversy(such that it was)never bothered me, but I was a bit puzzled by it. I'd like to think that if I were gay, I would be comfortable enough to say so and get on with my life. The fact is I'm not, and I never quite understood wh so many people wanted to believe otherwise."\n\nTHERE YOU GO PEOPLE...Get over it. He's not gay. So stop.

I love Jamie McMurray.  Is he a pretty boy?  I hadn't noticed!!  Come on, of course he's a pretty boy, but he's also a talented driver.  2003 Rookie of the year and missed the chase by a small margin in 2004 and 2005. He should benefit greatly from his team change and do well this year.

The next?  Robby Gordon is a class of his own, none.  To my knowledge Irvan never throw something on the track.

I went to the race in Martinsville just a couple of weeks ago, and to a certain extent, you are right. It used to be a very enjoyable experience. Now, it's kinda iffy. Way too many people are crammed into the little bleachers and the weather can be tricky in April. Since the NASCAR season goes almost all year long, there are some times when you fry at a racetrack and there are some times when you throw snowballs at each other. I go to see the speed and smell the exhaust. Two things that the TV cameras cannot bring into my home. I have always said that alcohol should be banned inside gates, but that may never happen because of the promotion of beers on the track. However certain tracks (like Charlotte) have a section of grandstands that are "family friendly"; no smoking or drinking in those areas. You may want to look into those next time.

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.

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..

Yes. With the "Race to the Cup" for the top ten for one thing. When one position in points can mean hundreds of thousands of $, I feel sorry for the guy in eleventh place. Under the old rule 11Th place could possibly move up a couple of spots to 8Th or 9Th, maybe. And what are all these penalties for "non-approved" parts. These parts aren't illegal, just not from a supplier that has sucked up (payed off?) to NASCAR. Used to be you could run any part that conformed with the rules. It didn't matter if you built it yourself or bought it. And these young drivers, used to be that a driver had a few years of experience before moving up to NASCAR's big league. These new drivers are good, but inexperienced. And the new drivers all seem to fit the cookie cutter corporate image. They are good looking and articulate. A short guy like Cale Yarbourgh, or a driver that spoke like his mouth was full of marbles like Buddy Baker, or an ex-convict like Junior Johnson, wouldn't make it in today's corporate racing world. I think NASCAR should stop being such a glamor sport and go back to basics, go fast, turn left, and may the best driver/car win. I'm curious as to how many of these race fans are really fans. A lot of these people only watch racing on the TV or maybe attend a couple of NASCAR races a year. How many go to their local short track? Almost everyone in the contiental U.S. is within an hour's drive to a local track. These tracks offer about 4 hours or more of entertainment for under $15 on most nights. Whether the track is paved or dirt, running late models, open wheeled sprint cars or modifieds, you will probaly see some exciting racing. As I said before, let's get back to basics.

The speed limit down pit road (not totally just put the commit line back farther) my poor boy Robby G. keeps gettin screwed by that rule!!!!!  I would also change it to limit the number of cars per team, those Roush buttheads win just cause they have more time on the track and can pool their findings, totally not fair for single or two car teams!!!!!

No, he's not as bad as say Gordon or Johnson, the two biggest whiners the sport has ever seen.  Plus if you weren't going to kick Stewart out for the things he pulled early in his NASCAR career, you sure aren't going to kick Busch out.

Jeff Gordon is having problems getting his car into the right shape. He eitiher breaks pistons and blows gaskets, or vital structural damage occurs. Without a decent racecar it dosent matter who is driving. Although I am not a fan, He is a good driver and it shows when his car is running well.
