Re: "Wild Thing" more like "Jaws" than "Intimidator"

I would agree with both of you.

No one wants to start that arguement becase then that forces you like it or not to talk about jeff gordon. when you start talking about gordon with some of the legends of the past, people get really bent out of shape.

I wonder why Gordo never won "Most Popular Driver"? He's won just about everything else!

Oops, sorry .. off topic!

If it wasn't for junior, he would win in a landslide.

I doubt it. Considerin Bill Elliot held it for many years before Jr took over. Gordon is not that well liked.

Re: "Wild Thing" more like "Jaws" than "Intimidator"

yeah, but gordon is much more popular now than he was back then. I believe you can find the results of last years vote. they will usually give the top 10 vote getters.

Re: "Wild Thing" more like "Jaws" than "Intimidator"

The top 10 for 2007 goes like this:
  1. Dale Earnhardt Jr.
  2. Jeff Gordon
  3. Michael Waltrip
  4. Kasey Kahne
  5. Tony Stewart
  6. Kevin Harvick
  7. Matt Kenseth
  8. Jimmie Johnson
  9. Elliott Sadler
  10. Dale Jarrett.
I couldn't find anything that gave vote totals.

One interesting thing about the 2007 vote is DEJ's win moved him into the rarified atmosphere of drivers who have won 5 consecutive MPD awards. Only 2 others have accomplished that feat: Richard Petty and Bill Elliott.

It'll be interesting to see how the 2008 vote comes out and whether Shrub makes the top 10.

Some people love him, some people hate him, but he's one heck of a talent behind the wheel of a car, no doubting that.

He doesn't seem to be the type to crack under pressure, at least, not from what I've seen. We'll see, though.

I'm wondering what Kyle Busch did to you to elicit such a strong feeling? Personally what he does affect neither I or my family in any way, positive or negative. I reserve the emotion of "Hate" for those who wish me bodily harm, or try and take things from me.

The Brothers Busch, Junior, Smoke, Jeffie-Pooh or even The Felon himself, have NEVER attempted to do any of those things to me.

I may "like," or "dislike" them to one degree or another but "Hate?" Wow. That's strong!

I think he's already under a good bit of pressure. He hasn't cracked yet, if anything he seems to be doing better.
