...the best Nascar driver name ever, or hell-best name ever in all of human history remains....Dick Trickle...
Without a doubt. Best name for anything, anywhere.
Wow. Interesting day in Texas. Brad Keselowski rammed Jeff Gordon's car, cutting his tire down, spinning him out and maybe costing him this year's championship. After the race, Jeff expressed his displeasure.
The fight's getting more attention than the race.
Jeff did a lot of things wrong today. During that last restart, he should have chosen to restart on the inside rather than the outside. That was huge. And this fight isn't going to bode well for him. After the smoke cleared (literally), Jeff's still in the top four (barely) and an outside chance at the championship with only two races left in the season. That's fine and dandy, if Nascar doesn't knock off points for the fight or ban him from racing next week. If either of those happens, the Drive for Five (Jeff's fifth championship) is over.
I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing in his place, and I'll be honest. I'm glad Jeff did it. Keselowski is a jerk for ramming him. These aren't bumper cars. He had a butt-whooping coming and I'm glad he got it. But it was a bone-headed thing to do. I hope it doesn't cost Jeff the year.

Keselowski has had that coming all season. He has a lot of the other drivers mad at him, and with good reason. He's a jerk.
I was glad Gordon opened up the can of whoopass.....I hope NASCAR stays out of it. I think other drivers could be planning a payback for Keselowski if it looks like he might make it to the final race.
If you watch the video, the fight wouldn't have happened if Kevin Harvick hadn't given Keselowski a shove into Jeff's reach. Keselowski was being careful to stay outside Jeff's reach, backing away like a coward, until Kevin gave him a push from behind. Jeff got hold of Keselowski's fire suit, and that's all she wrote. Thanks Kevin!
Keselowksi has had it coming all season, and I'm glad Jeff's the one that gave it to him.
They are turning into a bunch of Hockey players.
(not that there is anything wrong with that)

That's very true. There have been a lot of brawls lately. It's generally uncharacteristic for Jeff, though. A lot of folks were happy to see that he had it in him.
Not that I'm condoning violence or anything...
I liked how they showed back in the pits other teams watching. I'd like to see more of their reaction to it.
#3 would've just banged their heads together and said settle it on the track.....
I thought it was funny that Gordon called Keselowski a dipsh*t on tv.....
He struggled not to call him worse. LOL!
I'm sure there will be fines handed down for that little scuffle. I'm just interested to see if there are any other penalties.
I know!..LOL
It was just so out of character for Jeff Gordon, and so fitting at the same time. I know there will be fines, but personally, I think the man deserves a bonus!
Totally agree. Now I can't wait to see what happens next week.I know!..LOL

Crew members and chiefs were suspended on both sides of the Gordon/Keselowski fracas, but neither driver was suspended or docked.

Well. There might not be any more irritating Nascar posts from me. I know. Promises, promises.
But Newman, who has no wins this year, wrecked Kyle Larson on purpose on the last lap today, knocking Jeff Gordon, who has 4 wins this year, raced clean and earned the spot, out of the Chase on points. In the last 3 seconds of the race.
If Nascar doesn't review that intentional wreck and dock Newman out of the Chase, I'm done with Nascar.
