SuperMn106 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? I just tried looking for transcripts of jeff sayin that but i can not find it. Maybe i was wrong, maybe i was just hearing things but i coulda swore i heard him say he bumped kenseth. I just might have been looking for another excuse to dislike gordon lol. i apologize.

Gator Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? I just hope that Gordon get's fined for pushing Kenseth like he did after the race. And for whoever said Gordon had his helmet on cause he just got out of a car, Kenseth had just got out to, but he had his helmet off, hmmm, think Jeffypooh didn't wanna hurt his wittle face!!

deerslayer06 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? Ahhh I really enjoyed that race. Bristol at its finest! Kenseth had a good one, I think he could have won it if it werent for DJ taking his sweet time. Atleast Kenseth admitted he was in the wrong, something Gordon never does. Go 17!

VermontHunter Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? [ QUOTE ] something Gordon never does. [/ QUOTE ] Now I was trying to be nice and only state that facts about racing in Bristol.... But deerslayer06, you need to stick to the facts yourself, that statement is about as far from the truth as you can get.... Gordon is usually the first to admitt to a bonehead move,,,, His actions when got out of his car were uncalled for and out of character,, but if you want to really boil it down Matt was a 5th, place car at best... So lets just stick to the facts of the race, Matt did what he needed to do, and Jeff got the short end of it, and that's that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

str8shooter48 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? Was that really Gordon under that helmet? The boys finally showing he's got some balls. Must be hanging with Tony too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? [ QUOTE ] I wouldn't have cared if it wasn't the last lap. [/ QUOTE ] Ok. First off, the announcers said Gordon had bumped Kenseth up out of the way for position. Second, Kenseth did not intentionally spin Gordon. And it doesn't matter whether it was lap 1 or 499 poeple bumped people out of the way for position the whole race. Did you not watch it? Kenseth got bumped by Busch when he would've won! Is anybody complainning??? NO! kenseth apologized to Gordon, they will work it out, did Jeff have a right to be PO, yeah, but so did Kenseth. It is just racing at Bristol, been that way forever, I am a Kenseth fan and was very angry when he got knocked up the track by Busch but hey that is Bristol. Get over it.

SuperMn106 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? About the Gordon helmet deal, every time i seen a driver after the race he takes hit helmet off inside the car. Why didnt gordon do that? did he know he was gonna go get into an altercation with kenseth and keep it on for safety? who knows. but my point is drivers take their helmets off inside the car from what i have seen.

VermontHunter Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? Gordons helment is strapped to his harness, and not to the head rest.. I don't think it was the intention of either driver to fight,,, the shove just happened.... and it shouldn't have. After he calmed down for the interview you could tell, he knew he made a mistake, and Im sure he and Matt will be having a talk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? Gordon wanted to get a hold of kenseth right away. He wasn't going to waste time taking his helmet off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMn106 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? wow i just heard on espn that nascar officials are saying suspending gordon is unlikely. hmm can someone say golden child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? Ok not to bring up old stuff here or anything but if gordon gets fines and points out of this for pushing Matt Kenseth, no big deal really nobody was going to get hurt. Where are Tony Stewart fines for "shoving" Kenseth doing 190 at Daytona, when things could have been serious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMn106 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? Nobody was gonna get hurt? kenseth coulda fell backwards and hit his head on something. gordon did shove him pretty hard. Gordon should be suspended one race. Jimmy Spencer was sat down a week. granted spencer threw a punch but both was physical contact. Tony Stewart needs to be disclipined too, he crashes someone on purpose, you should not be able to get away with stiff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? someone really bumped thier head if they actually thought Gordon was going to get suspended for that little shoving match.... come on folks it was Bristol.... This kind of stuff has happened there before most of us were born..... You watch and see Sunday at Martinsville, I bet Matt and Jeff had a long talk and are cool with each other...

punkinslinger Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? [ QUOTE ] I agree chrud, Gordon admitted he bumped Kenseth to get past him. What about the Shove Gordon have Kenseth after the race? Penalty there? Fine? I thought it was funny he still had his helmet on when he did it. [/ QUOTE ] That's funny cause I didn't see him move Kenseth??? Funny also that Kenseth said Gordon passed him clean?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? [ QUOTE ] Gordon hit Wallace a few years ago. A year or so ago he took out Busch at Martinsville. Gordon has done what Kenseth did to him several times. What is there to complain about? [/ QUOTE ] There's a big difference in giving someone a little tap and moving them up the race track to get by for the win versus completely spinning someone out. That's the difference.

slugshooter Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? Jeff won't get suspended for a shove because noone has ever been suspended for a shove. I don't care who you are, NASCAR may give him, and I stress may, give him a fine, but they can't justify a suspension for a push. Now, if he had pushed him down, jumped on top and started wailing on him, thats a different story altogether. The only ones who want to see Jeff get suspended for a push hate him anyway and will cry favoritism, but if Jeff gets a suspension for a push, then Stewart needs to sit out the rest of the year for the crap he's pulled out there this year.

SuperMn106 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? The suspension needs to be one race. Jimmy Spencer reached in the car and smacked someone (i think kurt bush) what is the difference? Just becasue you are a great driver and 4 time champ does not excuse you to do that. "Actions detrimental to stock car racing" fine and hopefully suspension. Nascar need to be more consistent with the calls. Punk, Watch and Nascar show and you will see the Gordon interview. Why would he say he hit him when he didnt? If you watch the replay Gordon gives the "Bristol Bump". am i mad at the bump? nope just racing. Did Kenseth screw up? yep and he admitted it.

SuperMn106 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? Slug-- They have punished stewart at daytona for rough driving. If gordon gets nothing out of this crap will hit the fan. I dont want to go back in time but JR gets fine and points for swearing. Gordon shoves someone and could get away with it? To me shoving, hitting or any aggressive physical contact is far worse than cussing. There should be fine and suspension if not suspension take some points away. Some people may say, no points because it was not during the race, well revert back to JR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
