dogdoc Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 how did jr get passed with 3 laps to go and would someone explain what the caution flag was for with only 3 laps to go?---Believe it or not this was the first nascar race I have ever watched.

lil hunter Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 I didn't want him to win, but oh well. I was hopin for Jr., but he just wasn't runnin all that great today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherguy Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 Well i must say he ran a good race. I had given junior up as a non-contender then in a few minutes suddenly he was leading. Would have been great if he could have held on, but i think either stewart or gordon deserved that win.

Guest Finn Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 ABG.....anybody but Gordon. He ran a good race and definately had the best car. Stewart and Jr just didn't have it at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 Congrats to Gordon. He wasn't the dominant car, but did what he had to at the end. Kahne's caution at the end really hurt. I would have rather seen it go green the rest of the way. It would have been 8 and 24 at the end then for sure...48 pushin' the 24 and 20 pushin' the 8. I was impressed most with Junior's and Jarrett's rebound and also Scott Riggs. The race was really boring until the last few laps. I was surprised Gordon and Johnson didn't work so well towards the end. I think the wicker package would be a better package for the Cup cars too, that would help with the follow the leader at the front for 90% of the race. Congrats again to Gordon, he did good at the end. The best part....RARELY does the 500 winner win the Championship. I think it's going to be a good year!

Nick Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 yippee Why does Johnson gotta be such a freekin whiner though? " I dunno what Tonys problem was, i tried to block him and he tried putting me into the wall, waa waa!!" THATS RACIN JIMMY, Just be glad you finished the race!! Then he had to whine about the crash in the 150's the other day....Thats all you hear out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainebuck Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 Gordon owes that win to Kurt Busch. My blood is boiling. Going to keep my mouth shut and not say something I'll regret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganHuntr1 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 Oh yeah In your face JR Fans! Hey everyone, wheres all the hendrick trash talking now.... Ill be civilized, Jr did good for the piece he had. But Gordon was up front all day. Busch.....lucky, he got a run, and got by Junior. You guys all heard Waltrip, Gordon prob had the fastest car out there. With all that said, ill stop. My guy won. Now...Lets hear the whining. IN YO FACE JR FANS!

Chrud Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 See how the Junior fans are replying? Had Junior won, no Gordon fan would have been as respectful as we have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganHuntr1 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 I wouldve People got to give Busch some credit, I know I wouldnt have settled for third. Even if he did get a run, he got by Junior. Still Lucky. But the guy got bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 What is there to trash talk about? Gordon won the race. No way was he the fastest though. I think Stewart had the car to beat, but I don't think he as good on plate tracks as he thinks he is. I got a topic in mind, eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deldeer Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 gordon pulled out another one!!!!!!!!!.....i must say i was impressed on how jr showed up at the end. kinda like hamilton did in the trucks.

MichiganHuntr1 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 One of the fastest. You didnt run down hendricks as others did on other threads Chrud. Youre good, thats why I respect you. I agree, but Old DW said it. Who cares though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 I know I am. I don't care much for Gordon or Johnson, but I RESPECT them. I'm not going to bash them at all. I don't mind Gordon so much, but JJ has an attitude that I just don't like. It bothers me that he seems like anytime anyone touches him on the track that they should get fired. He's a great driver, but I think his head gets a little big, especially after getting wrecked. He'll be a champion, but with the attitude he has, he'll keep getting fan reaction like Gordon got, not real cheerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deldeer Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 been to plenty of cup races & they cheer for j.j., however they boo the crap out of gordon. i really don't see j.j.'s attitude ????... lets be honest most of them whine when things don't go their way.i mean if you ask me, i think alot of it is the press, they just keep beating the same dead horse sometimes. (this is just my take on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 There is no whining by the Junior fans going on. Just glad they didn't throw crap on the track at Gordon, because it would've been blamed on ALL Junior fans. But Gordon wasn't as fast as Stewart, but was in the right position to win, and he used his talent to win it. Good job to him. It was a boring race until the end, that was the worst part about it. They should use the plate package they used at 'dega lastyear, that made for some awesome racing the whole race! Just wished Junior would've won though. Worst part of the whole thing was in the post race interview with him Junior said some thing like "I think I could've cleared Gordon so he wouldn't have passed me, but I wasn't sure" i watched the race over again and I think he couldve cleared him and had thelead when the caution cameout. Thats racing! UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 Why does everyone keep saying Gordon wasn't as fast as Stewart...Gordon had some of the fastest practice times...and might I add had the fastest lap time of the whole race...his car was far more consistant than most...and if anyone recalects JR. had a deal with Stewart to run the bottom if Gordon went high, which he did and what does Jr. do, he takes advantage of it and passes Stewart, I'll bet dimes to donuts that won't happen again... Like I have said before Gordon is one of the best when it comes to car managment as he showed once again today..... , but have to say Jr. did one heck of a job racing to the front in the end, and that folks takes one heck of a driver to accomplish. My hat is of to the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtBowhunter Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 Yeah Baby.......The drive for 5 starts at Daytona!!! Gordon did have the fastest car today......all you had to do was watch the ticker to see that. The fastest car doesn't always run away with it, especially when it's a track where the draft is so vital. To see how fast he was you really only needed to see how he was able to shoot to the outside and stay with the leader for such a long time.......nobody else could do it today. If they tried they went straight backwards fast. My hat's off to Jr. for having such an outstanding finish with a car that he himself said was no good. Just shows what kind of talent he has to race that well with a bad car. It's funny to watch all the Jr. this and Gordon that. I think both sets of fans love to tease the other because both guys drive in a very similar manner, very hard and clean. As for Tony Stewart........is he really trying to get placed on probation already? The guy is just too hot headed for this sport. Trying to put Jimmie Johnson in the wall was totally uncalled for and very unprofessional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterfowler_gal Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: the 24 wins the 500 I like that ending gutsy move Dale Jr. made taking first (that's my man) but I wish he could of held on to his position and won.... Since the season has just begun let the good times ROLL!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
