"The only way I could get by him was to wreck him, but he's my teammate and I tell you what, there's going to be some interesting racing going forward because he blocked me really bad," Gordon said. "I thought I had a chance at him a couple times, but he shut the door on me pretty good. ... He did exactly what he should have done."
Which doesn't mean the four-time series champion liked it at all.

  Johnson won for the 26th time in his career and extended Gordon's winless streak to 24, keeping him one victory short of tying the late Dale Earnhardt for sixth on NASCAR's career list with 76. It was Hendricks' seventh victory in the last nine races at 0.526-mile Martinsville, the smallest, oldest and trickiest track on the circuit.

I'm so glad Gordon didn't win.

I have followed Nascar since 1963.
My favorite tracks are the little paper clip shaped ones: Bristol, Martinsville and Richmond. These tracks are so short that the leader has to often lap slower traffic. This introduces an additional element that is not as often present at Daytona or Tally.
Anyone ever see a night race at Bristol?

  I would LOVE to see a night race at Bristol. My husband and I went to Bristol a couple of years ago (day race) and I am quite anxious to go back. I have heard the tickets for a night race are hard to come by....any suggestions?

  Please don't comment on things you don't understand. It is alot of money, but of course that provides thousands of jobs around the country, in many different industries! Maybe the poor, or those without houses could flip burgers, and/or pick up trash around the racetracks and make some money! WOW, what a concept? (get a job and make money!)

Yesterdays race was a real good one. We saw what two teammates should do for a race to the finish line. Unlike what happened to Jimmy the year before with a teammate who did not mind that he had to wreck him to win. You can tell that Jeff was not happy that Jimmy blocked him the way he did. But it is exactly what Jeff would have done. He is a master at the block along with Tony Stewart.
He was upset cause he thought his car was better. But Jimmy is Jeff's protege so it is no wonder that Jimmy was able to block him the way he did.
But I still hate the CoT, the Car of Tomorrow. It still looks like a Matchbox Car. And I like how so many people do not realize that everything you have on your car now. That technology came from Guys racing around a track in a circle. You morons need to do some more reading of what NASCAR has done for your car.
