If only this could have been yesterday's result.Normally, Martinsville Speedway is owned by Jeff Gordon during the NASCAR season. He wins there as often as Paris Hilton catches an STD. Yesterday, Gordon started eighth, worked his way up to the front, then cut a tire on lap 89. This is usually a cause for concern amongst Nextel Cup drivers, but Gordon found his way to the front of the pack yet again when a caution came out with seven laps to go. At the restart, Gordon was second behind Tony “Jackass” Stewart, and when the green flag flew, the DuPont Chevy spun wheels, and Stewart pulled away.
Stewart got the win, but it was a banner day for Gordon and his Hendrick Motorsports teammates. Gordon finished second, Jimmie Johnson finished third, and Kyle Busch finished fifth.
Not to be outdone, Dale Earnhardt, Jr was involved in a wreck on the first lap, busted his hump getting to the front, and finally finished fourth. He is truly his father’s son.
I'm pissed because I could have used Kyle Busch as a driver on my fantasy team, but took a (no-longer) streaking Kasey Kahne instead. Either way, I had Tony, Jr, Kahne, and I think J.J. Yeley, and gained 8% points in the standings (25k spots)...and of course as a junior fan, this is my favorite jeff Gordon finish...
ReplyDeleteTony will get his someday...karma's a beyotch.
ReplyDeleteGOP & College - I have two teams in my friend's ofice pool (with a pot of $900); Gordon and J. Johnson as well as Junior and Newman. So far, so good.
ReplyDeleteJunior's got his stuff together this year, it seems.
