Jeff Gordon is a SIX time Winston Cup champion and is one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. He won two more championships under the Chase, with the old rules (the REAL NASCAR points system). To say Jeff Gordon sucks is completely ignorant, and it is quite obvious that people don't know their NASCAR.
I have been a Burton fan for 14 years... I personally wish he would have fought back but glad he didn't. He's an honest man and will own up to his mistakes unlike Gordon. I know I've seen interviews like that with Gordon the one apologizing for messing up. So he can get ovcer it.Love the emotions and I was just saying that I missed Earnhardt Sr and all the trouble he used to cause. He'd get out of that car, flash that grin and all would be well. I think he was smiling down on that little scene.
I totally agree with you. 2010 wasn't a good year for Jeff and i was so excited to see him stand up for himself after taking shit from other drivers and his teammate Jimmie Johnson
I have the upmost respect for both Jeff Burton and Jeff Gordon, but I think Burton has to take the prize for biggest line of bs uttered on tv. I mean he couldn't get his story straight on that snippet of radio they played. But like I said, I respect them both and still think Burton is one of the best out there for just taking the blame like he should. And as a Gordon fan, I applaud him for making this his only scuffle with Burton from then on to now. I probably would have wrecked him as payback
@MrElculver2424 Absolutely, I've been one of the very few who's liked Gordon the past decade and a half, I have dealt with Gordon haters since '98...in school. But what do you expect when you live in Earnhardt country like I do.
@JeffGordonFan2420 Yeah. I don't know whether he meant to completely dump both Gordon and himself, but he definitely stepped on the gas and bumped Gordon. I usually have a lot of respect for Jeff Burton but I have no idea why he had to do that there......
finally a cup driver shows some emotion after getting wrecked. burton has run over 3 or 4 cars this year and even pissed off his teammates and all burton can say is "what'd i do wrong" or "sorry about that, my bad". burton and johnson both act like they dont drive dirty but if you pay attention to the little things, they're both very dirty, but dont USUALLY do anything stupid.
@NefariousStorm I have to disagree slightly. He's just mad because he ended up wrecking himself too. I could tell in his interview, he was stubbing on what to say...."Oh, it's hard to see over there...the sun got in my eyes and we just hooked and......off we went." I'm not quite buying that. Even the guys on NASCAR.com don't by it....go watch the post-race show with Beau Esties Mike Bell. I like Burton but he gets mad quickly...he got mad at Harvick at Martinsville on the radio.
@NefariousStorm, this isn't the same scenario though the 2-car drafting has been subject to various accidents and Burton said it wasn't Dale Jr.'s fault, check the big one at Daytona this year Waltrip turned Reutimann accidentally and Reutimann said it wasn't his fault, even in practice and in the Bud Shootout. By the way who cares if it was an accident or not the fact of the matter is that Burton made poor judgment and took two cars out of the race. Burton is a clean driver though.
@TheMagicalLemon01 Technically, you're right. He has won four championships. However, since the Chase was implemented, Gordon would have won two more if the rules hadn't changed. Personally, I think NASCAR is about consistency and the onld points system was better.
@TheMagicalLemon01 He doesn't suck, he's just not as dominant as he was when he was younger. He's older now - every driver falls off at the end of their careers. Look at Jeff Burton - he's no good anymore either. But neither driver "sucks", they're just not as good as they used to be.
@JeffGordonFan2420 i totally agree with you ...i know i probably dont seem like a nascar fan but my family is totally into and we are hardcore gordon fans ......so we were not happy about this .....
You don't have to like him, but you should respect him. People call him a whiner--it's called passion. People call him gay--is that really all you can come up with? Wow. Dale Earnhardt Sr. once told Gordon that when people hate you, you know you're good. As for this incident, what Burton did was uncalled for and deliberate. As Burton said, Gordon had every right do do what he did. This was 100% Burton's fault.
I was in sock when I seen Burton get into Jeff Gordon like that. I have watched and watched the video and it does not look like an accident to me. Everyone will have their own thoughts of this. Burton should be happy that Gordon had a long walk to cool down some... Oh by the way I have never really like Gordon, but I am on his side with this one...
Best documentary of the incident! Amazing how NASCAR allowed Gordon to leave his car & ambulance and walk clear across the track to kick some Burton ass! Yeah, that's right- NASCAR ALLOWED it! You might even say they encouraged it. What did they really think Gordon was marching over there for, a tea party? HAHA!
@TheMagicalLemon01 No, he is a 6-time champion. And he has earned all 6 of them. They may not be in the record books like that, but everyone knows Gordon has 6 titles.
@NefariousStorm And this was under caution, flat out ridiculous, and totally destroyed Gordon's car. Gordon had every right to be upset and what he did was absolutely fine, even Burton said so. And if Gordon had been in contention for the title, Burton probably would have been bloody. I would have been pissed too to get wrecked under caution...it was pathetic.
This is kinda funny because those are my two favorites. I like Gordon as a driver but I like Burton because I like Caterpillar. At least Burton knew he screwed up and said so.
I don't think so. If you were to look at the medics after they broke up the scuffle you'll see that Burton had his hands up to his chest. And when someone's body language does that either they're making some sort of smart comment or just trying to talk and play self defense at the same time
From what I can see, Burton has accepteed it's his fault and he is genuinly sorry, lets just hope Gordon sees this before next weekend. These 2 are great rces and, although entertaining, its sad to see this happens

now im a harvic fan and all and i used to like gordon and all and normally i would be laughing over this but im not, i like the whole "have at it" rule but i still want to see a somewhat clean race and that was not clean at all, burton did that on purpose. dont let him fool you with the whole "i didnt mean to" bull. he should have gotten his butt kicked and he would have to. so to burton, hope you know that in that move you have lost a lot of peoples respect and im sure you gained a few rivals!
@TheMagicalLemon01 6th in points doesn't suck. You need to do your research some more. Kyle Busch is 7th in the points....does he suck? Tony Stewart is in 8th....does he suck? No. You're crazy.
I enjoy watching nascar,but i do not belive there is a driver that can fight lol.I would love to see a fight between horse jockeys and nascar drivers!!!Thats what i call entertainment!!!
Jeff Gordon may stand 5ft6in tall, weigh 150 lbs, and drive a rainbow colored car, but if you put him in the wall, he will kick your ass!
I have respect for both of the drivers here and I'm glad Burton admitted to his mistake
Rare in these times
Honesty

Thanks for posting!
"He turned left and i turned left", you guys are always turning left lol
Three lefts make a right.

I like to see Jeff show the passion at his age, he still got it!!!!!!!
I WILL ALWAYS BE A JEFF GORDON FAN HES THE GREATEST DRIVER

@bamachick785 It was under caution, how is that racing?
@JeffGordonFan2420 Yeah. I don't know whether he meant to completely dump both Gordon and himself, but he definitely stepped on the gas and bumped Gordon. I usually have a lot of respect for Jeff Burton but I have no idea why he had to do that there......

That's for every one in NASCAR to let them know Jeff Gordon not going to b playing around next

two years later Jeff Gordon fights Clint Bowyer

How does he have 6 doesn’t he have 4

And if Gordon had been in contention for the title, Burton probably would have been bloody. I would have been pissed too to get wrecked under caution...it was pathetic.
When I saw this on tv,I was completely shocked.But that's part of racing that's all I got to say.
This is kinda funny because those are my two favorites. I like Gordon as a driver but I like Burton because I like Caterpillar. At least Burton knew he screwed up and said so.
Gordon had the right to be pissed, but he could have been a little leniant, Burton said sorry.
I am a Gordon fan.
I don't think so. If you were to look at the medics after they broke up the scuffle you'll see that Burton had his hands up to his chest. And when someone's body language does that either they're making some sort of smart comment or just trying to talk and play self defense at the same time
the battle of the century
you had to have seen this coming someday. lol they are cheering in the background
same thing happened yesterday at phoenix
From what I can see, Burton has accepteed it's his fault and he is genuinly sorry, lets just hope Gordon sees this before next weekend. These 2 are great rces and, although entertaining, its sad to see this happens
GO JEFF !! Yes. Both Jeff's :)
Good thing the safer barrier was there
@mrswesty You're welcome!
man i wish i was poor and stupid to be a nascar driver
@MrElculver2424 Thats because of the freaking NASCAR "changes"
Fair play to burton for holding his hands up to his mistake
Good thing that the officials had helmets on lol
Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton... I think Jeff Gordon's First name is better than Burton's.
105.3 the fan in dallas tx sent me here
Gordon slapped up the Mayor! Lmfao!

@MrElculver2424 He's not as good as he once was.....but hes as good once, as he ever was....haha
If you got hooked head on into a wall you would be in a bad mood too.
now im a harvic fan and all and i used to like gordon and all and normally i would be laughing over this but im not, i like the whole "have at it" rule but i still want to see a somewhat clean race and that was not clean at all, burton did that on purpose. dont let him fool you with the whole "i didnt mean to" bull. he should have gotten his butt kicked and he would have to. so to burton, hope you know that in that move you have lost a lot of peoples respect and im sure you gained a few rivals!
@Lithiumaniacs the mayor?
Well said, my friend. :)
at least jeff had his helmet off this time. lol
Go drive these cars 190 mph into these corners you'll be turning right just as much as left. :p Not a single car out there handles perfectly.
I was at that race
Gordon now sucks. He always seems to get wrecked. And never has good setups, like the 18, 11, 48, etc.
Wooo! i was there!! And no, i do NOT like Dale Earnhardt Jr.
@TheMagicalLemon01 6th in points doesn't suck. You need to do your research some more. Kyle Busch is 7th in the points....does he suck? Tony Stewart is in 8th....does he suck? No. You're crazy.
@Sqwee130 Great comment! Should be featured for everyone to see! The Gordon haters are losers....yes....ALL OF THEM.
I enjoy watching nascar,but i do not belive there is a driver that can fight lol.I would love to see a fight between horse jockeys and nascar drivers!!!Thats what i call entertainment!!!
