jburns Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 If he wins Sunday I'm going to be sick. He should be in the championship. Missed it by one point and one corner. Oh and thanks to Keselowski the week before! No, he shouldn't be in the championship. See bolded above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 James, I don't know what Gordon's deal is on restarts. He's better this year than last, though. I would like to see only race winners allowed to make the final round or last couple of rounds of the chase. In some ways, I hope Newman wins, because if he does, I will almost guarantee that will happen. Gordon is out by one point, but it is what it is under the new system. Larson never should have been caught by Newman. Gordon probably shouldn't have come down in front of Keselowski in the previous race. Gordon's crew should have been more decisive in that race also. It would have allowed him to remain only one lap down with the opportunity to pass another car or two. But instead, they couldn't get it together and he went two laps down. It is what it is.

Solak Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I want to see Gordon win, Newman take the championship, then sit back and read all the 'intellectual' comments all winter long on the various NASCAR boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 No, he shouldn't be in the championship. See bolded above. I didn't mean that NASCAR should let him or that is it NASCAR's fault. I guess I'm just butthurt that he didn't get in. Lol this was his best chance in a long time to get number 5. Just all the things that were happening to him at the end was hard to swallow. I know what your saying though. If if and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a Merry Christmas. James, I don't know what Gordon's deal is on restarts. He's better this year than last, though.

This is Gordon's best year in awhile for restarts. The one at Indy and Michigan were great restarts with 17 to go. I just think he isn't as aggressive enough on restarts like drivers such as Kurt or Kyle Busch. It is like he doesn't trust to car to stick in the corner. But he always is better on the long run than the short run. That has to hurt for him knowing that all the hard work for 35 weeks and all the time and commitment and he only missed it by a fraction. There were just so many circumstances that went against him like you said. If Junior hadn't of beat him at Mville, if the caution wouldn't of come out with him leading at 4 to go in Texas. If he would of taken the inside lane instead of the outside on the last restart. Then if the whole Keselowski thing hadn't of happened. Then with Newman at Phoenix. There was just a lot of things that could of went differently. That's life I guess. Anyways it should be a fun race today with many what if scenarios. I just hope they keep it clean. Wouldn't it be something if Jeff won today!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be something if Jeff won today!? Yeah all good points. This is his best year in forever. I guess that's the price you pay for this format. You can literally be the best all year and have one tire blow out in one race of a three race chase round segment and finish second in the other two and still not be part of the championship mix. He's got the pole for the race and it's a good track for him. Should be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 might we see a slight risk posted for Monday? They've upped large part of the state to marginal risk right now. Well, it is that time in November where we usually get some severe weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Jeff Gor don, is a has been, we need to let it go! Right, four wins this year must be a has-been. Most points scored this year, too, IIRC. Too bad he threw away a good chance at a victory with pitting strategy tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, yeah, I was rooting for the drama if he did that. I have no problem with Harvick winning, though. He would have been overtaken by Harvick and Newman at the end, but he would have still probably finished top 5. Why in the world did he pit? I wish he'd have pitted when almost everyone else did. In any case, if that caution doesn't come out with less than 10 to go, he probably wins as he was ready to pass Hamlin, but it is what it is. I'm not sure why he pitted on the next-to-last caution.

I was hoping for some drama too...banging, wrecking, etc. Too many cautions today. Gordon probably should have pitted with everyone else like you said. Anyway, congrats to the 4.
