Gordon wins!!! Finally! And ICEYOU couldn't have been banned at a worse time!

That would be his alternate account. Unfortunately, there's nothing in the AUP as far as I can tell that can get him banned for being annoying.
 
Wow... 5-time makes a error and takes out Kenseth and Hamlin. Unreal. Then, Jeff Gordon wins the race in a severe thunderstorm. Crazy.
 
The Tricky Triangle is about to blow your mind today. Yours and... about, uh... 43 other stock car drivers..

I have to say, it turns out you were actually right (even if it wasn't the way you envisioned it) :)

Gordon got a win (with an assist by mother nature) and is now in a wild card spot.

And some of you guys gave up on the #24. :rolleyes:

I kept going back-and-forth about if he would make the chase or not. Now I think that he can (for real this time).

Weeks ago it was apparent that he wasn't going to make it, but I noticed over the last few weeks he had been steadily moving up the points and figured that if he could get a win, he'd have a good shot at possibly getting that second wildcard spot. That perfect storm happened today. Kyle has problems early in the race that set him back, then that final restart where the top 4 take themselves all out put Jeff exactly where he needed to be. Now he's got the win he needed and being tied with Newman puts him into the chase as of today because he has more 5th place finishes compared to Newman.

He needed at least 1 win for sure.

If you go back though this thread, some here have been counting out JG for weeks now, some even going as far as saying he should hang up his helmet.

Now that he has the win, he's in great shape to make the chase. As for his wild card competition, Newman hasn't been all that good lately. The 18 & 20 have been inconsistent, while Gordon seems to have shaken his bad luck at the right time, clicking off top 10' and top 5's and now a win.
 
Great win for Gordon, he deserved to catch a break after the luck he’s had this season.

I’m looking forward to Watkins Glen, it’s fun to watch the Nationwide and Cup cars on a road course.
 
I thought the retiring thing was a bit outlandish. All Jeff needs to do is keep his momentum going for the next 5 weeks and he'll be in the chase easily.

Of course, another win would just seal the deal for him.
 
A lot of people say that Gordon's next best chance at winning is Watkins Glen and Richmond. I agree. One more win and Gordon is pretty much locked in.

P.S.: Gordon is good for at least the next 5 years.
 
I was basically trying to hype up the Pocono race. For most people, it's NASCAR- what's there to hype up? Isn't is strange that Jeff Gordon has had so much BAD luck... to where Jeff Gordon would win in a rain-shortened race. Jeff Gordon likely wouldn't want to win this way, but a win is a win. Almost like divine intervention played a little role in helping the #24 finish P1.

What concerned me about this event was the report of fans struck by lightning. My best wishes and prayers go out to the fans struck by lightning. Mother Nature won this race. However, I am wishing those fans well after a most horrific temper tantrum from Mother Nature.


Bring on Watkins Glen! Road race them suckers!

Gordon can win at any of the remaining tracks before the chase. While no win is guaranteed, he has a decent shot at winning at least another race, but it all depends on how the racing pans out.
 
No, standing in a parking lot. Actually its 9 injured, 1 dead. Terrible news.
