Question Dupont, and I want an honest answer... If your boy is such a damn good driver(and he is good I'll admit it), then why couldn't he overcome what steve did(if it was steve that did it)? Are you absolutely sure that his car just didn't go away from him? Maybe the car just went south and he just doesn't have it anymore( and before you say it, I know, you think DJ's career is over, but you forget one thing. He is switching from a team that is in turmoil right now to a new team. Everyone was thinking Jeff Burton's career was over, then he switched to Childress and wow, he's making his case again.)

I think the main subject is that jeff didn;t the way was passed, evan though his has used the same method in the past, and riggs might have been a little cockey but I don't blame him you have too grab the spot light when you can, specailly when you don;t noemally run up front.


I also think jeff was really more likely saying "hey mann good run but don't try to wreck me next time" and then scott was like "hey screw you I coulda wrecked but I didn't"

I think riggs just took it the wrong way"

Well, Jeffs car became really tight after he got hit by Lepage. He lef 49 laps and was in the top 3 or 4 the entire race. There were a couple of situations that kept us from VL, one Steve not freeing the car much and 2 Mark Martin and Lepage got into us making the car aero tight, but something that could have been fixed and wasn't. Remember, Steve is a new crew cheif and he has done a excellent job. Jeffs has been great at all types of tracks this year, and based on how Jeff did at Michigan (cutting 5 secs. on Kenseths lead and passing 12 cars to finish 2nd in a 30 lap span) he'll be back to the same ol Jeff Gordon

Thank You.

If, like you said, Riggs was faster he should have been able to pass without bumping in a corner. That is what Jeff was referring to. Try listening to what is actually said instead of letting your personal dislike for a driver interpret what you hear! Send that 24 car around!!!

[24hendrick48]

Gordon taking a lesson from Riggs??? Now that's funny!!!

[24hendrick48]

It's OK for Dale Earnhardt to spin someone, but not Jeff Gordon! Earnhardt spun more people than Gordon ever thought about!!! I'll bet you never thought anything of it when he did!!! Talk about double standards!!! If he hadn't been acting the fool at Daytona (swooping down in front of race traffic, slowing down to block for the 8 and 15) he'd probably still be here today!!!

Exactly! Sr. did it and it was ok. But Jeff Gordon does the same thing and he's a jerk.

No, it's not right for Gordon to Spin someone after complaining about someone spinning him. If he gets spun, he will whine and cry like it's the worst thing and expects fines and sanctions, but when he spins someone it is perfectly exceptable to him. That's the double standard. Big E is a whole nother story. As for his death there was a lot of things that if they hadn't of happened he would probably still be around racing. Yes he was blocking, but, it was pack racing that caused his wreck.

Exactly Quality! If someone turned Earnhardt, he would say "that's racin" and move on, instead of crying about it to anyone that would listen. Quality is also correct stating Earnhardts death was caused by pack racing, not because he was "acting the fool ".

Nah..Jeff is a jerk regardless.

[Dupont4five]

Everyone crashes everyone, everyone complains and b*tches about getting spun. Its part of racing and if fans complain because drivers complain, then get out

[N2Oxide]

Well, when you need to make up an excuse every time you don't take the win... Whatever, I don't feel like explaining. Everyone complains, but some people push the limit. Like Gordoon.
