Hey Guys! Maybe we can get some conversation going today. Does anyone have any thoughts on Jeff Gordons opinion that the person in the lead after the 26 races should win something like either bonus money or a trophy or something. I think thats a good idea. Something to say all that hard work paid off in more then just 5 points from the driver second place in the points. Also, I was thinking it would be really cool if the 2nd Daytona race switched dates with Homestead-Miami. Then the season would begin and end in Daytona and both races are a big deal. Well, I'm sure that won't happen but I think it would be cool.

I like Jeff's idea. The leader should get something out of it. Bonus money is always good.

Yeah, think I'd prefer the money.

Congrats to Casey Mears on his 2nd Pole in a row! Nice qualifying effort by Jr, hopefully that means he's all healed up

 

[DukeStreetKing]

Yes, Jr. looked good today. Very nice qualifying time for a car in race trim. Should be a good day tomorrow. Thank God, I was getting bored with the racing lately.

YEA JEFF!

Anyone care to guess what type of fine NASCAR is going to give Jeff for celebrating on the start/finish line instead of Victory Lane. I'll guess Pepsi will handle the fine for him and NASCAR will have to rethink the way they're handling sponsors in Victory Lane.

 

[Cinderellafifi]

That was a great race! The ending was exciting with Jeff's car being damaged! CONGRATS, JEFF GORDON!!

P.S. I also thought about the drink sponsor controversy when I saw Jeff stop on the bricks.

 

[Muushka]

Yes, we can't wait to see how NASCAR handles this one. My score will be terrible--12 and 48 cars YIKES!!

But congrats to all the Jeffie fans.

What the heck happened during that last 1/2 lap? Mark Martin blows up and Jr. goes from 8th to 27th? Dang, my picks were looking pretty good up until that point.

I thought the same thing. I was most worried about my Bobby Labonte pick and was happy when I saw he was 15th. I thought for sure Jr. was in the top 10. Then I heard 27th. Oh well another week with a bad pick

Congrats to Jeff and his team. I thought the same thing about Nascar going to do something about stopping the car there. Did you see the official talking to the crew chief and also the one trying to steer Jeff away. They (Nascar) are making fools of themselves over this.

 

[Lanshark]

They (Nascar) are making fools of themselves over this.

I agree.

Congratulations to Jeff Gordon and his team on the 5th win of the season and his 4th at the Brickyard.

Congrats to Jrydberg. Nice job. How many is that now 2 or 3 wins? Just leave the powerade bottle alone okay?

Wow, as a Gordon fan I have to admit I'm pretty happy right now! Jayski is reporting this morning that it doesn't look like Gordon will be fined for stopping on the bricks before going to Victory Lane and that is a good thing. Jeff said it was spontaneous so guess they believed him My DH said either Gordon was sweating really bad or he had tears running down his cheek. If it was tears I think it's great that after 69 wins the man can still get emotional about a win. Was disappointed about both Martin and Jr having blown tires during the GWC, some JR fans (on another board) were very upset blaming NASCAR - saying that if they hadn't done the GWC Jr would have finished 6th - could be true. I guess it's a case of be careful what you wish for cause you might get it and find out it's not what you wanted. Was happy to see Sadler do so well, but happier when Jeff passed him (sorry). Nice to see DJ up there too.

Jrydberg, Princessariel and XABearX were the only three who didn't have one of the following drivers - 48,12 or 8 and that is why they are our top 3 and in the single digits Here's how we all did:

[jrydberg]

Wooo! I'll leave the Powerade bottles alone as long as I get from Miss Winston-- er... Miss Nextel? in victory lane

Pardon me while I kiss the bricks

BTW, that's 2 wins for the DISboard, Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, Hewlett Packard, Intel Pentium 4 Posting Team. Congrats to everyone and to Jeff Gordon. Heck of a race. A shame that several contenders had so many problems on the last few laps.
